Some nonbinary people have larger breasts than they want. If the temporary methods such as sports bras and binders do not meet their needs, then they may prefer to get surgery to reduce the size of their breasts.

Breasts that only need to be a little smaller can be reduced by the peri-areolar or keyhole method. | Some nonbinary people have larger breasts than they want.
