FTM Top Surgery in Seoul

What Is FTM Top Surgery?

FTM top surgery removes breast tissue and reshapes the chest to create a masculine, flat contour. Techniques are customized based on chest size, skin elasticity, and body goals, ensuring results that feel natural and aligned with each patient’s identity.

       FTM top surgery can help with:

• Achieving a flat, defined masculine chest
• Correcting chest dysphoria
• Creating a sharper pectoral contour
• Improving comfort in clothing
• Enhancing confidence and body alignment

        Ideal for medium to large chests.

• Removes tissue and excess skin
• Repositions the nipples for a natural masculine placement
• Provides the most predictable, flat results

2. Keyhole Mastectomy
        Suitable for small chests with good skin elasticity.

• Small incision under the areola

3. Peri-Areolar (Circular) Mastectomy
       Best for small to medium chests with moderate skin elasticity.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

        You may be suitable for FTM top surgery if you:

• Want a flatter, more masculine chest shape
• Experience chest dysphoria
• Have realistic expectations about scarring and results
• Are in good overall health
• Prefer natural masculine contours

Hormone therapy is not a requirement, although some patients may benefit from it before surgery.

How FTM Top Surgery Works

        Depending on the technique:

• Breast tissue is removed to flatten the chest
• Nipples may be resized or repositioned
• Contouring focuses on male chest anatomy and smooth, natural definition
• Incisions are placed to balance aesthetics with surgical safety

Seoul surgeons prioritize masculine shaping, symmetry, and minimal visible scarring.

Recovery Overview

       Recovery varies by technique:

• Light activities often resume within 1–2 weeks
• Compression garments are worn to support healing and contour
• Swelling reduces steadily over several weeks
• Scars continue to fade over several months
• Most patients return to normal activity gradually under medical guidance

         Full shaping becomes clearer as swelling subsides.
