Understanding AFAB Top Surgery: A Comprehensive Guide
What is Top Surgery?
Top surgery is a gender-affirming procedure designed to create a masculine or more androgynous chest. For many transgender men and some nonbinary people, this surgery plays a critical role in aligning physical appearance with gender identity. The medical term most often used is “subcutaneous mastectomy,” which means the removal of breast tissue under the skin, with or without reshaping or repositioning of the nipples.
