Before and After Top surgery Pictures
Everything went very easily, the case when you are dealing with highly qualified specialists
Hello everyone, There was a problem with gynecomastia in the left breast. I saw an advertisement from the “bookimed” campaign on the Internet, after which I read the reviews (which aroused confidence) and contacted “Bookimed”, the company's managers were sympathetic to my situation and coordinated with Elena who works at B.care medical clinic (in Bangkok) . Elena clearly and clearly explained how we can eliminate this problem, after which I came for a consultation, having done an ultrasound scan, sent blood tests and after consulting with Elena and a Thai surgeon, gynecomastia in the left breast was confirmed, it was decided to operate. I arrived at the clinic on the morning of the operation, Elena and a team of Thai nurses prepared everything clearly and after 2-3 hours the doctor began the operation under local anesthesia, the operation lasted 1 hour + -, everything was professional, Elena's support was present even during the operation (tk I didn’t sleep), after the operation, I spent one more day at the hospital in the clinic (the room is very comfortable, the conditions and communication from the staff are at a high level - shower, food, cleaning, Elena and nurses visit to control my condition). Everything went very easily, the case when you are dealing with highly qualified specialists. Elena, thank you for organizing and coordinating the preparatory, operational and postoperative working moments and for maintaining morale during the operation!

FAQ about Top surgery in Thailand

What is top surgery?

Top surgery is a gender-affirming procedure for transgender and non-binary individuals. It modifies chest appearance to align with one's gender identity. Transmasculine top surgery (female-to-male) involves removing breast tissue and contouring the chest. Transfeminine individuals may undergo breast augmentation. The surgery aims to alleviate gender dysphoria and enhance quality of life. Results can dramatically improve self-image and confidence. 

However, it's a major medical procedure requiring careful consideration and planning. If you're looking into top surgery, Thailand offers some of the world's most experienced surgeons and high-quality facilities.

Who is a good candidate for top surgery?

Good candidates for top surgery typically possess the following characteristics:

✅Adults aged 18 or older

✅Transgender men and women, as well as non-binary individuals, experiencing persistent gender dysphoria

✅Mentally stable with realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

✅In good overall physical health with an acceptable Body Mass Index (BMI)

✅Non-smokers or those willing to quit before surgery

✅Living in their affirmed gender role for a significant period

✅Have a supportive network of family or friends

✅Fully understand the procedure, its effects, risks, and limitations

✅Evaluated by a mental health professional who can provide a letter confirming the patient’s readiness for the procedure

Why choose Thailand for top surgery?

🌎Global reputation. Thailand is a leading destination for medical tourism, attracting over 2 million visitors annually, with a significant number seeking gender-affirming surgeries. Known as the sex change capital of the world, Thailand stands out as the premier choice for transgender patients from across the globe.

🩺Expertise. Thai surgeons are globally recognized for their proficiency in sex reassignment surgery (SRS), boasting decades of specialized training and experience. Since Dr. Preecha Tiewtranon performed Thailand's first transgender surgery in 1975, the country has been at the forefront of this field for nearly five decades.

🏥World-class clinics. Hospitals like Bangkok Plastic Surgery Clinic and Yanhee International use the latest technologies and adhere to rigorous international standards. These institutions, along with Chulalongkorn University, drive research and training in transgender care.

💰Affordable costs. Top surgery in Thailand can cost three times less than you'd pay in countries like the United States. It is a financially accessible option for those without insurance coverage or just looking for affordable options that won’t compromise quality.

🤝Hospitality. Thai medical staff make patients feel welcome and supported, reflecting the country's accepting and open-minded culture. This welcoming atmosphere can significantly enhance your recovery experience.

🏳️‍⚧️Trans-friendly culture. Thailand's visible and accepted transgender community, including prominent figures in entertainment and media, fosters an environment of understanding and respect. This cultural acceptance translates to empathetic care in medical settings.

🌴Recovery in paradise. Imagine recovering from your top surgery in a tranquil tropical setting. Thailand offers the unique opportunity to combine your medical procedure with a rejuvenating getaway.

What top surgery techniques do doctors use in Thailand?

Thai surgeons employ a variety of top surgery techniques, choosing according to each patient's unique needs, anatomy, and skin quality.

🚹Techniques for female-to-male top surgery (or FTM mastectomy surgery) in Thailand include:

1. Double incision with a free nipple graft

image

Double incision is the most common FTM top surgery method for trans men with moderate to large breasts. The surgeon makes two horizontal incisions, removes breast tissue and excess skin, contours the chest, and repositions nipples. It results in a flat chest but may lead to some scarring and potential changes in nipple sensation.

2. Periareolar technique

image

Ideal for smaller chest sizes (A or B cup), this FTM top surgery method involves incisions around the areola. It leaves minimal scarring and often preserves nipple sensation, though some trans men may need revisions for complete chest flatness.

3. Keyhole top surgery

image

This surgical technique is reserved for very small breasts with good skin elasticity. It uses a small incision along the lower areola border. Keyhole FTM surgery offers minimal scarring but has limited applicability.

4. Inverted T or T-anchor

image

Suitable for larger chests, this female-to-male top surgery method preserves nipple attachment and sensation. It creates a natural contour but may not achieve complete flatness.

5. Buttonhole technique

Similar to the inverted T but with less scarring, this FTM top surgery method works well for trans men with medium-sized chests. It balances tissue removal with nipple preservation.

6. Fishmouth or "Batwing" incision

image

This unique approach creates a distinctive and more visible scar pattern, appealing to some non-binary individuals. It offers good chest flatness and sensation preservation.

🚺Breast augmentation for transfeminine patients involves the placement of implants to increase breast volume and improve shape. 

image

Options include:

  1. Saline implants filled with sterile salt water post-insertion. They require smaller incisions and are less expensive.
  2. Silicone implants pre-filled with silicone gel. They offer a softer, more natural feel and better texture.

What is included in the top surgery package in Thailand?

Top surgery packages in Thailand can vary between clinics, but typically include:

  • Surgeon, anesthesiologist, and operating room fees
  • Hospital stay in a private room
  • Essential pre-operative tests and consultations
  • Anesthesia and medical supplies
  • Post-operative care and medications
  • Meals during hospital stay
  • Follow-up appointments
  • Transfers to/from hospital

Centers like Bangkok Plastic Surgery Clinic also offer a 24-hour in-room attendant for solo travelers.

Where to get gender reassignment surgery in Thailand?

For top surgery in Thailand, two prominent locations stand out:

📍Bangkok

👍Home to highly skilled surgeons with over 30 years of experience and a strong track record in successful top surgeries

👍Numerous specialized clinics and hospitals

👍Comprehensive care, including psychological support

👍One of the world’s most visited cities with diverse attractions

👎Can be overwhelming due to the busy urban environment

📍Phuket

👍High-quality accredited clinics

👍Tranquil, resort-like recovery environment

👎Fewer options for specialized surgeons compared to Bangkok

Both locations offer excellent medical care, but the choice often depends on personal preference for urban or resort settings during recovery.

How to find the best sex reassignment surgery specialists in Thailand?

To find the best gender surgeons in Thailand for chest reconstruction:

  1. Look for a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience and qualifications in reconstructive surgery.
  2. Verify the credentials and certifications of reconstructive surgeons. Ensure they are recognized by reputable medical boards and have specialized training in gender surgery.
  3. Read top surgery reviews from previous patients for firsthand insights into a surgeon's expertise, patient satisfaction, and the quality of post-operative care.
  4. Ask for before and after photos to see examples of the surgeon’s work to assess the quality and outcomes of their work.

What are the requirements for top surgery in Thailand?

Requirements for top surgery in Thailand can vary depending on the clinic and whether it adheres to WPATH guidelines or the informed consent model. However, it's common for Thai gender surgeons to request:

  • A letter from a licensed psychologist recommending surgery.
  • Proof of hormone therapy for at least one year (prescription or doctor's letter).
  • A series of pre-surgery tests, including a chest X-ray, EKG, complete blood count (CBC), blood sugar levels, HIV status, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), urinalysis (UA), kidney function (Bun/Cr), electrolytes, and liver function tests (LFT).

Some plastic surgery clinics may have additional or fewer requirements. It's best to check with your chosen surgeon for their specific protocols.

What steps does top surgery in Thailand involve?

Here is an approximate breakdown of how your visit to Thailand for top surgery will look like:

🗓️Day 1: Arrival. Upon arriving in Thailand, you'll settle into your accommodation. This day is for acclimating to the new environment and resting after travel.

🗓️Day 2: Pre-operative assessments. The day begins with an initial consultation with your doctor to discuss your surgical goals and confirm the surgical plan. If not conducted previously, pre-operative assessments and screenings will follow to ensure your fitness for surgery.

🗓️Day 3: Surgery. The surgery itself, typically performed under general anesthesia, takes 2-3 hours.

🗓️Day 4: Post-operative recovery in hospital. You’ll spend about one night in the hospital under observation to manage pain, prevent complications, and start the initial recovery.

🗓️Days 5-10: Discharge and initial recovery period. You will stay nearby for a few days after being discharged. During this time, the surgeon will monitor your recovery, remove drains if placed, and assess the surgical site. This phase includes follow-up visits to the clinic.

🗓️Day 11: Return home. Once cleared by the doctor, you can return home. Travel is usually safe at this stage, provided there are no complications.

🗓️Weeks to months after surgery. Doctors can often conduct further follow-ups virtually.

How long will the recovery from this surgical procedure take?

Recovery from both female-to-male and male-to-female top surgery generally takes about 6 weeks before patients can fully engage in physical activities. The first 3 weeks are critical; during this period, patients need to take it easy, as they'll face the most restrictions and experience the highest levels of discomfort and swelling. Most patients can expect to return to work within 1 to 2 weeks after the surgery, but they'll still need to manage some limitations as they heal.

What are the possible risks and complications of top surgery?

  • Scarring. Scars may take up to 18 months to fade and could be pronounced, depending on the surgery type.
  • Hematoma. Occurs in about 1-2% of cases, causing pain, swelling, and increased infection risk.
  • Seroma. Fluid accumulation under the skin which might resolve on its own or require drainage.
  • Infection. Rare but possible, requiring antibiotics and drainage.
  • Nipple graft breakdown. Risk of tissue necrosis if nipples are repositioned, potentially needing additional surgery.
  • Reduced nipple sensitivity. Nerve damage during surgery can lead to permanent changes in sensation.
