FTM Surgery Explained
FTM Surgery or “female to male” surgery, refers to a group of plastic and urologic procedures designed to affirm a transgender man’s male gender. Top surgery, also known as chest masculinization, is the most common FTM procedure, and for many, it’s the only surgical step in their gender transition. Other options include hysterectomy, as well as genital reconstruction procedures like metoidioplasty and phalloplasty.

Additional procedures, such as the use of tissue expanders, monsplasty, and scrotal lifts, can further optimize results.
