Q: How long does it take to recover from FTM surgery?

Recovery from FTM surgery typically lasts for about 4 weeks before you can return to your normal routine, including going to the gym. The first week may feel the slowest as this is when you will need to do the most rest and recovery.

Q: Is FTM Surgery covered by insurance?

Many insurance companies cover female-to-male (FTM) transgender surgery if deemed medically necessary. Coverage varies depending on the policy, and patients often need to provide documentation from healthcare providers supporting the necessity of the procedure. Although Dr. Fischer does not participate with insurance, we can often provide certain documentation needed for your reimbursement.

At The Advanced Center for Plastic Surgery in Baltimore, we support and care for all our patients in the trans community. For those looking to transition with FTM surgery, Dr. Fischer is here to help you embrace your authentic self. She has over 30 years of experience performing FTM top surgeries and will ensure you receive the support and care you need.

What Is FTM?

Dr. Fischer uses different approaches to FTM top surgery. These two techniques include:

Peri-Areolar (aka: Keyhole) technique
Double Incision technique

As a specialist in gender affirmation and a top female cosmetic surgeon in the Baltimore area, Dr. Fischer and her team are experts at performing these transformation procedures and understand the emotional and physical complexities that come with them. Together, they have helped countless people make this life-changing transition.

The FTM Top Surgery Process

With the Keyhole (Peri-Areolar) Technique

The Keyhole (Peri-Areolar) technique involves performing a bilateral mastectomy to remove all breast tissue, with areola and nipple reduction when needed. This approach focuses on creating a naturally flat, masculine chest contour using minimal incisions placed around the edge of the areola (peri-areolar), resulting in a more subtle and refined appearance.

With the Double Incision Technique

The Double Incision technique involves a bilateral mastectomy to remove all breast tissue and any excess skin from the chest area. During this procedure, the nipple and areola are resized and repositioned to achieve a more masculine placement. This approach creates a natural, flat, and well-defined chest appearance, making it ideal for individuals seeking a more sculpted and gender-affirming result.
