What MTF Breast Augmentation Can Do

  • Enhance breast size and shape with saline or silicone implants
  • Improve symmetry and feminine contour while staying proportionate
  • Stage expansion when skin/tissue needs a gradual approach

Implant Choices We’ll Discuss

  • Fill: Saline (≥18) or silicone gel (≥22), based on preference and candidacy
  • Profile & shape: To match chest width and your desired look
  • Placement: Subglandular vs. submuscular—selected for your lifestyle and soft-tissue coverage
  • Incisions: Options reviewed with scar-care guidance

Who’s a Candidate?

  • Transgender women and non-binary patients in good health with realistic goals
  • Those on HRT or not—many choose to be on hormones ~12 months before surgery
  • 18+ for saline implants; 22+ for silicone (per FDA guidance)

Complementary Options

Planning Your Surgery

During your consultation, Dr. Dellinger will examine your chest wall, skin elasticity, and soft-tissue coverage, then review sizing with sizers and photos. If you have minimal breast development or tight skin, a two-stage approach with temporary tissue expanders can gently prepare the area before placing implants for a safer, prettier result.

Considering other changes too? We’ll discuss the pros and cons of combining procedures versus staging them for recovery and safety.

What to Expect

Early Recovery

Results
Noticeable change right away; implants soften and settle over ~3–6 months as shape refines.

MTF Breast Augmentation FAQs

How much does surgery cost?

Costs vary by plan (implant type, staging, combined procedures). We’ll provide a personalized quote and financing options at your consult.

Does insurance ever cover it?

Some insurers may cover gender-affirming procedures when criteria are met. Check your policy; we’re happy to provide documentation as appropriate.

Do I need to be on hormones?

No. Many patients choose ~12 months of HRT first for natural tissue development, but it’s not required. We’ll tailor sizing and approach either way.

Am I old enough?

General guidance: saline implants for patients 18+, silicone gel for 22+. We’ll review your candidacy and preferences together.

What about risks?

All surgeries carry risks such as infection, bleeding, implant malposition, capsular contracture, and changes in nipple sensation. Careful technique and following your aftercare plan help reduce risks. If revision is ever needed, we’ll discuss options.
