Surgical Therapy: Chest Wall Contouring for Female-to-Male Transsexuals

Abstract

The current chapter discusses the contouring for female-to-male transsexuals. The contouring of the chest wall is usually the first surgical step in female-to-male transsexuals. Its aim is to transform the female chest in one with a male appearance. It is usually the most sought after procedure in female-to-male transsexuals and the one that is performed almost on every patient with this gender disorder, as it provides the most visible result and has major implications in daily social interactions.
