I appreciate the less graphic depiction! Watching the actual surgeries makes my stomach turn.
Absolutely! We know that everyone has a different level of comfort watching live surgeries. Animated videos are a great way to provide a very similar experience. Thanks for watching. We're glad you found this content to be helpful :) More information on the Buttonhole technique can be found on our website: www.genderconfirmation.com/surgery/buttonhole/
Thank you for sharing this video. I was a little freaked out by double incision where the just remove the entire nipple itself and was looking for different methods where they don't do that cause I've heard a lot of ppl say that they feel NOTHING in their nipples and i definitely do not want that. I know sensation is not guaranteed here but for me, it's a better try and choice than double incison.
some surgeons hide the scars under the armpits my issue with most surgeries is the fact the scaring in most is obvious and does not give the image of a Male chest. I hope some day FTM surgery will get to MTF level so we arent just getting a masectomy with nipple grafts.
This is wonderful feedback and we are very grateful to learn from your experience. The Gender Confirmation Center recognizes that all incision types, gender identities and bodies are completely valid. A chest that does not appear to be ideally male or female is also completely valid, including the incision techniques that are used to achieve variant transgender & non-binary presentations. It is always important to include all bodies, thank you for your comment!
Wow really good video! I am getting the buttonhole one, my docter said that I could look up some videos and found yours.
Thank you for making this video!
Weird question, If the patient had a 48 lbs. ovarian cyst removed and has a scar from the lower rib cage down to the pelvic region how would that effect the surgery?
Thanks for asking this question, I think for something of this nature Dr. Mosser would need to get some more medical background information before being able to give a medical opinion. If you're interested in getting in touch with him and to find out if you'd be a good candidate for top surgery in addition to addressing your question, he does free virtual consultations with folks (www.genderconfirmation.com/contact-us/).
hey idk if you ever got an answer for this but a friend of mine got top surgery and had a scar on his ribs. the scar didn't move and didn't impact the surgery. of course you can discuss this with a surgeon when it comes time, situations vary etc. but I thought some input might be appreciated!
Really appreciate this video! It helped me see that I really probably want to ensure I have a surgeon who at least does the Inverted T to help weigh out what I want; but so far all pros with minimal cons! I'm fat, being completely flat would be weird.
Thank you for this excellent and informative video, it really helps with visualizing the different techniques. Do all surgeons using the inverted t scar pattern for radical reductions or top surgery use the inferior pedicle or do some use a different pedicle?
That is a great question, there are other pedicles that can be used. The other most commonly used pedicle is the superomedial pedicle, where the blood supply comes from the inner, top of the chest. This pedicle is chosen for individuals that are interested in having more fullness above the nipple, rather than below it as is the case in the inferior pedicle.
There are other scar patterns in addition to the inverted T that are used in radical reduction; however the inverted T allows for the most skin and tissue reduction, so it is most commonly used in radical reductions, when the patient wants as much tissue removed as possible.
Will you ever upload a live button hole operation?
The Gender Confirmation Center team is always working to expand the content that is available to folks online. It is our goal to have a live-surgery video for each procedure that is available and is dependent on folks who are willing to let us film the entire process professionally. I highly encourage you to follow our team on Instagram if you have not already (@gendconfirmationcenter) and subscribing to Dr. Mosser's UA-cam Channel to receive notifications when we upload new content.
Does this surgery technique retain one's ability to breastfeed?
Though there are definitely anecdotal cases of people who can chestfeed after some types of top surgery, you should definitely not count on this, and for sure it will not be possible after procedures other than aggressive breast reduction and possibly buttonhole / inverted T. For more on chestfeeding please visit: www.genderconfirmation.com/blog/chestfeeding/
No downvotes!!!! wow
I'm really happy I don't have a big cup because that means I could get this surgery! I really hope the tables don't turn when I turn 18 cause that would suck
Fr, glad im so flat ehe
hope im understanding it right, so an inverted T procedure would not allow for the development of a muscular chest? i know the chest won’t be as flat as with other surgeries, but if someone worked out their chest would it end up looking like pecs or would it be more like fat? not sure if that makes sense, hope it does! ^^
Hi! Thanks for reaching out. Inverted-T is typically not the recommended procedure for patients who want to build a muscular-looking chest, but it largely depends on the amount of chest tissue that is present before surgery. Having a consultation with a surgeon is the best way to determine for a certainty. In the meantime, feel free to check out this how-to guide for determining which incision types may be an option based on one’s personal bodily anatomy and goals. www.genderconfirmation.com/choosing-ftm-top-surgery/
Thank you for the informative video! I want buttonhole surgery but it was unclear to me how it was performed.
Great video! Would someone that went through a breast reduction prior to top surgery be a candidate for these procedures as opposed to double incision?
Most commonly, patients are not candidates for buttonhole or inverted-T when they have had a breast reduction procedure previously. The reason is that the first reduction alters the blood flow pathway to the nipple and areola, and then the second surgery (the top surgery when done via inverted-T or buttonhole) can interrupt this blood flow and threaten the survival of the nipples and areolas.
This definitely seems like something that’d work, it’s just the drains that squick me
i'm late as hell i know lol but i'm confused as to why you can't get a flat result with these surgeries. there seems to be a wide enough opening to get out most of the breast tissue and contour it. why is it different?
Thank you for your inquiry! There is actual tissue left behind, which is attached to the areola. We call this tissue the "pedicle" and it remains behind. It gets compressed by the skin but is still present and will often lead to a mound of one sort or another. It is not an issue of having a wide enough opening. it is an issue of leaving behind pedicle as an essential component of these procedure types. The "pedicle" is the medical term for the tissue that contains the blood and nerve supply and is why it's an essential component; without the pedicle the nipple and areolar wouldn't survive the procedure. We hope this helps!
My surgeon said she doesn't use drains with this procedure. Am I going to be okay or are drains a must?
Every surgeon has different techniques and practices that can differ and vary. If you are concerned, we recommend discussing the pros and cons of using drains with your surgeon for more clarification. We hope this helps!
How much cost it all

So if someone is a B-C cup, it'll be as flat as someone will double incision?
Thanks for inquiring! If the flattest chest possible is the goal, double incision is typically the best approach. One’s candidacy for inverted T & Buttonhole also depends on the infrabreast angle, in addition to the cup size. To determine the infrabreast angle correlating top surgery options, visit www.genderconfirmation.com/which-surgery-is-for-me/
Hope you have a great day!
Question: I understand that the inverted T procedure aims to preserve nipple sensation, but is it possible to receive the surgery and get a result without nipples? I am nonbinary and don't wish to have nipples in my end result, but I prefer the more full shape that inverted T results can give as I want a more gender neutral chest that can be presented femininely or masculinely. Is it possible to receive the same shape with double incision? I haven't seen double incision results before that have the fuller shape, the only examples I've seen that I like are inverted T, but I don't want nipples/nipple grafts.
Yes, we perform this procedure, but when done with nipples it is called a "buried pedicle technique." It is useful for patients to send in images for their consult, in which the images are the goals of maximum fullness and shape, with a body type that is similar to the patient's body type. The images can be “male” or “female” or nonbinary, and cis or trans, and pre-op or post-op - the main goal is the amount of tissue left over being communicated via the photos. We hope this helps!
