Frequently Asked Questions

Will I need to wear special clothing after mastectomy or chest masculinization?

Yes, it is recommended to wear compression garments for the 4 weeks following the surgery.

Is prior hormonal treatment necessary before undergoing mastectomy for chest masculinization?

No, prior hormonal treatment before surgery is not essential. Hormonal treatment does not significantly affect breast size if they are already developed.

Is it possible to have this procedure without very visible scars?

The length of the scar in this procedure typically depends on breast volume and skin quality. In general, with smaller breast size, the aesthetic results of the surgery can be better.

Can I still get breast cancer if I have undergone chest masculinization?

After chest masculinization, which is performed on transgender individuals, the risk of breast cancer is practically negligible. However, the patient should perform self-examinations and check the chest and armpit area regularly to ensure everything is fine.

Rhinoplasty

Very happy with the result. Javier and his entire team are excellent professionals. Furthermore, the treatment has been unbeatable and very close from the first moment. I had many doubts about whether to have surgery or not and I have to say that I regret not having done it sooner, since the result is fantastic and I have not had any pain.
