Liposuction for chest contouring can also be performed through the same incision.\u00a0 If the areola also needs to be reduced, typically this is done in a later stage to decrease the risk of jeopardizing the blood supply to the nipple and areola. To determine the best technique, of course requires an in person physical examination to not only assess the size of the breasts but also the skin tone and elasticity.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/drdadvandplasticsurgery.com\/procedures\/breast\/introduction-to-ftm-top-surgery\/\">FTM TOP surgery<\/a>, visit drdadvandplasticsurgery.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in FTM Top surgery, one of the discussions I have with patients is what the most appropriate surgical procedure is.
