Are you a trans woman considering breast surgery? If you imagine yourself having breast aesthetics, we would like to say that you are a brave person who owns her identity and dares to integrate her body with her identity. This awareness will benefit you emotionally in the gender affirmation process.

Breast aesthetics, which is considered within the scope of body feminization for trans women in terms of emotional, physical and metal completion, is an extremely popular application. It is considered one of the most visible and symbolic steps of physical and emotional transition for trans women. Breast surgery is not only an aesthetic but also a psychological process of being, in terms of making peace with the body in the mirror and feeling clearer with a complete female identity.

So what do you need to know about this process? Which methods are often used? Here are all the curious things about breast aesthetics for trans women:

1. What is Breast Surgery and What Does It Mean for Trans Women?

Breast surgery or augmentation mammaire surgery is a procedure that focuses on increasing the volume of the breasts, usually with silicone implants. Although trans women receive support from various hormone treatments to enlarge their breasts, sometimes these treatments may be insufficient. At this point, this surgery allows trans women to make the breasts that have not developed sufficiently despite hormone therapy to become what they want.

This surgery creates a great transformation not only in appearance but also in the completion of identité de genre internally. The shape of the breasts, one of the most powerful physical reflections of feeling and être une femme, directly affects self-confidence.

2. What are the Eligibility Requirements for Breast Surgery?

Although every trans woman wants breast surgery, it may not be suitable for some trans women. Generally, breast aesthetics is possible in the following cases:

• At least 12 months of hormone therapy
• Appropriate body mass index
• Adequate elasticity of the breast skin
• General health condition is suitable for surgery
• The surgeon will plan the surgery provided that these conditions are met.

3. Prosthesis Types and Options Used in Breast Surgery

Breast prostheses are divided into two main groups:

• Round Prostheses: For trans women, these prostheses provide a fuller and more pronounced cleavage. They are generally preferred for the first breast surgeries.
• Anatomical (Drop) Implants: Unlike round prostheses, there is a more natural appearance here. However, it requires a more precise placement.

For breast surgeries, factors such as the surface of the prosthesis (rough or smooth), its content (silicone gel or saline) and size are planned individually.

4. Steps of the Breast Surgery Process

The breast surgery process proceeds as follows for trans women:

1. Consultation:
   The surgeon listens to the wishes and expectations of the individuals for pre-breast aesthetic planning. Accordingly, the prosthesis type, size and placement technique are determined.
2. Surgery:
   Breast aesthetic surgery is performed under general anesthesia and takes approximately 1-2 hours. In the context of surgery, the prosthesis is usually placed as follows:
   An incision is made under the breast (inframammary),
   It is placed through the nipple (periareolar).
3. Recovery:
   Pain and swelling may occur for the first few days after the procedure. A sports bra is used to support the surgery for 4-6 weeks and heavy activities are avoided during this period. Complete recovery usually takes 2-3 months.
4. Most Curious Topics
   The most curious questions about breast aesthetics among trans women are as follows:

• Is there a loss of sensation after breast surgery?
• There may be temporary loss of sensation in and around the nipple. Permanent loss of sensation is rare and the technique applied by the surgeon is important at this point.
• How long do prostheses last?
• Modern prostheses are generally compatible with the body and can be used for a lifetime. However, since the body changes over time, it may need to be checked every 10 years on average.
• If natural breast development after hormone therapy is sufficient, may surgery still be necessary?
• Yes. This is completely shaped according to the expectations of trans women. Even if there is breast growth, if the desired shape or volume is not sufficient, aesthetics can be applied.
• Is there a risk of the prosthesis bursting?
• This risk is extremely low. The silicones used today are very durable and do not spread and damage the body even in traumatic situations such as impact.

6. Why is Turkey popular among trans women for breast surgery?

• Turkey, especially Antalya, stands out for its surgeons with their sensitive approach to trans women and their experience in this field. It offers high quality breast aesthetics at more affordable prices compared to Western countries.
• English-speaking and communicative clinical staff
• Surgical planning with psychological support and focus on patient comfort
• “Medical vacation” all-inclusive packages covering the whole process
• Thanks to these opportunities, breast aesthetics for trans women in Turkey is not only an aesthetic operation, but also a journey of self-discovery.
