FTM top surgery in Turkey
FTM top surgery, also known as chest masculinization surgery, is a gender-affirming procedure designed to create a flatter, more masculine chest contour. There is no single best technique for every patient: the right method depends on chest size, amount of excess skin, nipple position and skin elasticity.
