Personalizing Your Male to Female Breast Enhancement

The patient may select either saline or silicone implants based on preference and anatomy. Dr. Mandell-Brown uses trans-axillary or infra-mammary approaches to place the implants. During the consultation, he will review the implant type and the approach with the patient for an individualized surgical plan.

Preparing for Your Procedure

Routine lab work and history and physical are required prior to surgery. The Center also recommends clearance through the treating endocrinologist and/or psychologist.

The procedures can be performed at the Mandell-Brown Plastic Surgery Center which is state-licensed and accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC). The patient has the amenities of the hospital but the added privacy of a surgery center.

Recovering from Your Male to Female Breast Enhancement

During your recovery, Dr. Mandell-Brown can let you know what to expect during your recovery. Our team will also provide you with post-operative instructions following your male to female breast enhancement surgery in Cincinnati.

Male to Female Breast Enhancement FAQs

Definitely implants can be selected with a cup size in mind. Silicone implants are 150cc to 800cc. Saline implants also have an 800 cc for the largest size but this can be filled more depending on the patient’s goal. The skin and muscle will stretch to accommodate the implant and this may take some time after surgery.

We find that the transgender patient may experience more pain due to the amount of expansion of the skin. Usually, the pain dramatically improves by the third to fourth day after surgery. Pain medication and muscle relaxant medication will help.

We are known for a “Natural Look” but we can create the large round ‘Fake’ breast look as well as a natural sloped breast.

At the Mandell-Brown Plastic Surgery Center we have adopted policies that we are fee for service. Therefore, we do not accept insurance. However, some of our patients get the appropriate billing codes from us and seek direct reimbursement from their insurance provider.

There are both adolescent and adult specialists who can help the individual embark on this journey. We typically see patients after they have started hormone therapy, counseling, and are ready to take the surgical step.
