Will there be visible scars after the surgery? How do I minimise them?

At Ambrosia, we try our best to minimise scars. Do remember to discuss this and how best to improve them during the pre-procedural consultation. For the Double Incision and Periareolar Top surgeries, it is usually advisable to have scar treatment for the first 3 months. During this time, the scars are typically most inflamed. You will also need to avoid excessive arm and chest movements in the first 6 weeks.

How painful is the top surgery?

Pain is a very subjective thing and differs from person to person; however that being said the pain for this surgery is minimal to moderate. You will be prescribed painkillers by your surgeon to deal with this.

When can I shower or bathe after this surgery?

Ideally you are allowed to shower after 48 hours but you cannot get your chest wet because of the dressings. Once these dressings come off on day 6, you can bathe with your chest wet.

Rest assured, FTM top surgery is permanent.

There may be loss of sensation in the nipples after FTM top surgery. Make sure you discuss these side effects with your surgeon during your pre-procedure consultation.

How long do I have to sleep on my back after top surgery?

Since your treatment area is the chest, it will need to be allowed an initial period of 2 weeks for recovery; after which you may resume sleeping on your side. Either way, do not lift any heavy objects or do any intensive exercise without the explicit approval from your surgeon.

How long does the compression vest need to stay on?

The compression vest or binder is necessary to be worn for the first 3 weeks following the surgery to help the treatment area heal. This may be removed by the surgeon after that or reapplied if deemed necessary.

The treatment and the taking care of the patient and the overall experience over here is quite different from other clinics I went so far, the staff and the service over here is incomparable to any other places. Dr. Priti Shukla is one of the kindest doctor you meet in this field so far. No ego, no attitude but a humble kind doctor who'd make you feel comfortable even for someone who wanna undergo FTM treatment. So I would suggest people to choose this place over other clinics cause there is no malpractice and no fraud. You'd get a genuine doctor who cares for you and a good staff who'd take care of you. The place is “very hygienic” and the Assistant Asha and the other nurses are really humble and kind and good to guide you over your issues and doubts.
