]]> Embarking on a transformative journey to align physical appearance with gender identity can be exciting and daunting. One of the essential steps in this process for many transgender women is undergoing Male-to-Female (MTF) breast augmentation surgery. In Austin, Texas, Dr. Trussler is a renowned plastic surgeon specializing in helping patients achieve their desired results with sensitivity and professionalism. In this blog, we’ll discuss the criteria for good candidates for MTF breast augmentation and the importance of realistic expectations throughout this process.

5 Steps to Ensuring You’re a Good Candidate for MTF Breast Augmentation

The first step in your journey is determining whether you are a suitable candidate for MTF breast augmentation. Dr. Trussler has outlined several critical factors to consider:

  1. Physical Health: Patients should be in good overall health, without significant medical issues such as diabetes, hypertension, or cancer. A healthy body is more likely to heal well and minimize complications during and after surgery.

  2. Weight: Candidates should be within 10 percent of their ideal weight. This helps ensure a more predictable and successful surgical outcome and reduces the risk of complications.

  3. Age: Patients must be at least 18 to undergo MTF breast augmentation. This age requirement ensures that the individual is mature enough to make a well-informed decision about their body and future.

  4. Hormone Therapy: Candidates should already be on hormone therapy, as this will impact breast development and the overall success of the surgery.

  5. Smoking: Non-smokers are preferred, but if you smoke, you should be willing to quit for at least 2-4 weeks before and after surgery. Smoking can delay healing and increase the risk of complications.

Setting Realistic Expectations for MTF Breast Augmentation

During your consultation with Dr. Trussler, he will emphasize the importance of having realistic expectations for your MTF breast augmentation surgery. While the procedure will undoubtedly change your body to better match your expressed gender, it is crucial to remember that perfection is not the goal. It’s essential to approach this life-changing surgery with a balanced mindset, understanding that the results will help you feel more comfortable in your skin but may not eliminate all body-related concerns.
