Transgender Breast Augmentation Surgery in Fort Lauderdale, FL

Affirm your identity with MTF top Surgery in Fort Lauderdale
Every woman’s experience is personal—and for many transgender women, developing a feminine chest is an important step in aligning their physical appearance with their gender identity. MTF top surgery, also known as transfeminine breast augmentation, is designed to create a fuller, more traditionally feminine breast shape using implants tailored to your anatomy and goals.
This procedure is not solely about increasing volume—it’s about helping you feel more comfortable and confident in your body. Whether you’re seeking subtle enhancement or a more defined contour, your surgical plan will be personalized to reflect your preferences, proportions, and desired outcome.
At the South Florida Center for Cosmetic Surgery, we’re committed to providing high-quality, patient-centered care in a respectful and supportive environment. Our goal is to deliver natural-looking, affirming results that help you feel empowered and aligned with your true self.
Your look, your goals — MTF top surgery removal
We understand that every patient’s goals, anatomy, and gender journey are unique at the South Florida Center for Cosmetic Surgery. That’s why we approach MTF top surgery with a fully personalized plan designed to support your vision, preferences, and body structure.
Whether you’re seeking a more traditionally feminine contour, our experienced surgeons will work closely with you to select the right implant size, shape, and placement. Your surgical plan will also take into account skin elasticity, chest width, and nipple positioning to ensure safe, aesthetically pleasing results.
Many patients report feeling more confident, comfortable, and aligned with their identity after surgery—both in everyday life and in how they express themselves through clothing, movement, and personal interactions.
The cost of MTF top surgery at the South Florida Center starts at $1,999 (excluding anesthesia and surgeon fees). Final pricing may vary depending on implant choice, surgical technique, and any additional procedures selected as part of your treatment plan.
To make your procedure more accessible, we offer flexible financing through trusted third-party providers. Our team is here to support you throughout the entire process—from your initial consultation to full recovery.
Choosing the right implants for your goals
Implant selection is one of the most important parts of the MTF top surgery process. At the South Florida Center for Cosmetic Surgery, we take a personalized approach to help you choose implants that align with your body, preferences, and gender-affirming goals.
During your consultation, your surgeon will walk you through the following options
Implant type
For MTF top surgery, we offer both saline and silicone breast implants, giving patients the flexibility to choose the option that best aligns with their goals, body type, and personal preferences.
- Silicone implants are filled with a cohesive gel that closely mimics the feel of natural breast tissue. They tend to offer a more natural look and feel, especially for patients with a smaller frame or less existing chest tissue.
- Saline implants are filled with sterile salt water and inserted empty before being filled to the desired size. They are slightly firmer in feel and can be adjusted more precisely in volume during surgery.
Both implant types come in a wide range of sizes and profiles, allowing our surgeons to customize your results for a balanced, feminine, and natural-looking chest. During your consultation, we’ll walk you through each option and help you decide which implant type is the best fit for your desired outcome.
Fat grafting for chest feminization
Fat grafting is a natural option for enhancing the chest during MTF top surgery. This technique uses your own body fat—typically taken from areas like the abdomen, flanks, or thighs—which is purified and carefully injected into the chest to create a fuller, more feminine contour.
Fat grafting can help
- Add soft, natural-looking volume
- Refine chest shape and projection
- Enhance feminization for patients with some breast development from hormone therapy
- Avoid synthetic materials by using your own tissue
This method is ideal for patients who prefer a subtle, natural result and want to shape their chest using only their own body. During your consultation, your surgeon will assess your goals, body composition, and available donor fat to see if fat grafting aligns with your desired outcome.
Implant shape
You may choose between round or anatomical (teardrop-shaped) implants. Round implants create more upper pole fullness, while anatomical implants provide a more sloped, natural appearance. Your surgeon will help guide you based on your chest anatomy and desired outcome.
Implant profile
Profiles refer to how far the implant projects from the chest. Low, moderate, and high-profile options are available to fine-tune your silhouette and create the most proportionate result for your frame.
Placement
Implants can be placed either above the muscle (subglandular) or partially beneath the muscle (submuscular). In MTF top surgery, submuscular placement is often recommended to ensure a smooth, natural transition from the chest wall, particularly in patients with less native breast tissue.
Your surgeon will also evaluate your skin elasticity, chest dimensions, and any prior hormone therapy to ensure optimal outcomes. Our goal is to create a result that not only looks natural but also feels affirming and aligned with your vision.
Customize your MTF top surgery benefits
Achieve a feminine chest contour
MTF top surgery creates a fuller, rounder breast shape that aligns with a traditionally feminine silhouette. Implants are chosen and placed to complement your frame while enhancing natural proportions.
Enhance clothing fit and body expression
Many patients find that their clothing fits more comfortably and aligns better with how they want to present themselves. Bras, swimwear, and form-fitting tops become more affirming and enjoyable to wear post-surgery.
Support gender affirmation and identity
For many transgender women, MTF top surgery is an essential part of their gender affirmation journey. The physical transformation can support emotional well-being and help strengthen the connection between how you feel and how you look.
Improve nipple-areola balance and placement
The procedure allows for refinement of nipple and areola position, especially in patients whose chest development from hormone therapy may be limited. This helps achieve a more natural and proportionate result.
Create long-lasting results with minimal maintenance
Once fully healed, results from MTF top surgery are long-lasting and require minimal upkeep. Implants used today are designed for durability, and most patients enjoy years of satisfaction with their results.
Boost confidence in social, intimate, and personal settings
Beyond aesthetics, top surgery can have a profound impact on daily confidence—whether in personal relationships, social environments, or simply how you move through the world.

Cirugía y proceso de recuperación
30 - 1 día antes de la intervención
Ahead of your MTF top surgery, you’ll complete a personalized consultation, medical clearance, pre-operative photos, and any required lab work. Our team will ensure you’re fully prepared and confident going into surgery, with instructions tailored to your specific surgical plan.
Día de la cirugía
The procedure typically takes 1.5 to 2.5 hours and is performed under general anesthesia. After surgery, you’ll be monitored in recovery before going home the same day with a post-surgical bra or compression garment in place. You’ll receive detailed post-op care instructions before discharge.
1 día postoperatorio
Rest is key during the first 24 hours. Expect some soreness, tightness, and swelling in the chest. Keep upper body movement limited, and continue wearing your surgical bra around the clock to support healing and minimize swelling.
1 semana postoperatoria
You’ll return for a follow-up appointment to check incision sites and overall healing. Most patients begin to feel more mobile and comfortable, though you should still avoid lifting, stretching, or raising your arms above shoulder level. Swelling and bruising are expected but usually start to improve.
1 mes postoperatorio
Swelling continues to subside, and breast shape begins to settle. Many patients can return to light, non-strenuous activities with clearance from their surgeon. You’ll likely continue wearing your surgical bra or switch to a supportive sports bra during this phase.
2 - 12 meses después de la operación
Most patients feel fully healed and cleared for more physical activity, including upper body movement and exercise. The breasts will continue to soften and settle into their final position. Scars begin to fade, and your results become more natural in both look and feel.
6 - 12 Months Post Op
This is when final results are typically visible. With proper care, incision lines will continue to fade. You’ll enjoy long-term results that align with your body, identity, and goals.

Excellent and top notch
Dr Rohan and the team at the South Florida Center were most professional, kind and friendly.
The service is excellent and top notch, they are willing to answer your questions and get to know your background and are most helpful in every way. Their commitment is exceptional and the results are the best, visible from day one. I experienced no pain and the day of surgery I spent the evening recovering watching tv and having a good chat, almost as if nothing had happened.

I would choose him over and over again
I had an amazing experience with Dr. Pinnella. He was so kind and easy to talk to. He chatted with me before surgery like I was a family member. Dr. Pinnella was very honest and knew exactly what was going to work for my body. He won’t do anything that he knows isn’t going to work for your body, nor will he do anything that he thinks won’t look good. This doctor definitely wants you to be happy with yourself after your procedure. I would choose him over and over again.

Frequently asked MTF top surgery questions
What is MTF top surgery?
MTF top surgery, also known as transfeminine breast augmentation, is a gender-affirming procedure that uses implants to create a more traditionally feminine chest appearance. It’s designed for transgender women and nonbinary individuals seeking a fuller breast contour that aligns with their gender identity.
Am I a good candidate for MTF top surgery?
Ideal candidates are generally in good health, have realistic expectations, and desire a more feminine chest appearance. Whether or not you’ve undergone hormone therapy, your surgeon will assess your anatomy, skin elasticity, and goals during your consultation.
Do I need to be on hormone therapy to get MTF top surgery?
Hormone therapy is not required, but patients who have been on estrogen for at least 12 months may experience more natural breast tissue development, which can enhance the final result. Your surgeon will discuss your options based on your current medical transition status.
What kind of implants are used for MTF top surgery?
We primarily use silicone implants for their natural feel and appearance. Implants come in various sizes, shapes (round or anatomical), and profiles to suit your desired outcome and body proportions.
How long does MTF top surgery take?
The procedure typically takes 1.5 to 2.5 hours and is performed under general anesthesia. You’ll return home the same day to begin recovery.
Where are the incisions placed for MTF top surgery?
The most common incision is made in the inframammary fold, beneath the breast. This placement allows for optimal control during implant placement and typically results in a well-concealed scar. In some cases, a periareolar incision may be considered.
Will I have visible scars after surgery?
All surgeries leave some scarring, but our surgeons take care to place incisions in discreet locations. With time, proper aftercare, and scar management, most scars fade significantly and become less noticeable.
What is the recovery like after MTF top surgery?
Initial recovery takes about 1 to 2 weeks, during which you’ll need to rest, avoid upper body movement, and wear a surgical bra. Most patients return to normal daily activities within 1–2 weeks, with full healing in 2–3 months.
When will I see the final results?
While you’ll see immediate changes after surgery, swelling and implant settling take time. Final results are typically visible around 3 to 6 months post-op.
Can I choose the size of my implants?
Yes, your surgeon will guide you through selecting the implant size that best fits your anatomy and desired aesthetic. We’ll work closely with you to find a look that feels affirming and natural for your body.
Will my nipples be repositioned during surgery?
In most MTF top surgeries, nipple-areola repositioning is not required, but this depends on your anatomy and the amount of breast tissue or skin present. Your surgeon will assess this during consultation.
¿Cuánto duran los implantes mamarios?
Breast implants are long-lasting but not considered lifetime devices. Most patients enjoy their results for 10–20 years, though some may choose to replace or revise them sooner based on preference or anatomical changes.
Can I combine MTF top surgery with other procedures?
Yes, some patients choose to combine this procedure with body contouring (like liposuction or waist sculpting) for more comprehensive results. Your surgical plan can be customized based on your goals and recovery preferences.
How much does MTF top surgery cost?
At the South Florida Center, MTF top surgery starts at $1,999 (excluding anesthesia and surgeon fees). Final cost will vary depending on your implant selection, surgical plan, and whether additional procedures are included. Financing options are available.
