Breast 4 TOP

At Evita Clinic, gender-affirming chest surgery is approached as a specialized medical discipline that integrates reconstructive principles with aesthetic refinement. Each procedure is guided by a careful understanding of chest anatomy, balance, and individual variation, with the goal of supporting both physical comfort and personal identity.

Dr. Francis Jeon, Executive Director of Thoracic & Cardiovascular Surgery, brings extensive experience in chest wall surgery developed through years of treating complex conditions involving the heart, lungs, and thoracic structures at a leading university hospital. This background provides a deep understanding of chest anatomy, symmetry, and functional harmony, which forms the foundation for individualized FTM and MTF top surgery.

Since founding Evita Clinic in 2009, Dr. Jeon has focused exclusively on chest-centered body contouring procedures, including gynecomastia surgery, breast surgery, and advanced body contouring. This long-standing specialization has informed a refined approach to gender-affirming chest surgery, emphasizing thoughtful surgical planning, minimized scarring, and natural chest contours, while respecting each patient’s gender identity and long-term well-being.

For FTM top surgery, the surgical objective is to create a flatter chest contour that aligns with the individual’s sense of masculinity, while maintaining smooth lines and carefully placed incisions. For MTF top surgery, the focus is on chest feminization through proportionate, natural-looking breast contours that harmonize with the patient’s body frame. In all cases, each surgical plan is individually tailored to reflect the patient’s anatomy, goals, and lived experience.

Today, patients from around the world choose Evita Clinic for gender-affirming chest surgery, seeking care that is medically grounded, thoughtfully individualized, and supportive of long-term comfort, confidence, and quality of life.

Top surgery is a surgical procedure, and its complexity and recovery process vary depending on the surgical method and the individual’s condition. Because top surgery is highly personalized, factors such as surgical technique, operative time, and recovery experience may differ from person to person.
Scarring depends on the surgical approach and individual healing characteristics. Surgeons carefully plan incision placement and techniques to minimize visible scarring, and scars typically mature and soften over time with proper postoperative care.
