Breast Augmentation for Trans Women
Breast augmentation typically involves the insertion of breast implants. This allows transgender women to feel more comfortable and confident in their bodies. It aligns their physical features with their gender identity. This procedure helps many trans women express their true selves.

Planning for Surgery (Before Breast Augmentation Surgery)
If you’re considering gender affirming breast augmentation surgery, schedule a consultation with Dr. Rodriguez to understand your options. She will discuss your goals and the type of implant and surgical technique that are right for you. A complete medical evaluation is necessary, so disclose the medications and supplements you're using. To improve your healing and reduce risks, quit smoking and cut back on alcohol. Get ready for your recovery period by organizing travel and home support. Our team will provide pre-operative instructions and help you prepare for successful surgery.
What to Expect During Breast Augmentation Recovery
During breast augmentation recovery, pain and discomfort are normal. Dr. Rodriguez will help you understand what to expect and can prescribe medication to help manage pain. Swelling and bruising may occur but will start to improve after a few weeks. Your range of arm motion may be limited initially, but this should gradually get better. You'll need to change dressings or bandages, and our team will guide you on this.
Plan for follow-up appointments with our team to monitor your healing progress. Avoid strenuous exercises for a few weeks, but you can gradually return to your regular activities. Also, the incision scars will fade over time, becoming less noticeable with proper scar care. Everyone's recovery is unique. We will provide guidance for a smooth and successful healing process.
