You may be a candidate for gender-affirming surgery if:

• You are transgender or non-binary and seeking physical alignment with your gender identity
  

• You are in good general health and able to safely undergo surgery
  

• You have realistic expectations and understand the recovery process
  

• You are ready to take the next step in your gender journey with support from your physician or care team
  

Consultations are essential for determining readiness, surgical planning, and understanding your full range of options. Some procedures may require a referral or confirmation of eligibility based on medical or psychological guidelines.

Contact your surgeon of choice to learn which procedures are offered in their practices,

Top surgery may include:

• Chest masculinization (subcutaneous mastectomy with or without nipple grafts or repositioning)

Your surgical plan will be customized to your goals, anatomy, and eligibility. Our team will walk you through every detail, including incision placement, scar care, and healing timelines.

At Meadowlark, surgical care doesn’t end in the operating room. Our Cosmetic Clinic offers post-operative support to help you heal more comfortably and confidently.

Scar care services may include:

• Medical-grade silicone scar therapies

• Most patients return to light daily activities within 10-14 days
  

• Gradual softening and contour improvement over 3–6 months
  

• Scar refinement continuing for 6–12 months or longer
  

• Supportive care and follow-up are available throughout your recovery to promote optimal results and emotional comfort.

Gender-affirming top surgery is a deeply personal and medically safe procedure when performed by experienced, board-certified surgeons in an accredited setting. Like all surgeries, it carries some potential risks and considerations, including:

• Changes in sensation — Temporary or permanent numbness in the chest or nipple area is common and varies by technique

• Scarring — All incisions leave scars; we offer comprehensive scar care to help minimize their appearance over time

• Asymmetry — Minor differences in shape, size, or nipple position may occur and are often natural post-surgery

• Delayed healing or infection — Rare, but may require additional wound care or medical support

• Need for revision — In some cases, a secondary procedure may be recommended to refine results

At Meadowlark, every patient may choose to receive a detailed pre-operative plan and follow-up care designed to reduce risk, support healing, and honour your goals.
