What is Top Surgery?
 

Top surgery is a gender-affirming surgical procedure designed to reshape the chest to align with a person's gender identity. The procedure typically falls into two categories:

  • Chest Feminization: This surgery involves the enhancement and reshaping of the chest to create a fuller and more traditionally feminine appearance.

  • Chest Masculinization: This procedure removes breast tissue to create a flatter, more masculine chest contour.

Dr. Hazen's expertise and understanding of these procedures make her one of the most trusted plastic surgeons in New York City for individuals seeking top surgery.
