摘要

Transsexuality is a condition in which the person recognizes the innate need to be the opposite sex to which they were born as. The female-to-male transsexuals (FT) undergo a myriad of procedures in order to fulfil the above goals.FTs, compared to male-to-female transsexuals (MTs), are the ones who undergo the greater number of surgeries.1 The most common and foremost surgery is subcutaneous mastectomy. FTs define their masculinity by being able to expose their bare chest, without the stigma of having feminine breasts. There are many methods for this subcutaneous mastectomy and the aim is to create a small NAC that resembles a male chest characteristic.
