Top Surgery in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Dr. Aneesh Gupta, MD, MPH is a quadruple board-certified cosmetic surgeon in Philadelphia who is pleased to provide gender-affirming care for his transgender and non-binary patients. Dr. Gupta completed cosmetic surgery fellowship training at the renowned Marvel Cosmetic Surgery in Nashville and is board-certified by the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery (ABCS).

Dr. Gupta is skilled with Top Surgery and mostly uses the Double Incision method with nipple grafts. This form of Top Surgery is the most commonly-used technique and is ideal for those who have a medium to large sized chest.

During the Double Incision procedure, two horizontal incisions are made at the top and bottom of the pectoral muscle and the breast tissue is removed. Liposuction may be used to shape a masculine chest contour. If nipple grafting is being performed, the nipple-areola complex is removed, re-sized and grafted on to the chest.

Double Incision Top Surgery is an outpatient surgery done under general anesthesia that lasts 3-4 hours. After surgery, most patients are left with two medical drains that collect excess blood and lymphatic fluid. These drains are left in for about a week.

Healing times vary, but many most patients find that they can return to desk jobs and light work after two weeks. There should be absolutely no heavy lifting, lifting arms over your head or weight training for 6-8 weeks.
