At The London Transgender Clinic, male to female breast augmentation is part of the Mtf transition and a popular procedure. MtF transgender individuals may develop some breast tissue after hormone therapy, but the size may remain small. For larger breasts, a transgender individual needs breast augmentation surgery. In breast augmentation surgery, a breast implant is placed inside the breasts to not only increase the size of breasts but can also improve the shape of breasts.
The London Transgender Clinic is now offering the revolutionary B-Lite lightweight breast implants which are ⅓ lighter than standard implants.

What happens at the consultation?
You will meet your surgeon and one of our nurses who will ask you about your goals and concerns. A full medical history and examination will be done, before agreeing a plan for you and discussing the surgery and recovery and risks in detail.
Your surgeon will ask you to provide images of your chest following your remote consultation, allowing them to create 3D images incorporating various implant sizes that you are considering. This allows you to get a better idea of what can be achieved from the surgery. This is optional.
At your follow up appointment, prior to surgery, you can also take part in a virtual reality (VR) experience of your desired breast size. This is optional.
You may be required to undergo medical investigations such as blood tests, ECG or other, as medically advised by your surgeon.

Septo-Rhinoplasty and Breast Augmentation Surgery
After much researching I decided to have Breast Augmentation and Septo-Rhinoplasty with London Transgender Clinic and Weymouth Street Hospital. I found Mr Inglefield, Phyllis, Lynsey and all the staff extremely professional, friendly and helpful. They treated me with respect and always had time to answer any questions or queries that I had. Although I am at 6 weeks post op I am more than happy with the results so far with no visible scars on my nose and minimal scarring on my chest that will gradually fade. Thank you LTC 😀
