FTM Top Surgery Seattle
Dr. Won received training in Top Surgery from Dr. Tony Mangubat, a 20+ year veteran of gender surgery. In 2020, they co-authored a study on the healing process of nipple grafts in Double Incision Top Surgery.
Dr. Won uses two primary surgical methods for chest reconstruction: Double Incision Top Surgery and Keyhole Top Surgery. Approximate cost: $8500-$9500.Dr. Won also performs Body Masculinization Surgery, a procedure that minimizes feminine-looking curves by using liposuction to remove fat that hasn't been reduced through exercise or hormone therapy. The goal of BMS is to broaden the appearance of the chest and shoulders while slimming the waist, to create contours that contribute to the classical male physique. The areas commonly treated to achieve this are the chest and back, abdomen, flanks, hips, buttocks and thighs. Multiple areas can be treated in one surgery. Cost varies by the number of areas being treated and the amount of liposuction used.
[Dr. Won] and all the staff I interacted with at Eviva were kind, respectful and super helpful! Surgery went perfect and I’ve never felt better. She has honestly changed my life. Would highly recommend.
