Breast Augmentation
When I had my breast augmentation done there was very little pain. The surgeon made incisions on the bottom of my breasts just as shown in the video above and placed the implants under the muscle and then stitched me up. The extent of my pain was equivalent to cutting your self in an area that flexes easily (elbow joint area or knee joint, etc) and when you do it kind of stings if you move the wrong way. That is all the pain that I experienced. I was initially told my top surgery would hurt more than my bottom surgery, but that was not the case for me. I am also very sensitive to pain and I don't handle pain well at all, but my breast augmentation didn't hurt aside from the stinging when shifting positions or stretching my arms and moving them in the wrong direction, but it was not what I would call pain. Everyone will have a different experience with pain and how it affects them.
A patient can expect to spend between $5000-$6000 for the surgery and implants PLUS another $4000-$6000 on hospital fees and anesthesia.
Breast Mastectomy
This is the procedure for female to male transgender individuals. The procedure is done to remove the breast tissue so that a female to male transgender individual can have a flat normal chest as a genetic male would. Top surgery goes a long ways to relieving the emotional distress of having breasts.
The costs are similar to that of a breast augmentation surgery.
