Safe and personalized surgery to achieve a natural and permanent masculine chest.
Masculinization mastectomy with free areola grafting is the most commonly used technique in trans men seeking complete and harmonious chest masculinization. At the Clínica 3 de Mayo in Madrid, Dr. Jesús Lago, who has extensive experience in gender surgery, performs this procedure with natural, safe results tailored to each patient.
Mastectomy with free areola grafting involves removing excess mammary gland and skin to create a flat, masculine chest.
It is performed through an incision in the lower edge of the pectoralis major muscle, which allows the scar to be discreetly hidden.
Subsequently, vibramatic-assisted liposuction is performed, an advanced technique that allows the chest contour to be defined with precision. The goal is to achieve a conical-shaped chest, highlighting the natural relief of the pectoralis major and refining the lower part of the trunk, creating a strong and masculine appearance.
In the final step of the surgery, a free areola graft is performed.
This involves reducing the size and thickness of the original nipple and transplanting it to an anatomically masculine position, i.e., slightly lateral and oriented downward, where the pectoral muscle changes direction.
Because this is a graft, it is essential that the patient rest for several days to allow the tissue to vascularize properly in its new location.

The ideal candidates are trans men with moderate to large breast volume and skin with little retraction, who are looking for a flat and firm chest. It is also suitable for those who want a complete nipple replacement in a masculine position.
As this is a free graft, the sensitivity of the areola-nipple complex may be reduced or partially lost. However, this procedure offers the best aesthetic and anatomical option in cases with excess skin or glandular tissue.
Initial results are visible within the first few weeks, although the final appearance of the chest and the integration of the graft are usually fully appreciated after 3-6 months, when the swelling has completely subsided.
Generally, patients can resume light activities after 2 weeks.
Intense physical exercise or weight lifting should be avoided for at least 6 months to protect the graft and healing.
Yes. Once the areola-free graft mammoplasty has been performed and the recovery process is complete, the result is permanent, offering a masculine and proportionate chest.
