Medical tattooing and microneedling are common parts of the surgical journey and are often a patient’s final step in achieving their desired results.

TATTOOS:
A ni**le and ar**la tattoo is common for top surgery patients whose ni**les have either been removed during surgery or for those who would like to alter the size, shape and color of their ni**le grafts. Tattooing can also be used to recolor phalloplasties, conceal scars and increase the appearance of hair density on the scalp.

MICRONEEDLING:
Microneedling is an inkless tattoo needle therapy that can help with scar discoloration and flattening; in the case of scar tattooing, microneedling can make the tissue better able to accept the ink. Below you can find a list of before and aftercare guidelines for these services.

If you are interested in making medical tattooing or microneedling a part of your surgical journey, we have a list of three expert, trans-friendly artists that have worked successfully with GCC patients in the past on our website. Check it out >> https://bit.ly/4uuSlvB

One of the most common and effective techniques is the double incision top surgery with free ni**le grafting.

Patients choose this procedure because it accommodates larger breast sizes, excess skin, and significant tissue ptosis. It allows surgeons to safely remove all excess breast tissue while giving patients customizable control over the chest contour, ar**la resizing, and ni**le placement.

“I always felt safe and respected by my surgeon and the staff. Using my name and pronouns, and making sure I was comfortable every step of the way. I knew they had my back.

Top surgery was a life-changing experience in the best way. I am so so so much more at home and at ease in my body and feel more comfortable in my clothes as well. No doubts and zero regrets, I truly believe it saved my life and I feel like I got a second chance to enjoy the life I’m living.”
