Top Surgery – Bilateral Mastectomies with Free Nipple Grafts
Dr Steve Merten performs gender-affirming top surgery, including bilateral mastectomies with free nipple grafts.
This procedure involves removing breast tissue and, where appropriate, repositioning the nipples using free nipple grafts. The surgical approach, incision placement and suitability of nipple grafts depend on each patient`s individual anatomy and surgical goals.
Consultation provides an opportunity to discuss the procedure, expected recovery, scar placement, nipple graft healing and potential risks.
At Pure Aesthetics, we aim to provide individualised care and ensure patients have the information they need to make informed decisions about their surgery.
The outcomes shown are only relevant for this patient and do not necessarily reflect the results other patients may experience, as results may vary due to many factors including the individual’s genetics, diet and exercise.
All surgery carries risks and requires a recovery period and post-operative care regime including wearing of surgical garments.
More information is available from the relevant procedure page on our website.
You should seek a second opinion from a Specialist Plastic Surgeon before proceeding.

Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes the nose to address its size, shape, proportions, or function. The procedure may involve different areas of the nasal structure, depending on each individual`s anatomy and surgical requirements.
At Pure Aesthetics Sydney, rhinoplasty is priced between $19,000 and $26,000 out-of-pocket, depending on the scope of surgery and whether functional concerns are also being addressed.
Factors that may influence the cost include:
• The complexity and scope of the procedure
• Whether functional concerns, such as breathing difficulties, are being addressed
• The specific nasal structures requiring surgical attention
• The individual surgical plan and clinical requirements
Rhinoplasty may involve the:
• Nasal bridge
• Nasal tip
• Nostrils
• Underlying nasal structure
• Septum, including in cases involving a deviated septum or breathing obstruction
Understanding what is involved in the procedure and what contributes to the overall cost can help patients prepare for a detailed consultation and ask informed questions.

Gender-affirming surgery includes a range of procedures that may help align physical anatomy with a person`s gender identity.
At Pure Aesthetics Sydney, surgical services include:
• Gender-affirming chest surgery
• Facial gender-affirming procedures
Treatment recommendations are individualised based on anatomy, medical considerations and the patient`s circumstances.
The pathway to surgery can vary between individuals. Hormone therapy or social transition may form part of some people`s healthcare journey, but there is no single pathway that applies to everyone.
