For those undergoing MTF breast augmentation, consistent and structured follow-up care is crucial.
This procedure is an important step in gender affirmation, and maintaining long-term health and implant integrity requires ongoing support from your surgical team.
Why?
MTF breast surgery isn`t just about the procedure itself, it`s also about ensuring the ongoing health of the implants and surrounding tissues. Long-term monitoring helps to detect any potential issues early, ensuring that healing progresses smoothly and implants remain in good condition.
To support long-term health and ensure the best possible outcomes, consider these key practices:
◽ Attend regular check-ups - These visits allow for early detection of any changes, ensuring prompt care.
◽ Stay alert to changes - If you notice any differences in breast shape, firmness, or sensation, it’s important to discuss these with your surgeon.
◽ Maintain a healthy lifestyle - A stable body weight and overall health play a role in keeping your breast augmentation results consistent.
◽ Keep your medical team informed - Changes in medications or hormone therapy should be communicated as they can impact breast tissue or healing.
By integrating these practices with regular professional follow-up, you help ensure that your results stay as healthy and stable as possible over time.

Bilateral Mastectomies with No Nipple Grafts by Dr Steve Merten
For some people undergoing gender-affirming top surgery, a bilateral subcutaneous mastectomy may be performed without nipple grafts. Whether this approach is appropriate depends on your individual anatomy, treatment goals, and clinical assessment.
During your consultation, Dr Steve Merten will discuss the surgical techniques that may be suitable for your circumstances, including incision options, the decision to preserve, reposition, or not reconstruct the nipples where appropriate, recovery, expected scars, and the potential benefits and risks of surgery.
At Pure Aesthetics, we are committed to providing respectful, inclusive, and evidence-based care, supporting patients to make informed decisions about their treatment.

Menopause is a stage of change, and for many women, the breasts are no exception. Changes in tissue density, fat distribution, and skin elasticity may make you wonder if now is the right time for a breast reduction.
While there’s no one-size-fits-all answer, menopause can present a unique window to discuss breast reduction with a qualified surgeon. Many women at this stage experience:
◽ Changes in breast size, weight, and shape
◽ Reduced skin elasticity
◽ Increased neck, shoulder, or back discomfort
◽ Difficulty finding supportive, comfortable clothing
Breast reduction during or after menopause may offer relief from the above, but it’s important to understand the risks, recovery process, and potential outcomes.
