While traditionally associated with trans men, non-binary individuals may also seek Female to Male (FTM) Surgery to achieve a more gender-neutral or masculine appearance.

The FTM top surgery price varies significantly depending on several factors, including the specific type of surgery, the surgeon’s experience, the geographical location, and whether insurance covers part of the cost. It is also important to note that other expenses may be associated with the surgery, including pre-operative tests, post-operative care, and potential follow-up procedures. It is therefore advisable to thoroughly research and consider all these factors before making a decision.
