When I went in for my top surgery, I had to fill out a bunch of forms so that the government would cover the majority of the cost (Canada). As I was signing the forms, my surgeon said "if you were a woman coming in for a mastectomy, you wouldn't have to fill these out. But because you're a man coming in for gender affirmation surgery, the same thing technically, you do, and that's really shitty". It has never left me that he said "IF" I were a woman, not "used to be" or "trying not to be" or anything. We've come a long way.

Despite that (which I don't blame him for, that's how it was formulated by the OG source and it helps get the point across) I'm really glad he made this video in such an empathetic and respectful manner.

I remember when my friend Enzo got his top surgery (Female to Male). Before the surgery, he was very down, depressed and joked about ending it a lot. He was very quiet and shy and always wore thick/big clothes on top of chest binding no matter the weather. After the surgery, he showed us (his friends) his chest proudly. It was red, swollen, the drain was still in and all,but darn he was proud of his body! It was beautiful! He started wearing tshirts and tank tops and his personality truly bloomed. He became an energetic outgoing social butterfly. His depression subsided and he no longer talked about death and the end nearly as much! I'm grateful to be able to witness this transition and what it does to a person. At the time (2008-ish), I didn't see it as such a big deal. I mean... He's a man, so he should be able to look like it right? But I was sheltered and never knew there was so much hate and confusion surrounding transgender people. I'm happy these surgeries are more common nowadays and more people can finally have their body match the soul that resides in it! ❤️

@@sadiq7700wow. You clearly dislike transgender people! What is the difference between using plastic surgery to give your body the appearance of being the gender you feel you truly should be and having plastic surgery to change the appearance of a perfectly healthy nose or breasts? How is it ok for some people to use surgery to achieve a desired look, but not ok for others? Some people could use the argument that having a breast reduction is “mutilating” a healthy body. But I fail to see the harm in changing your appearance in order to look the way that makes you happy and feel comfortable in your body. Which actually relieves depression in people with body dysphoria. How can you say that it’s wrong to perform surgical procedures which eliminate someone’s hatred of their body’s appearance, a hatred which can often be SO deep that the person would prefer to end their life rather than going on living in a body they feel “trapped” in. Would you rather these people live in misery and often even unalive themselves bc they can no longer stand their misery? Just bc you and I may not feel trapped in a body of a gender that we don’t feel shows the gender we truly FEEL that we are, doesn’t mean that there aren’t many people who DO suffer from theee feelings. I fail to see the harm in a consenting adult who understands the ramifications and potential risks of having a gender affirming procedure done, and decides that this surgery is right for his/her/their body. That’s the great part of living in a country where people have the freedom to express themselves. You don’t have to like someone wanting to change his/her gender completely or just in appearance, but their sense of happiness and self-worth is more important than the opinion of a random stranger on the internet

Anthropologists will tell you our brains haven't evolved much since our conception as a species, and acceptance from our communities was key to survival. And in some ways, it still very much is. It's why suicide rates are so high amongst transgender and nonbinary people; because there is a good portion of them who don't grow up being accepted by their friends or their families. So they try to make up for that hole in themselves by validation elsewhere. As I said before, if you are cisgender you can't understand what it's like to not be. And that's not a slight at you, it's the truth. Just like white people don't understand what it's like to be black. But you can still attempt to empathize, or understand, instead of assuming transgender and nonbinary people are self centered martyrs with victim and god complexes. There is psychology behind peoples actions; try to think a little more and dig deeper instead of assuming and frankly, berating a group of people.

It just felt logical, and that I wouldn’t have to rationalize or think about having foreign object in my chest.

Well not everybody is the same. I don't cry for almost anything. I actually have to try to cry when I need to, by listening or watching emotional media. Coz I can't seem to get emotional about anything that happens to me personally, I have to empathize with somebody else to feel emotion I guess.

Thank you for being so supportive! I had top surgery 3 years ago and it absolutely changed my life. I didn’t have that same initial reaction as the guy in the video but after it healed (and had a small revision) I was so happy. Best decision ever!

I am literally crying because of this video since an actual doctor is saying positive things about gender affirmation surgery. Because all I ever hear about it is that it's mutilation and wrong. So this whole video is making me relieved.

That's terrible because gender affirmative healthcare is the medical standard and satisfaction ratings from patients are overwhelmingly high. It has been proven decades ago to be well worth doing for a patient and to save lives and improve quality of life. The number of doctors who don't understand that is troubling, because it's something they should be well aware of.

Dr. Youn is absolutely correct when he said you don't have to be on HRT (testosterone) to get Top Surgery! May 20, 2022 I'll be my one year post-op double incision with Dr. Garramone. I haven't been on HRT and the results are amazing and even with being plus size, some minor complications (as all surgeries can have), the huge scar (due to the shape of my chest), and the long travelling. I don't regret any of it. It has improved my life drastically. I love my scar. I love my chest. I'm so much happier than I ever have been. It's always wonderful to see medical professionals talk about it. Especially in a educational and positive way.

Congrats! I hope the rest of your transition is going well ☺️

Thank you for doing this segment! I'm an older transgender man and didn't even accept that I was transgender until I was in my mid 50s. As with many, I contemplated suicide as early as 12. When I started elementary school, girls were REQUIRED to wear dresses or skirts. In my first year in school, I started gaining weight; by the time I was 10-11, I was extremely overweight due to depression. I've been on testosterone for 4 yrs and feel SO much better. That being said, I'm DESPERATE to have top surgery. I've hated my breasts for my entire life. Well done, Atticus, and congratulations!!

I had top surgery a year ago! I went with a really well-known gender affirmation surgeon and was able to get it without having to go on testosterone. Even though I got unlucky and had an incision infection that caused my right scar to spread open and heal much wider than the other side, I still wouldn't trade this surgery for anything. I am so much more comfortable in my own body.

Honestly the scars look worse when early done, and after a few months they look way better, so it could be thise pics were taken soon after the surgery

I wasn't on testosterone for my top surgery! I'm also more masculine than male. I identify as agender, i.e. neither binary gender fits me. They feel more like costumes that I can take on and off depending on my mood. I took T for two years and just recently came off it. The only thing that hasn't changed back so far is my voice (which is primarily what I wanted the T for, aside from just trying to fight off my natural femininity). Also, since I was terrified of being one of those people whose nipples rot and fall off because they don't reattach properly, I just straight-up didn't bother tryna keep em. I never got much use out of em lol. My doctor was amazing. For Canadians transes, she used to live and work out of Peterborough, Ontario, but she now lives somewhere in British Columbia. Her name is Jennifer Klok, and she is a freaking angel. The 🇨🇦 government doesn't _technically_ cover the cost of reshaping, only the mastectomy itself (which honestly just seems like the government being petty, which wouldn't be out of the usual for them). Yet I woke up from surgery with a perfectly flat chest and two even, reasonably-sized scars. A year and a half of rubbing Bio-Oil on them and they were about as healed as they were ever gonna be, which was really, really well (which is a miracle given I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome AND mild keloids). Bottom Line: highly recommend Dr. Klok to anyone looking to get this sort of thing done. I love the name Atticus. I'm so glad he's happy. And I'm happy you're happy for him! The giggle when you said, "Now... He might be a little high..." lol I really haven't gotten "anesthetic high" to the level of being emotional and adhd (moreso than usual, anyway) since I was a child. Maybe it's all the other medications (including medical Marijuana, which you have to tell your anesthetist about AHEAD of time, EVERY time so they can adjust for it) that have made me resistant to the more uh..... severe?... side-effects of anesthesia. Either way, seeing more trans men, trans mascs, and nonbinary people in media means a lot to me, so thank you for choosing to do an episode relating to trans healthcare where the comment section isn't filled with a bunch of basted tradcons.

Well, I'm a trans dude, and I have been part of lots of support groups, se need to stay close to people that understand us, and I made a habit of asking the same question in all those groups "if every cis person dissapeared for a day, you know they are fine, and nothing bad will happen, what would you do?" And almost all of the answered with things like "I would go to the pool/beach and swim for the first time in years" or "I would wear the clothes that I like" all simple things that people take for granted, and that lots of people fear to do because they don't want to be judged

If you can afford to rent a hospital bed for that initial month or so of recovery, I highly recommend it. It's a good height more off of the floor than most standard beds, and they can be angled however you want, so with the right amount of pillows and well-executed positioning, you'll be able to get in and out of bed while _barely_ using any of your chest muscles or nearby muscle groups that could potentially cause chest pain.

As a trans male myself who got top surgery last year, I would love to see Youn’s perspective regarding mastectomies on larger-chested individuals. I was a DD/E prior to surgery, and due to complications I didn’t get to have the excess fat from my chest be used to give the muscle mass I’d prefer, so my chest feels just a hair concave. I don’t know if that’s because my ribs themselves are abnormal or my pecs were just tarnished from how much my chest was bound, but it’s something of note. Even with those complications aside though I would’ve have it any other way. I’m beyond thankful for the surgeons who helped me take a control of my life. Due keep in mind, though, that one surgery is not the be-all-end-all for every trans person. Some of us continue to get procedures mainly for the euphoria and feeling like we can physically live as ourselves, some of us even content with just HRT and one surgery, either, or nothing at all, while others (such as myself) contemplate more surgeries due to continued harassment due to not passing in the eyes of a number of bigoted people or even struggling with things such as body dysmorphia - such surgeries ranging from liposuction to gastric bypass. It’s a complicated situation for every individual to figure out, and every individual is valid to feel how they feel and go about how they see fit to feel like they can be themselves. That all being said, thank you so much for your kind words to Atticus, Doctor Youn. Your kindness and affirmation is something I wish I had in my teens, but I’m beyond grateful for the LGBTQIA+ youth who can see this video from you and feel seen, validated, and respected.

Wow Atticus' reaction after seeing his chest finally be the way he wants, made me cry omg. Im so happy that he got his happy ending and its so sweet to see dr. youn be so open and accepting of it

Dr Youn is so informative here and supportive, as a trans Asian person it means a lot cause our community isn't always this understanding/actively supportive . I look forward to getting my own surgery one day and meeting a surgeon this good

My wife (who is non-binary) had a "ftm" top surgery this summer. They're not on testosterone. It was an interesting experience.

If they aren't happy with the scar, after the scar is healed it can either be surgically reduced (basically recut, in local anesthesia - I did a lot of scar revisions for free during training and lemme tell You - it's much easier to get 2mm thin line scar when the tissue is not under tension and you aren't suturing deeper tissue along with it!) or treated with fractional laser - the best kind for scars is the one that is either "punching small holes" or ablating top layer of tissue. Some patients find success with dermarolling/dermapens but personally I feel there's a big risk of contamination and the procedure can be painful. Taking good care of surrounding skin with quite heavy,thick, occlusive creams can slightly help the scar's appearance and the colour can be covered (basically - repigmented) with medical tattoo. I hope they'll grow to be happy with the scar too ❤

I had top surgery done 2? Years in December. Best decision of my life!! Had I known of you back then I would have tried to travel the one province over to see you for it!!

The stuff that surgeons that help people transition do never ceases to amaze me! The amount of work and detail is truly incredible! Especially when the result is so good that you could possibly never even tell if the person was born a different gender they don't identify with in the first place!

My life a yr later is filled with so much joy now everyday whereas I used to be so depressed. I never knew what true happiness was till after the surgery. Top surgery saved my life.

When he said ' this is gonna be a breathtaking moment ' I thought he said ' this is gonna be a breast taking moment ' and I was like you're damn right

I have several trans friends. I have friends that have done the top surgery. It’s very impactful in their mental health in a positive way. To the trans people out there that don’t have the right support, please reach out to someone. There are plenty of people that care about you. Your life is valuable.

There are also studies that show depression n mental health issues persist in trans ppl even after surgery n even more so in ppl who do bottom surgery bcuz of all the complications and no one is talking about that except a handful of ppl. But I'm super happy for Atticus, what a beautiful person.

More like a "breast-taking" experience am I right. No, seriously this is good.

I'm so glad to see you, and other doctors, covering topics like this. Personally the idea of tip surgery has always made me nervous but i want ti desperately and it's good to see more of these successful operations and have them talked about in a professional manner and everything. I cannot wait for this day to come for myself.

Top surgery was the best decision I made for myself. I’m a bit over a year post op and it was just life changing. It helped with both my dysphoria and body dysmorphia. Though I’m scared to have the sun on my chest because it’s bad for the scars I was told.

I started T in 2012, had my name/gender marker changed on my SSC/DL/Birth Certificate 2014, had my top surgery in 2016, and my full hysterectomy in 2020. Sometimes I forget I ever felt discomfort and dysphoria, as I'm so much happier now. I appreciate you bringing awareness to trans* related procedures, and how important they are for the mental well-being of those individuals. I came out in 2010 and my entire family disowned me. It's been over 10 years, and they still haven't reached out. I attempted suicide multiple times and fell hard into substance abuse. I've been sober since 2014, and ever since I've had all my procedures, I've been much happier and felt whole.

I’m glad things have worked out for you in the long term. So proud of you!

Less than a year out for my first consult for top surgery and watching this. This is fantastic to watch. My surgery was, recently, moved up about five months since we got a new surgeon at the clinic in my area that does gender affirmation surgeries, and I'm looking forward to getting to meet them.

I feel so happy for him! I'm FTM myself and I can't wait to get rid of these things.

Another trans guy here, I’m 22, I have been on testosterone since 2017, and started my transition back in 2015. I had this procedure done back in October of 2020, except I was fortunate enough to have a small chest so I had the keyhole surgery. And even though there wasn’t really any weight on my chest/shoulders(besides the binder shirt that I wore to flatten my chest), the amount of weight lifted off of me, was astronomical. I no longer had to worry about not being able to breathe from the binder, or it showing either through my shirt or the collar of my shirt not covering it because the ones I had looked like bras really. I can say that for it being my first surgery, it was gross and like not something I could’ve done on my own at all. I’m fortunate to have a supportive family and partner, who helped me with all the things that I could and couldn’t do post surgery(which, in my case was a lot because I’m a b*tch hah). Seriously though, it was absolutely the right decision and I don’t have any ounce of regret at all. Being able to just throw on a shirt, a single shirt, or be able to go swimming or to the beach shirtless, is so refreshing.

Great job using the correct terms and pronouns! I’d love it if you’d cover more of these!

I was a little nervous to click on this video, but it was a welcome relief. I had top surgery six years ago at 19, and it totally transformed my life. I’d had such a grim, numb, estranged relationship with my body before surgery, and then suddenly my body was mine.

I'm literally in tears

Dr Youn yet again making me feel like a welcome part of his audience! Much like most of the doctors I've seen in real life, Dr Youn has all the terminology correct and understands trans healthcare within his field. I'm glad for that. Surgical options for gender affirmation are becoming safer and safer as the medical field learns more about trans bodies. Trans siblings, always research potential doctors (whether for therapy, hormones, sexual health, or surgery) to make sure they have a positive history with trans patients and specialise in their healthcare. Like Dr Youn said, we don't want someone who only knows the basics because our healthcare often differs from cisgender people in many ways.

To any trans men here in the comments: you are beautiful and strong and so very worthy of all the love and joy and happiness in the whole world. You deserve so much more than what the world has given you. You are valid. Your feelings are valid. Your gender is valid and so is your sexuality. You are a beautiful dynamic and complex person. I know as a cis woman I will never really understand what you go through every day and what it's like to be trans, but I promise I'll stand with you against anyone that wishes you harm, including those in the government. It's sickening how trans people are treated and any time someone else sees it happening it's our job to speak up in the moment just like you'd speak up against the abuse of anyone else.

Thank you very much kind stranger -a trans man

I have a trans son that can’t wait to have top surgery! Thank you for this video! It was very informative!

It is SO heartwarming to see the comment section. Not a single negative (or even neutral) comment. 100% positivity. It's enough to make a person cry. Thank you world

Thank you for sharing his experience and explain this surgery (loved the definition pop ups!). This is actually probably one of the most common surgeries among people I know so it’s cool to see you break it down.
