At AmayaClinic® we recognize that each patient is unique, so we offer procedures designed to suit your individual needs and desires. We are pioneers in gender affirming surgery in Colombia and the first clinic to perform mastectomies for masculinization (FTM Top Surgery).

For those who want their physical appearance to reflect their gender identity, we offer two surgical procedures with a personalized approach and permanent accompaniment.

Procedures We Perform on Gender Dysphoria Patients

Mastectomy (FTM Top Surgery)

Mastectomy or FTM Top Surgery (female-to-male) is a surgery designed to remove breast tissue and achieve a male pectoral. The following are the key aspects of the procedure:

Breast tissue removal

We perform a precise resection to create a masculine and square. looking pectoral. It is key not to remove too much, as it could alter the shape and volume of the pectoral.

Location of the scar

The scar is discreetly located in the lower pectoral fold, becoming discreet with time. It is essential to design it properly to avoid “dog-ears” (protruding edges) and to ensure its correct location in the groove.

Reconstruction of the nipple

Although it loses sensitivity, the nipple is reconstructed in a natural way to maintain a masculine appearance. It is important to place it in the lower and lateral part, which is the location that characterizes the male pectoral.

This procedure is highly requested by the male transgender community at our Institute, as we are one of the few gender surgery units in the country.

Long waiting lists in the U.S. have led many foreign patients to choose AmayaClinic to transform their breasts into a male pectoral.

Testimonial: Mastectomy for masculinization

Mastectomy is an important moment in our patients’ lives. We are committed to offer experience and dedication, taking care of every detail, from the shape of the new pectoral to the quality of the scar, to ensure your satisfaction and harmony with your body.

Abdominal Lipomarcation

This procedure combines advanced liposuction and body sculpting techniques to redefine the abdomen, providing a more masculine and athletic appearance, while highlighting muscle contours.

Some key points to keep in mind if you are considering this procedure:

Athletic results

The procedure provides an athletic appearance, accentuating masculine features and achieving a more defined figure.

Advanced technology

We employ state-of-the-art technology, such as Microair and Vaser, to ensure precise and aesthetically appealing results.

Skin requirements

This treatment is indicated for people with good skin quality and without flaccidity, as it is essential that the skin can retract properly.

Personalized approach

We focus on highlighting muscle contours to achieve a more defined and masculine appearance.

Before & After:

An informed patient is a confident patient.
Our patients ask: Can I have a mastectomy and lipomarcation at the same time

Frequently Asked Questions about this Surgery

Is the mastectomy reversible?

The results of this surgery are permanent, since the breast tissue does not grow back.
