Double incision top surgery is a surgical technique to flatten and masculinise the chest by removing excess skin and glandular tissue from the area. This popular approach to top surgery is ideal for patients with medium to large chests, and requires two horizontal incisions along the lower border of the pectoral muscles.This procedure, also known as the bilateral mastectomy, is performed here in London.

From Dysphoria to Confidence: Why Double Incision Changes Lives
Double incision top surgery is the most popular surgical approach to toning and flattening the chest for a more masculine appearance. The procedure has several notable benefits for patients:
Ideal for Medium to Larger Chest Sizes
Double incision top surgery is able to remove both excess skin as well as glandular tissue. This makes it an ideal option for those with medium and larger chest sizes when compared to periareolar top surgery which is limited to removing smaller amounts of skin only.
Efficient Healing and Long-Term Satisfaction
At CREO, we have engineered the APEX recovery protocol to help you get back on your feet faster. Our APEX approach means that you will spend less time in hospital, can resume daily tasks faster, and is opioid-free.
In addition, Dr. Tillo will make the incisions in a way that seamlessly blends any resultant scarring with the natural contours of the chest for a satisfying result.

Other Gender Affirming Procedures To Pair with Double Incision Top Surgery
Liposuction
Liposuction is a surgical procedure to break up and remove targeted pockets of fat, enhancing the contours of the area. Double incision top surgery is frequently combined with liposuction to remove fat deposits from the chest, adding definition to the pectoral muscle for a more masculine appearance.
Pectoral Implants
Pectoral implants are medical-grade silicone implants that can be inserted into the chest to add definition to the pectoral muscles for a traditionally masculine contour. They are often used to enhance the shape of the chest or to improve symmetry. At CREO, Dr. Tillo is one of the few surgeons in the UK offering custom-made implants we offer custom pectoral implants that are designed with your body in mind, creating a more natural-looking finish.
