As male-to-female top surgery is performed under general anaesthetic, you will be asleep for the duration of surgery. After you wake up, you may experience some soreness and tenderness around the chest, though Dr. Tillo will provide you with any necessary pain relief to manage your discomfort as your body heals.
In general, most patients find that the discomfort from MTF top surgery gradually dissipates within 1-2 weeks, after which you should feel comfortable enough to return to office work and light, daily activities.
