When a man gets breast implants on the road to getting the full reassignment surgery do they gradually fill the implants to give the chest skin time to stretch or will they just throw Ds in there on day one if that’s what she wants? Is the pain high if they go big on day one due to skin stretching?
no idea on that, but I do know that sometimes, with the help of hormones, a MtF will be able to grow a nice set of her own.
First, your thread title will probably prove confusing; a person who transitions male-to-female is referred to as a transsexual woman. A transsexual man is a person who transitions to male.
Also, remember that every trans person’s process is different; some people do not use hormones and surgery, others use hormones only, others obtain surgery of various different kinds.
Trans women who takes testosterone blockers and estrogen will generally grow breasts, just as cissexual (non-trans) girls do when they enter puberty and their estrogen levels increase. As I understand it, most trans women who do this will wait to see what kind of size they get through the hormones before deciding whether or not to get implants.
Here’s a site on breast implants for trans women: Transgender breast implants – Transgender Map
Well, if we’re going to be absolutely correct, don’t people insist you use trans man ortrans woman? That’s what everyone said on Wikipedia, at leas.
Cubsfan, why would you expect the issues for a trans woman getting implants to be any different than for a cis woman (its a new term for me, but I get the analogy) getting them?
Trans is a more general term that applies to more people with more different identities; transsexual is used chiefly by people who want to access various kinds of physical transition to the binary gender to which they weren’t assigned at birth.
However usage may vary from place to place. Some people in this position don’t like the word transsexual and perfer other words such as trans or transgender. Other people favour the word transsexual in order to make specific reference to their medical needs, as distinct from the priorities of other trans people. Here I’m using the vocabulary my trans friends most commonly use, but when talking with or about an individual, one should describe them with the labels they prefer.
A good friend of mine had her boobs done. She was flat chested to start with and had to keep going back for a few months to have the skin stretched until the final implants were put in. That was a few years ago so I don’t recall the details.
This is what I imagined. Thanks.
