Pioneering Top Surgery Techniques
Dr. Steinwald has performed hundreds of FTM Top Surgeries since 2002. The Inverted-T Top Surgery method he has developed is a variation of the “tried-and-true” Inferior Pedicle/Wise-Pattern approach to breast reduction. This method is designed to keep the nipple attached to its natural blood/nerve supply, and therefore preserve nipple-areolar complex viability and sensation as best possible. 90+% of patients retain a high degree of sensitivity that is superior to free nipple grafts. Patients from around the world have come to Dr. Steinwald to have this specific procedure done.
