MRI is a noninvasive medical test that utilizes magnetic fields to produce anatomical images of internal body parts to help physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions.

They are rigorously trained in the complicated head and neck area and have extensive experience in facial plastic surgery techniques.

Plastic Surgeons

In transfeminine top surgery, the surgeon enhances the size and shape of the breasts to create a more feminine appearance. Transmasculine top surgery removes the breast tissue (mastectomy) and creates a masculine appearance to the chest.
