Pioneering Top Surgery Techniques
Dr. Steinwald has performed hundreds of FTM Top Surgeries over the last 25 years. 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. Dr. Steinwald also performs the Buttonhole method of Top Surgery.
