What are the Types of Chest Surgeries?

1. Mastectomy: Often performed for transgender men, this involves the removal of breast tissue to create a more masculine chest appearance. It can also be performed as a prophylactic measure for patients at high risk of breast cancer.
2. Breast Augmentation: For transgender women, this involves the placement of implants to create a more feminine chest.
3. Thoracotomy: This is an invasive procedure often used to remove metastatic tumors from the lungs.
4. Minimally Invasive Surgeries: Techniques like Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) are used for less invasive removal of lesions.
