Binding can be an important part of someone’s everyday life before top surgery — and compression garments can play an equally important role afterwards.

But comfort and safety matter.

Wearing a binder for too long, choosing the wrong size or ignoring pain and breathing difficulties can put unnecessary stress on the body. After surgery, post-surgical garments have a different purpose: supporting healing, helping manage swelling and protecting the chest during recovery.

We’ve put together a new guide explaining the difference between the two, what safer binding looks like and what to expect from compression garments after top surgery.

Simple information, practical advice, and a reminder to always listen to your body.

Top surgery is not simply about creating a flatter chest: it is about planning the whole chest around the individual patient.

For this patient, a double-incision technique allowed us to focus on:

▪️ a flatter chest contour
▪️ ni**le-ar**la size and positioning
▪️ scar placement along the pectoral contour

The aim was a chest that felt balanced and proportionate to their anatomy and goals.

Every chest is different. The surgical plan should be too.

On 5 August 2026, the updated EHRC Code of Practice came into force following the Supreme Court’s 2025 ruling on the meaning of “sex” under the Equality Act 2010.

The Code provides guidance for organisations managing services and single-sex spaces, and some may now review their policies and access arrangements.

Trans people remain protected from discrimination, harassment and abuse under the Equality Act. If you are unsure about a policy or challenged when accessing a service, ask for a clear explanation, prioritise your safety and seek support if needed.

This weekend 150,000 people marched through central London. It was the world’s largest Trans Pride event ever. London Trans Pride 2026 made history!

It was great to join the march alongside an incredible community, allies, families and advocates, all united by the belief that everyone deserves to live authentically, safely and with dignity!

Because trans rights are human rights. 🏳️‍⚧️

On Monday we attended the Gender Affirming Health Forum organised by Facialteam.

What we’re really taking home from this day is the room: surgeons, psychologists, community organisations and, above all, so many people from the community, at every stage of their journey, asking questions directly to the experts.

We need more events like this: spaces where knowledge, lived experience and care can meet.

Thank you to for creating this important moment of connection.

Our patient underwent a double incision mastectomy with free ni**le graft. ✨
The patient opted for linear scars with enhancement of the muscle lines for a more masculine and defined contour.

✔️ Patient BMI 24
✔️ Full mastectomy subcutaneous (all breast tissue removed)
✔️ Symmetric linear scars over the contour of the muscle 💪🏻
✔️ Ni**le Graft with resize and repositioning of the ni**le and ar**la

Some words mean more than any photograph ever could.

Gender-affirming surgery is not simply about changing appearance. It's about helping people feel more comfortable, more confident and more connected to who they have always been.

Knowing that a patient can finally look in the mirror and feel at peace with their reflection is one of the most meaningful parts of this work.

Thank you, Ryan, for trusting us to be part of your journey. 🤍🏳️‍⚧️

One year after surgery, this patient is enjoying the result of a double incision mastectomy with free ni**le grafts and chest liposuction.

One of the most significant changes over the first year is scar maturation. As healing progresses, scars gradually soften, flatten and fade, helping the chest look increasingly natural.

The goal is not simply to remove breast tissue, but to create a chest contour that feels comfortable, proportionate and aligned with the patient's identity.

✨ 1 year post-operative result
✔️ BMI 28
✔️ Double incision technique
✔️ Free ni**le grafts
✔️ Chest liposuction
✔️ Scar maturation at 12 months

Gender-affirming care is about much more than surgery.

It starts with listening, creating a safe space, and ensuring every person feels seen, respected and supported throughout their journey.

Trust, empathy and understanding are at the heart of every step. 🤍🏳️‍⚧️
