Everything You Need to Know if You're Preparing for Top Surgery

_{//health-fitness.news-articles.net/content/2025/ .. to-know-if-you-re-preparing-for-top-surgery.html}
^{Published in Health and Fitness on Saturday, March 1st 2025 at 15:03 GMT by Cosmopolitan}

If you vape or smoke cigarettes or weed, you'll need to quit ahead of your top surgery. The American College of Surgeons recommends quitting smoking four to six weeks before any major surgery and staying smoke-free for at least four weeks post-op to lower your risk of complications, and most doctors require a similar timeline for top surgery.

The article from Cosmopolitan outlines a comprehensive checklist for individuals preparing for top surgery, which is often sought by transgender and non-binary people for gender affirmation. Key points include: understanding the surgery's purpose, which is to create a chest that aligns with one's gender identity; choosing a surgeon with experience in gender-affirming care; discussing all aspects of the procedure, including potential risks and outcomes; preparing for the financial aspect, as insurance coverage can be variable; arranging for time off work for recovery, which can take several weeks; setting up a support system for post-operative care; and engaging in pre-surgery physical and mental health preparations like quitting smoking, maintaining a healthy diet, and possibly undergoing therapy. The article emphasizes the importance of being well-informed, emotionally prepared, and having realistic expectations about the surgery's results and recovery process.
