For many transgendered men, transgender breast implants represent an important step in establishing their feminine identities, and the decision to get transgender breast implants is not one that should be made lightly. Potential candidates need to consider  many of the same factors as women who opt for breast implants.

• Transgender breast implants can be expensive and are not usually covered by health insurance.  After receiving transgender breast implants there may be emotional or psychological side effects.  The recovery time after surgery for transgender breast implants may require that the patient miss work or other activities.  However, many individuals who get transgender breast implants feel that all of these risks are well worth the final result and for many, transgender breast implants give the patient a sense of physical and emotional completion.
