What is chest binding?
Chest binding is used to give the appearance of a flat chest by compressing chest tissue with constrictive materials, such as a tight top called a ‘binder’.
Binding is for anyone, but it can be particularly useful for trans, non-binary, and gender diverse folk who do not want their chest to look feminine and who may want to have a more androgynous or masculine gender expression.
To help facilitate care, we have provided examples of surgical referral templates filled with the necessary information to cover throughout your appointment.
These examples are meant to empower your patient’s decision with surgery and improve your knowledge and support of their transition.
Without questions, there is no learning.
As we are always looking to grow our resources, we encourage you to submit your questions on our feedback page. We will feature commonly asked questions in this space, along with use common themes to determine future projects.
