Real Sharing of Trans Men | How to Choose FTM Prosthetics? A Complete Record of Body Changes from Chest Surgery to Hormone Therapy
The day I started injecting hormones, the world seemed to slowly become clearer. This is not just a medical decision, but a commitment and practice of self-identity. In this episode of the Podcast, we invited Li Zong, a user from the "Prosthetic Mr. Club" and also a transgender man, to share his experiences. From the first hormone injection to the choice of chest surgery and FTM prosthetics, he has personally experienced and felt each process. His sharing allows us to see again: the transformation of the body is not just about changing appearance, but also a milestone for every transgender person on the path to complete self.

Li's true transformation journey
The journey of being transgender does not have a standard answer that anyone can provide directly, but we can walk through those key choices together.
In this podcast interview, Enherya's chest surgery consultant "Mao Mao" hosts a conversation with Li about the complete process from "hormone therapy" to "chest surgery" and then to "prosthetic selection." This is an in-depth dialogue that spans body, mind, and community connections.
Why choose this FTM prosthetic brand?
Many people think that choosing a prosthetic is just about "selecting a size," but in reality, it involves many details:
Is the material's softness and hardness realistic?
What kind of lifestyle is the wearing method suitable for?
Is it 'everyday type' or 'sex type'?
Will the weight cause inconvenience?
Can it be worn steadily in daily life?
As a deep user of the Prosthetic Mr. Club, Li emphasized: "You only know the difference after using it." He also mentioned that many people buy the wrong one or use it incorrectly in the beginning, and ultimately have to give up. This time, he specifically analyzed the differences between various prosthetics and key points for selection from the user's perspective, which is very practical.
After starting hormone therapy, life began to change.
"Voice change" is the first change felt, but not the only one.
Li shared that after starting hormone therapy, although his muscle definition gradually became more apparent, his voice deepened, and hair growth increased, the most significant change he felt was a psychological sense of reassurance—every day looking in the mirror, he increasingly resembled the image of himself he had envisioned.
He also candidly admitted that the process of having a flat chest was not without challenges, including emotional fluctuations, anxiety about the future, and pressure from family. However, through constant adjustments to his dosage, communication with peers, and support from the medical team, this path gradually stabilized. He said, "This is not just about transformation; it's about growing into oneself again."
Concerns before chest surgery, relief after surgery
From "binding the chest" to "true flatness" is a kind of freedom that many trans men cannot describe in words.
Li also shared his struggles and expectations before the surgery in the program, including concerns about chest scars, fear of family opposition, and anxiety about anesthesia and postoperative pain. These emotions were gradually addressed and soothed after he consulted with Enherya's chest consultant, Mao Mao.
When he saw himself in the mirror for the first time after the surgery, he said, "I never thought that one day, I could breathe so freely."

Common Questions About Chest Surgery Explained
Q: Who is suitable for chest surgery?
This surgery hasirreversibilityNo longer having breasts and not being able to breastfeed. Therefore, it is recommended to proceed when psychological stability and clear identity recognition are present. For some transgender, non-binary, and lesbian groups, this is a choice rather than a necessity.
Q: Will the sensation in the nipples disappear?
A small number of people may experience temporary numbness after surgery, but most can recover within a few months. If chest surgery involves nipple repositioning (such as a horizontal incision), the risk of insensitivity is slightly higher.
Q: Will I not get breast cancer after the surgery?
Not completely accurate. Although the probability is significantly reduced after breast tissue removal, it is not 100%. It is still recommended to keep the habit of preserving tissue for testing, as early detection of abnormalities is the most reassuring.
Q: Will the scars be very noticeable?
If you choose the incision around the areola, the scar is more concealed; however, if the breast volume is large, a straight incision is required, resulting in a longer scar for flat chests. Post-surgery, it is recommended to use beauty tape and scar removal products, which can effectively reduce the appearance of scars.
Q: Do I need to wear shapewear?
It is necessary and very important. Wearing it for the first 24 hours can reduce swelling, bleeding, and shaping, and adjustments can be made according to medical advice after about 1 to 2 months.
Q: How long before I can exercise?
Simple activities such as walking slowly and cycling can be started about 3 weeks after surgery. Intense exercises such as weight training and swimming are recommended to be avoided for at least 1 to 1.5 months post-surgery to prevent hematomas and edema.
Q: How long is the recovery period after chest surgery?
General administrative work can return to work in 3 to 5 days; for physical labor, it is recommended to rest for 1 to 2 weeks. If post-operative prosthetics or other treatments are involved, rest time should be arranged according to the doctor's instructions.
chest surgery為什麼我們選用「low-temperature plasma knives」？
Enherya introduced the "low-temperature plasma knife" in chest surgery because it brings several obvious advantages:
| Features | 說明 |
|---|---|
| Low temperature (40-70°C) | Reduce thermal burns and scar formation |
| small wound | Reduce postoperative pain and recovery period |
| Almost no scarring. | Not easy to infect, quick healing |
| Built-in smoke function | Reduce the odor in the operating room and PM2.5, protect medical staff and patients. |
Especially suitable for areas with high scar requirements such as the chest and face, it is currently a new trend in high-end medical aesthetics and plastic surgery.
Li's words: About body, identity, and choices
"I am very happy to choose to have surgery here, not just to become beautiful, but to become the person I have always wanted to be." - Li
At the end of this podcast episode, Li particularly encourages everyone who is hesitating not to rush into a decision and not to rush to deny themselves.
"The changes in the body are just one aspect; being able to live freely, wear the clothes I like, and interact naturally with the people around me is the greatest reward of this journey."
