Your Collagen Super Boost— A 4-Part Harmony

Our unique Collagen Super Boost combines three of the most advanced non-surgical treatments available on the market today.

Each of these treatments supports and amplifies the next, creating a cohesive and collagen-rich transformation that leaves skin visibly firmer, brighter, and more elastic:

  • Step 1: Hydrafacial provides a deep hydrating and exfoliating cleanse that primes the skin, clears debris, and enhances the absorption of the treatments that follow.

  • Step 2: Fotona 2D delivers skin tightening and targeted rejuvenation by gently heating the deeper layers and using focussed bursts of energy —stimulating collagen, improving texture, and enhancing overall tone.

  • Step 3: Injectable polynucleotides boost cellular regeneration, enhancing the production of collagen and elastin even further.

  • Step 4: LED Light therapy is used to reduce inflammation and stimulate further collagen production.

These treatments work in harmony to provide a Collagen Super Boost — delivering total skin rejuvenation without downtime.

Doctor-Led, Patient-First Care

Top surgery, also known as chest masculinisation surgery, is a gender-affirming procedure designed to create a flatter, more masculine chest. This may involve the removal of glandular tissue, excess skin, and fat, tailored to your individual anatomy and goals.

At CREO GENDER, we believe every patient is on their own unique journey to becoming their true self. That’s why we always begin with a comprehensive one-on-one consultation to understand your priorities and build a plan that’s right for you.

Led by Dr Omar Tillo, Consultant Plastic Surgeon and Clinical Director, our team combines unrivaled surgical expertise with inclusive, affirming care. Every detail of your experience is handled with precision, discretion, and dignity.

A flatter chest. A fuller sense of ease.

Top surgery is a deeply personal decision, and for many, it’s also a meaningful step toward feeling more aligned in their body.

You may experience benefits like:

  • A flatter, more masculine chest contour

  • Freedom from binding and related discomfort

  • Reduced chest-related dysphoria

  • Greater comfort and confidence in daily life

The aim of chest masculinisation is not simply aesthetic change, but improving your quality of life, whether that means feeling more at ease in clothing, moving through the world with less self-consciousness, or simply being more comfortable.

Procedure Snapshot

We’re proud to partner with Affirm, a UK initiative focused on improving how healthcare professionals understand and support gender-diverse patients. CREO contributes to setting better standards for our clinic and across the broader system.

This is care designed to meet you where you are, without assumptions or judgement. Every step of the process is confidential, considered, and tailored to you.

Tailored to your body. Chosen with care.

Top surgery techniques are chosen based on your anatomy, goals, and clinical suitability. Dr. Tillo will guide you through the best option for your individual chest structure, skin elasticity, and desired outcome.

Options include:

  • Double Incision Top Surgery – Often recommended for patients with larger chests or reduced skin elasticity. Involves removal of tissue and skin with the repositioning of the nipples.

  • Periareolar Top Surgery – Suitable for those with moderate chest size and skin elasticity. Involves a circular incision around the areola.

  • Keyhole Top Surgery – A minimally invasive option for patients with a smaller chest size and good skin elasticity. Uses a small incision at the base of the areola.

Liposuction can also be used as an adjunct to refine the chest contour in certain cases.

Advanced recovery. Designed around you.

CREO GENDER’s Apex Recovery Protocol supports healing through every stage of care:

  • Pre-operative preparation to optimise safety and readiness

  • A modern anaesthetic approach to reduce side effects

  • Personalised post-operative care to guide your recovery safely

From the moment you begin, through surgery and beyond, we focus on clarity, comfort, and continuity. Every recovery path is different, but your care plan will be tailored to support your return to daily life with confidence.

Carefully selected. Respectfully guided.

Top surgery may be appropriate if you:

  • Have a diagnosis of gender incongruence

  • Are over the age of 18

  • Are in good physical and mental health

  • Have a stable, healthy weight

  • Have realistic expectations for surgical outcomes

Eligibility is determined through a confidential consultation. This includes a discussion of your goals, medical history, and current health status. Our goal is to ensure you feel informed, supported, and confident in your decision.

A change in chest. A step toward self.

Each result reflects an individual journey. Dr. Tillo uses advanced techniques to create natural, proportionate outcomes tailored to your body.

Results vary. Images shown are individual cases.

Additional before and after images are available to view during your in-clinic consultation.

Please note: the patient shown chose to have nipple removal as part of their procedure. This option is discussed during your consultation and is not required for top surgery.

Your Patient Journey at Creo Clinic

Initial Consultation with Dr. Tillo

We begin with a detailed consultation to understand your goals, review your health history, and examine your breast anatomy. Dr. Tillo will provide a tailored surgical plan and answer any questions.

Preparing for Surgery

We’ll guide you through key pre-operative steps, including optimising your BMI, pausing certain medications, and preparing your home for recovery.

Surgery Day

Areola reduction is performed under local anaesthesia in approximately one hour. Using precision incisions and layered stitching, Dr. Tillo reshapes the areola to your ideal proportions.

Aftercare and Recovery

Most patients return to work within 1–2 days and resume exercise in two weeks. Bruising and swelling typically subside within six weeks, with scars fading over time. Although not typically required, we include free of charge scar treatments as part of your aftercare for your peace of mind.

Final Results

You’ll see immediate changes once the dressings are removed, with final results developing over 6–12 weeks as swelling resolves and tissue heals.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does top surgery cost in the UK?

Costs vary depending on the surgical approach and complexity. Full pricing will be discussed during your consultation, with no pressure to commit.

What is recovery like?

Initial recovery typically takes two weeks, with most patients returning to non-strenuous work during that time. Full healing and chest settling continue over 6–12 weeks.

Do I need to pause hormone therapy?

Patients do not need to stop hormone treatment for the purposes of gender-affirming treatment before surgery. This will be reviewed individually during your assessment.

Is there a BMI limit?

There is no fixed cut-off, but weight and overall health are important considerations for surgical safety. Dr. Tillo will evaluate this as part of your consultation.

Does top surgery affect breast cancer risk?

While top surgery removes most breast tissue, it does not eliminate breast cancer risk. We’ll discuss this during your appointment so you’re fully informed.

My whole experience with Dr Tillo and his team has been totally amazing. His work and knowledge is second to none and I would never hesitate to ever go anywhere else. Dr Tillo and his team are very caring and considerate and cannot do enough for you to ensure you feel comfortable and at ease. Every appointment I have had has been carried out to the highest of standard and I cannot recommend Dr Tillo enough.

Couldn’t be happier with my results! From the beginning I received excellent service from Omar and his team, they were all very friendly and informative along every step of the way. There were no issues with the procedure itself and I’m ecstatic with the results. I feel a lot more confident now and would definitely recommend Omar to anyone looking to have a cosmetic procedure.

Amazing doctor, explains fully the procedure in consultation and throughout the process . He managed to give me a slight lift along with the areola...
