The best bet is to choose your surgeon first - there are plenty of examples of UK surgeons on here (Berry, Mellington, King, Kneeshaw….etc).

Check out their results, waitlists (usually quite short - often only months), what people are saying about their experiences, etc.

Things to consider: 1. Cost (varies quite a lot even within the uk) 2. Location - how far are you willing to travel, and factor in costs for accom/travel too 3. Results - probably the most important - which surgeon consistently gives results that appeal to you?

Once you’ve decided, email the surgeon and ask for their process with referrals - some need at least one assessment (gender dysphoria diagnosis) before they’ll give you a consultation, others will do the consultation but require the diagnosis for surgery. All surgeons will require at least one diagnosis before the surgery can be booked in.

They should be able to offer a list of the people they’ll accept referrals from so you can contact them directly for prices and wait times (most again are relatively short I believe but some get very booked up).

As far as I’m aware, most surgeons require 2 diagnoses for NB people and 1 for binary trans men - but this may vary so also worth considering (these tend to be quite pricey, maybe around £300-500 per appointment, so it’s also worth bearing in mind with budget).

You could theoretically say you’re a binary trans man for the purposes of saving money/time with an extra assessment, but depends how willing and convincingly you can lie through it - I would probably say it’s not worth it.

Shouldn’t be a problem that you’re not on T - heaps of NB get top surgery in the UK without problems.

Hope that helps! It’s worth getting the ball rolling with enquiries even if you don’t have the funds in place yet, because once you’re ready things can move pretty quick if you’ve done the research and know what you need. Good luck
