豊胸手術、胸オペ


Definition from Iris:
豊胸手術(ほうきょうしゅじゅつ)とは乳房を大きくする手術を指す。
https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/豊胸手術

胸オペとは、FtMや一部FtX当事者のなかでよく使われる言葉ですね。胸のふくらみをとる手術のことであり、正確には「乳腺摘出手術」や「乳房切除手術」のことを指します。
https://iris-lgbt.com/blog/2020/06/28/breast_removal_surgery...

Example sentence(s):
  • ftmの人たちの間で呼ばれる俗に言う「胸オペ」。一般人はもちろんのこと、医療従事者に「胸オペ」と言ってもまず通じません。胸に関する手術は、多くありますから・・・。胸オペは、FTMだけのための乳房切除、乳腺摘出の手術のことです。 - MC Clinic  
  • 乳腺・乳房切除の胸オペをはじめ、脂肪吸引・注入技術を用いて、シックスパックや胸筋、たくましい上腕など、男性的な肉体美をデザインすることも可能です。 - The Clinic  
  • MTF豊胸手術は女性の体を作るために不可欠です。専門の形成外科医は、男性的な胸から、乳房インプラントを行い、肩、乳首の位置、およびインプラントのサイズのバランスをとることができます。 - Kamol Hospital  

Explanation:
It doesn't seem like there's a term that covers both breast removal and augmentation like "top surgery". However, 豊胸手術 is a term used for both non-trans and MTF breast augmentation, while 胸オペ is used specifically for FTM (or FTX) breast reduction.
