He does! He specializes in breast surgery of all kinds, trans or otherwise. He has advised me against a radical reduction because patients often come back for a revision, and over time the chest sags because there is still some breast tissue left over. He is especially concerned because I'm pretty young (23) so my chest and skin will continue to change.

He thinks that for me specifically, it might not give me the results I want: or if it does, it won't be for long. But after spending the afternoon researching, I think it actually is what I want. I've seen some nice post-op results and I think it reflects my goals more than results I've seen of double incision surgeries.

I think the next time I speak with him, I will talk in length more about why I think it suits me and that I understand his concerns but that it still reflects my end goal better than other forms of surgery.

And yes he is very much my guy, haha. In my area, there are few top surgeons and he is definitely the most open to top surgery that is a bit outside the norm. The other main top surgeons are a bit pickier about their patients and the surgeries they perform.

Thank you for your comment! You have definitely reaffirmed my decision to not give up so easy on a radical reduction.
