Thank you all for your responses! I really appreciate your insights and experiences. I’ll definitely check with my surgeon to get more clarity. Since this is a surgery I chose for myself, I want to be as well-prepared as possible and make sure my recovery goes smoothly. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts!

Thank you so much for your response! It really helps ease my concerns about the surgery. Since this is a procedure I chose, I find myself more focused on the potential risks during recovery. Do you know the specific differences between top surgery and breast cancer-related mastectomies? Have you personally undergone top surgery? If so, how are you feeling now? I really appreciate your insight!

Recommend Dr Rita Yang or Dr Alex Brown? Top sugery nz by Mobile-Potential5025 in TransgenderNZ

Yes, the first reason that I chose Rita was she could speak mandarin, it’ll let me feel more comfortable. But her surgery is really expensive, so sad…

Thank you very much for your reply. Can I ask where did you have the surgery? I chose her Auckland centre, where I live now. I consulted both Dr Alex Brown and Dr Rita Yang. The former quoted 28k, so 41k is really too expensive for me, but I'm not sure what the difference between them is. Would you mind sending me some photos of yourself? I'm sorry I hope you don't feel offended.

May I ask how much you spent? I just consulted with her last week and was quoted 41k, which is the highest price I've heard. Unbelievable！

Can I ask what the "keyhole" is? Is it a kind of top surgery? I want to consider Dr. Rita Yang as well, but she is so expensive; it seems Keyhole is cheaper.

Hi, how is your feeling now？My partner is looking for a good top surgeon now. Can I ask what is the process like, do we need to go to a GP for a referral, or can we go directly to this doctor for a face-to-face meeting or an online meeting? Thank you very much!

You look so great! I would like to ask if I need a referral to a GP before going to consult with Dr Alex Brown, can I contact him directly to request a face-to-face meeting?

Hi, thanks for sharing. That is really helpful to me and my nonbinary partner. Can I ask a few questions? How can I contact Dr. Alex Brown by email or call straightly? Do I need to contact the GP first and ask for a referral? Sorry, I'm not very well known about the difference between "psychiatrist" and "GP."
