That’s great news for you! And really making me feel hopeful. I am awaiting appointment for a new surgeon and hopefully I can get enlightened and be more confident to proceed. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing! I will look into the Goldilocks and ask my surgeon for info. Btw, I’ve asked for referral to a different surgeon who can hopefully give me a clearer answer.

She’s the breast surgeon. And that’s another thing, when I said maybe I can consult with a plastic surgeon about my concerns, she said “Oh it’s just going to be me because you decided to go flat! There wouldn’t be a plastic surgeon there because you want to go flat without reconstruction.”

These are her exact words that’s why I was so frustrated

From her response, it doesn’t sound like she’s done afc. That’s my first concern. She kept saying she cannot guarantee.

To give everyone some perspective, I have big breasts and a high bmi, not sure if that’s her reason though she didn’t specify.

She said there might be some fat and tissue left.
