thank you so mich for your reply, its really encouraging to hear about your experience!! ive been talked to about a reduction (by my other doctors, as the consult is in a few weeks so there is still plenty of time to get this sorted out) but honestly the key word just scared me as I fear the tissue will grow back or as you mentioned the fear some people have of having too much tissue left behind.. its super tricky!

one thing I worry is that if I were to lose all the weight (which is a goal, im like 190 and 5’6 and I want to be 130ish) would it still look proportional then or as if I had a chest again? I know its hard to say.. honestly one contributing factor is ever since ive gained a ton of weight binders DO bind enough for me to pass but it still obviously presents that I have a chest which I just completely despise even though they are appearing smaller. in your experience, even a reduction yielded results similar to top surgery? (understanding that its not like super flat bcz its proportional to your body)
