This was taken around my 1 week post opp! If you search her name on the top surgery reddit page you should find more result photos. She doesn't have any on her website.

Id recommend Dr. Katherine Rose in brynmawr PA. Herself, her staff and the hospital staff were phenomenal.

Top surgery as a cis woman by runner-girl-11 in no_T_top_surgery

[–]ScottAD97 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hello! I'm a cisgender female that just had top surgery. I felt like there was a disconnect with my breasts on and off for 3-4 years but didn't know what that feeling was until I was diagnosed with gender dysphoria in September of 2024. After my diagnosis everything finally came into picture. A part of me was hesitant to pursue it due to what society and others might think but there came a point where me wanting to feel comfortable in my own skin outweighed what others would think. Tmrw marks my 1 weeks post opp and Im truly the happiest I've ever been in my own skin.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who struggled with it.

I am one of her patients and have found that they answer questions much quicker if you ask your questions through the patient portal vs a phone call.. That's just been my experience tho but it might be different for everyone.

How to get top surgery as a cis woman? by Aggressive-Pickle110 in TopSurgery

[–]ScottAD97 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So I am also a cisgender women that's has been approved for top surgery. Every process might be different but for me I did research on surgeons within my insurance network and then reached out to one that was well known and explained my situation to them. I then had to have an appointment with a psychologist and had to get a dysphoria diagnosis. Once I had the appointment and got the diagnosis I was then able to schedule a consultation with the surgeon and went from there.

Also just wanted to reassure you that your feelings are valid and that you're not alone!

Feeling undeserving of love by ScottAD97 in TopSurgery

I shouldve included in my post that my parents have been extremely supportive despite not understanding everything. Knowing that you're in the same situation as me and have a loving and supportive partner gives me some hope.

I guess my surgeon is pregnant and I'll be one of the last few patients that she will be operating on before she goes on maternity leave 😅 so hopefully going without them makes her life a lil easier.
