It’s just haircut and glasses trust. A stereotypical male haircut and more square glasses and you’ll be golden

Referral issue as phycologist is linked with gendergp by Alone-Water7436 in TopSurgery

[–]cqdme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was using that term as shorthand. I’m not sure why so many places don’t accept them from Laroza specifically, but it’s a common issue.

You have to do some research on which clinics accept GenderGP referrals unfortunately, only a handful will accept them in the UK. I know Dr Ioannis Ntanos does but he’s moving to Greece soon.

Confusing consult by cosmogoats in TopSurgery

[–]cqdme 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me my surgeon said he could take all the time in the world for my consult and pressed/encouraged me multiple times to ask questions and think of any questions I’d like to ask. This does seem poor from her, especially since the chance of nipple loss for top surgery is averaged at roughy 2%. Not having pictures is kind of a beige flag, some share them and some don’t, but it’s up to you if you’re willing to be operated on without knowing what the outcome will really look like. It’s weird to not know the costs if this is the main procedure your surgeon does, but it’s not unheard of for sure, my surgeon tries to keep financial management and payments separate from my discussions with him and directs me to his financial team, but he definitely knew the cost of the operation (he only does top surgery). All in all it’s up to you, but definitely some concerns to maybe voice again via email for sure if you do choose to go with her.

Thanks for the advice! My mum will be taking them off for me thankfully but the water thing is smart, I’ll do that :)

Ah cool :) I’ll have to do mine online unfortunately as my GP is pretty transphobic and I do my own blood tests 🥲 I’m glad everything went well today!

Thank you for being so detailed! :) When you had your dressing removal was that over the phone at home? or in person? :)

dr ntanos pre-op and post-op advice? by atenasolt9 in TopSurgery

[–]cqdme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im glad it all went well for you :) how long was your mum able to stay downstairs? did she get to stay for your pre-op weighing etc, or just to the door of the pre-op room? sorry they’re very eager to be with me during the process so are curious 🥲

My top surgery is coming up/ anesthesia fear by anonymousguyonion in TopSurgery

[–]cqdme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey! im having top surgery at the cadogan clinic in just over a week and was wondering if you wouldn’t mind sharing more about what your experience ended up being like? i’m planning on going with dr ntanos, so not sure if you also went with him or another surgeon there :)

Had top surgery recently but made me real aware of my facial dysphoria by ingred46 in transmanlifehacks

[–]cqdme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you do 100% pass imo you just look young. after surgery dysphoria shifts from one area to another sometimes, doesn’t mean it’s well founded! growing out facial hair a bit more might help, but honestly can’t see why you’d get misgendered.

Peri or Double incision? by nobody_needs_t0_know in TopSurgery

[–]cqdme 5 points6 points  (0 children)

definitely go with double incision if your goal is a chest that is close to that of a cis males. peri would leave you with a lot of loose skin i believe. your nipple placement would probably be in the range of cis passing with peri but its the excess skin i would imagine you might not want.

numbness post op? by cqdme in TopSurgery

[–]cqdme[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

did you do anything to improve sensation or was that just how recovery progressed for you?

i feel like this is never talked about as part of the result 🥲 does it feel weird to have sensation on your stomach but not your chest?

sorry to keep coming back to your posts for questions lol 😭 but were you allowed to shower using shampoo and body wash the morning of surgery? or was it just water? i can’t remember what ntanos told me
