top surgery

[Dean Thoreau]

Lucky u!!!! In 6 months I will get my second half of top surgery....had to do in 2 parts....also working to get some weight off so my beer gut will look more like a case instead of a barrel... I gave up on a 6 pack years ago.

Lol, I'm with you on that.. my beer gut... objects are larger than they appear once you have Top surgery.

Omg yeah..... I am in shock , I haven’t been able to look down and see anything other than ........ till the top surgery part1( aka mastectomy)
Now I look down and say holy crap where did that come from and no wonder the trouser waists have been getting tighter and tighter and tighter.

Been worried about how my core will look after the
top surgery removing size DD beasts. Got a beer gut too
even though don't drink beer, in fact hate the stuff. Am
sure gut will look like a mountain.

Will be glad to get the breasts gone, though. I am waiting
for Internal Med. and Cardio. clearance then my surgeon is
ready to schedule the case. Probably be done 1 month later.

Dapper, got a question after reading about guy's drains. My
surgeon told me there would no liposuction. Does that mean
there will be "dog ears" automatically?

No, it does not automatically mean you will have dog ears. Dog ears most often occur due to surgeon inexperience/lack of skill. Some dog ear procedures can be taken care of in the surgeon's office and you should also ask if revisions are free. People should ask that at the time of their consult.

You will see some grossly overweight guys have fat on the sides of their chest, which they call dog ears. However, this is actually back fat and a different procedure would need to be done.

Regarding liposuction, I was just at a trans live surgical training this past week. One of this morning's live surgeries was double incision top surgery. Dr. Bluebond-Langner was saying that she never uses lipo when doing top surgery because there is too much of a chance of having flat spots. I think that makes sense.

Another quick question.

Why can't it be done using laser instead of scalpel? Seems like
it would be less damaging to the surrounding tissue?

One more, ok? Do they do it with the patient supine or prone?
It scares me to be turned upside down. They'd better put me
out first!

I don't know the answer to your first question, sorry.

They do your surgery while you are on your back. Most surgeons sit you straight up once or twice during the surgery (to have a looksee), and hopefully will have you in this position when they determine nipple placement.

You are welcome to ask me as many questions as you would like.

cathexis, one other comment.

If you have a preference for areola size, you should talk ask your surgeon what measurement he uses.
