top surgery

cathesix, thinking of you ... sending best wishes and hugs ...

sleepybutch, huge congrats! so happy for you ... how freeing all of it sounds!

I am not big in the chest parts area but still want top surgery one day ... I have not taken the brief time out to have the surgery. Reading sleepybutch's post is reminding me of what a wonderful gift to myself it would be. And less pain -->> just yesterday I bruised the leftie on a 5" screw I deliberately left sticking out 3.5" of a 4x4 until I could get some other boards lined up. When wood-working, I wish for 8 hands. I finally finished something about an hour after dark last night I have been working on/off for awhile.

Are all top surgery docs worried about weight? Or are there ones who will work with you on weight stuff?

I believe all doctors are concerned about weight, particularly surgeons. There are risks and issues with weight when it comes to any kind of surgery. Talk to your doctor.

I dont know about over there,but in terms of outcomes,it is best to lose weight,and build as much muscle in your chest as you can,then they can reconstruct around the muscle.
Also outcomes depend on if your on T or not.

regarding doctors I talked more to other transmen,there is a doctor here who hates fat people,I didnt go to her.
my guy,did surgery in 2 stages,masectomy first and then reconstruction 6 mths later.

being both fat and lean,my chest looks much better when I'm lean,and have built up my pecks,its harder being nearly 60 now,but these days I like being healthy.

I dont know if I really answered your question,no matter the surgery,doctors always go on about weight.

cheers
