Firstly, I'm a trans male (FTM) and unfortunately I have a D cup. Top surgery is too expensive right now, but I plan on starting hormones soon. I'm looking for a few facts on the affects of hormones (T) on breasts if any. Do they cause any shrinkage at all or any other kind of side effects to breasts?

Since you are young and your over-all breast volume is not too large, a periareolar, subcutaneous mastectomy is the best option. The scar would only be located on the lower half of the areola borders and your results will be pleasing.
In order to reduce the over-all Breast Volume and obtain a completely flat chest, I would recommend the Double Incision Mastectomy. The Periareolar approach is also possible, but with a 50% reduction in volume in order to avoid leaving behind loose skin.
I'm sorry to hear you're feeling frustrated with your surgical results. You should speak with your surgeon regarding your concerns; they can evaluate your results and guide you on whether the situation will improve or if further intervention is necessary.
