I'm currently a minor so I'm asking this question in advance, having only been on testosterone for a little over a year. I was talking to my endocrinologist about top surgery, and he mentioned that I would need to build more muscle in that region before I can get surgery. I've been working out daily for the past 6 months and I've bulked up considerably, but I was wondering just how much muscle would be ideal for surgeons to work with. I don't need to get super-buff do I?

Dear mnorrie2018,
Thank you for your question. It seems like you may have an acute fluid accumulation, however it is not possible to tell without seeing you in person. Please set up an appointment with your Board Certified Operating Surgeon. Best of luck to you!
Yes I would think those results could be improved but it would depend on how you surgeon did your initial surgery because you don't want to interrupt the blood supply to your areolas. Liposuction might improve it, as well as weight-training to build up the upper part of your pectoralis muscle...
I would think you could get the liposuction and the areolar reduction at the same time. The areolar reduction should be done with a GoreTex or Prolene suture which is left in to reduce the risk of the areola spreading again
