FTM needs surgeon familiar with other techniques that eliminate 'dog-ear' deformity after mastectomy? (Photos)

May 7, 2017
Asked By:readytodome in Orlando, FL

I am bigger chested and I have seen many 'dog ear' deformities from bigger chested FTM mastectomies. Some take their incisions back further which I am not interested in. After research I have noticed by finding a doctor that is familiar with "fish-shaped incision or tear-drop incision" that usually will elimate the issue I will have. All I am asking for is my incisions to avoid my main concern ; I would like this done within the next 4 months if I can find a certified surgeon with experience.
