I am a female to male transgender person who had a botched surgery. Can you tell me what type of surgery I should of had? photo

I am an FTM transgendered person and I had a terribly botched surgery. My surgeon opted for a small incision around the nipple and Mayo scissor dissection of tissue. The breast tissue removed was 450 grams on one side and 475 on the other. I wanted a double incision mastectomy but he decided at the last minute to give me this type. I need multiple revisions, lost a nipple, and had many infections. Can anyone tell me if that was a good type of surgery for me based on my chest size?
