FTM Top Surgery - Atlanta, GA

The results are extremely disappointing. I should have done more research on Dr. Lincenberg and his no-drain procedure. Since my surgery was done poorly, I will need a complete new surgery to correct the problems. The fact that Dr. Lincenberg would not admit this and that he thought he could appease me with a minor, in-office procedure is problematic and I no longer feel comfortable with him doing anything else to my chest. I'm frustrated that I will have to pay a large sum of money all over again to have someone else reconstruct my chest. But at this point, I need someone skilled in revisions so I will see a surgeon with more experience and knowledge about top surgery to fix my chest. It's hard, but I feel like it's important to share my experience. I have included post-op photos. (I'm uncomfortable posting any before pics but I was probably a B/C cup I guess). You can see from the pictures that too much skin was left, the quilting sutures (used in a no-drain procedure) didn't release and some were pulled too tight, and the nipple/areolas were placed too low (and not where they were marked during our pre-op discussion). I had this surgery because of my gender dysphoria. While I am relieved to no longer have breasts, it's still hard to look in the mirror because of these results.
