FTM Top Surgery Experience

I am a transgender. Female to male. I spent two years researching surgeons for my top surgery simply because, this was going to be the biggest, permanent change I have ever made to my body. It took two years for me to come across Dr Reid at Restora Austin, and I wouldn’t have been happier to have spent this much time finding the absolute best surgeon for my surgery. My biggest dysphoria was my breasts so going into this my anxiety was through the roof. Once I walked in the door for my consult, I immediately felt a sense of relief simply from how welcoming the staff were. The staff were completely respectful of preferred pronouns and name as well! My consult with Dr Reid and my nurse was absolutely astounding to say the least. They both respected my privacy and anxiety when it came to the examination to find out what exact surgery would be best for me. Going into the consult I knew I wanted periareolar simply because I did not want the long scars that were associated with double incision, but I kept an open mind because I knew regardless of my wants and wishes, you simply have to be a candidate (size and nipple location) for peri areolar. Dr Reid explained the pros and cons of both periareolar and double incision, explaining I was a candidate of both and decision was up to me. I was on the fence at this point, my anxiety was going crazy and I was worried if I would make the right decision for me. Dr Reid and his nurse stepped out and discussed a few things and came back in with the conclusion that, periareolar would be best for me simply because of the worry about the long scars with double incision and with the reassurance that he would everything he possibly could to prevent the cons of periareolar. And that’s exactly what he did! My surgery went amazing and I couldn’t be any happier with my results! He even took more time than initially planned to perfect his work by doing a little more liposuction. When I tell you this is the best surgeon around, this is the best surgeon around and he has the BEST team to accompany him! I have absolutely no complaints and would highly recommend this surgeon for any transgenders seeking top surgery! Thank you Dr Reid for changing my life forever!
