I have a large chest myself, but using a full body binder from Underworks works for me (forget the number). Personally, I didnt want top surgery until I had a good amount of time on T to build up the pec muscles. That way when I do get surgery, I already have the pecs for them to better sculpt rather than any guess work that could get screwey and asymmetrical if I later built up muscle. This is important for me but it all depends on the person. I'm a bit of a fitness freak and I want to have a good overall toned look (not buff) and for me it's important that my chest fits this as well as possible. So spending up to a year on T was my decision. This is a chest I'll have for life. I've dealt with these lumps for 28 years, I can wait a little longer to help ensure a result I personally would prefer.
Have you been binding at all? Once you start, things start to loosen up and they become far easier to manipulate and make look flatter. Really doesn't take long for this to happen either. I'm a DD (may be less now but haven't checked) and I can flatten them enough to pass in button shirts, polos and even some tees. I'm 30 inch waist and size medium (sometimes small) in shirts so DD is really out of proportion for me but a good fitting binder can make all the difference!.
