Title: Inverted T/Anchor surgery questions
Post by: Jjbrew42 on December 29, 2014, 06:48:28 AM
Hey guys! I'm sure this has already been asked but the search feature isn't picking up a lot.

I live in Ft Lauderdale, which is super convienently located by both Dr. Timothy Alexander and Dr. Garamonne.
I have consultations with them both this week-
Frankly Dr Alexander kind of scares me but he offers the inverted T surgery whereas I believe Dr Garamonne does not.

Retaining nipple sensation is important to me, so I was wondering how many of you guys have had the inverted t done and what your experience has been like. I've read a few places that the sensation has been pretty significantly reduced and if that's often the case, then I'm not sure it's worth the risk of going with the
doctor I'm less comfortable with.

Also has anyone here used Dr Alexander?
Thanks guys!

Check out this site.  Micah had the inverted T.  I'm sure he would be happy to answer any questions.  I don't know who his surgeon was, but I am pretty sure it was not Alexander.  http://neutrois.me/2012/02/14/top-surgery-analyzing-results/

In terms of Alexander, I have not heard positive things about him.  Someone posted a site where there were complaints about him.  I don't remember who that was, but maybe they will come into this thread.  If you end up seriously considering him, then I would post a thread with his name in the title so others will click on it.

Garramone does not do inverted T.
