I randomly found this article and thought it would be a good idea to show to family and friends who may not quite get it. I know I'm going to show this to my dad when I come out.

I am still worrying about #5...about them regrowing even if little bit because I definitely won't accept it.   :(

Number 5 didn't even occur to me, now that's another thing I'm going to get paranoid about.

I believe the paranoia can be lifted by just knowing your surgeon's revision policies. If they offer free revision or less than $1000, then yes it would suck if they grew a little bit but it would not be as big of a deal to fix them again.

If there is anyone here who had top surgery and are not on T, I really would like to know because this is really freaking me out. I am already trying to lose weight in that area when my weight is already normal overall.  I definitely don't have intentions to have additional procedures when it should be done right the first time.

Did you read the article?  Because it says they will not grow back.  The only thing that might have any chance of growing is if all glandular tissue isn't removed or if you gained fat in the area.

I didn't post this to freak people out about one of the points  :D. Like the last person and the article said, it won't happen.
