My surgeon was Dr. Beverly Fischer in Baltimore, MD. The procedure was done on July 26, 2007 if I remember correctly. It's a keyhole. Wish I had a before pic, but I was a large A. I've been on T since August 3, 2006.

Thanks, guys! ;D It's getting warmer up here in Massachusetts, so I'm going to have to go swimming or some other shirtless activity.

The scarring's all around the nipples - what they do is they cut around the nipple, leaving it still attached by a cord of tissue, scoop out the extra breast material, then sew the nipples back on. I have plenty of sensation still left in my nipples, and almost full feeling in my chest. You don't really see the scars because they're on a place where there's sort of a "seam" anyway around the nipple.

It definitely looks authentic.  :icon_biggrin:

I've got a technical question: Were your areolas already this size or were they made smaller? They look absolutely male.

Dude, ya look TERRIFIC !!!
Really, really fine..................
(not that I am normally 'into' men's chests ;D)

My kid goes manana for his top surgery - my fingers & toes are crossed tightly that he ends up looking as good as you do.

Congrats Andrew
Best Wishes


Wishy: dunno about Andrew, but my son's is $8K, ($8,060 to be precise)  A lot of ca$h, yes - but for surgery it's actually relatively reasonable, IMHO.

Looking great, Andrew. She did a really good job, and you're a lucky bugger to have been able to have keyhole.

Andrew -

How long did it take you to recover -- to get back to normal activities?

The surgery itself cost $6500 - of course, there were additional expenses - plane fare, food, lodging, etc.

They were pretty small to begin with, but I think they took a little off.

I was up and about a couple of days later, but I still couldn't raise my arms too far above my head or do anything too strenuous.
