I voted curved, because hopefully, they could curve up around my pecs and not look as noticeable. I don't really know if I could qualify for keyhole, but I doubt it. Keyhole would be favorable, though.

I would like the scarlessness of keyhole, but not 100% about the results.  DI looks better on some people, even those really small to begin with, regardless of the scarring.

I'm not too fussed about whether my scars are straight or curved, but I'm wondering if I could find a surgeon who would join the two scars together, that way it would seem to be less like they were something specifically to do with my pecs/breasts and more to do with the general chest area.  Maybe that's just my weird way of thinking though.

I have curved.  My room mate always says it makes my chest look amazing from about 5 feet away, so I'm not complaining.  I regularly go to the beach shirtless (in Georgia of all places) and have never received any questions, comments, or otherwise about the situation. 

Now to just actually beef up the pecs to match their appearance =p

And I agree keyhole results are sometimes not the best despite the lack of scars. 

What are some of the downsides of keyhole?

It can leave saggy droopy skin and it doesn't always completely flatten everything out.

Also, the nipple placement is pretty unpredictable.

I'm afraid that curved scars will make it look like there is still a feminine chest. /Shrug. So I'd prefer them straight if I have the choice.

Ditto.

Same here

Don't most cis men's pecs have a slight curve? I think so but really am not too sure. I don't make it a habit to look at cis guy's chests because it amps up my dysphoria horribly.

On the straight incision scars I have seen they look good on smaller guys. There is one older transguy I've seen with straight incisions (he's a stout looking guy) and it just looks off. I don't know how to explain it except it catches your eye.

For myself, I'm going to go with the slightly curves incisions (unless the surgeon insists on the other). I plan on using the silicone scar strips asap on them so hopefully they won't be very prominent after awhile.

Not sure what you mean but mine doesn't look feminine at all. I think curved hides the scars better.

Agreed. The curved scars make it look like I have really muscular pecs, not feminine at all.

I agree. I've never once thought curved scars look feminine. Men have curves under their pecs so it's a more natural look, which often hides under the pec or makes the pecs look more muscley.

^ I would have to agree, also. I would much prefer curved.

Mine are curved, which is what I personally prefer. I think the curvature allows them to follow along the contour of my rib cage better. It looks more natural to me, or as natural as scars can look anyway, haha  My scars are long enough that I think it would look off if they were straight; just my thoughts though.

it's not that weird thinking. i've also wished there was a way to make the scars look like they're from an accident or something, but... if i were to get this surgery i'd still go for curved since they're more likely to get hidden as time passes.

My scars are more boxy, as in ] than )

I didn't vote because I didn't have keyhole, but purse string (PACC). So an incision all around my nipple at the desired size and then a bit outwards from the original areola which removes a donut of skin. Then it's all sewn together like a purse string. So my scars are just around my new areola edge.

I've noticed this too. I have straight scars and I'm pretty skinny, so it works on my body. I think it really depends on your physique.
