So I was just on youtube, looking around and I watched a vid where this boy explains that his surgeon said it's harder to get good results with top surgery if the man has been binding a lot. Does anyone know if this is true? All I have is his word that he heard this from his doctor, but i'd like to know i their is truly any truth behind this.

If you bind too much, does it make top surgery harder to perform/get good results?

technically no, but if the skin is stretched enough (tissue breakdown?) then there might be extra scarring (from the whole nipple placement thing).

In here it says that binding makes the skin less elastic, which can limit surgery options.  It didn't say much more, though.  I'd assume that this is mostly for peri surgeries, but I'm not sure.

By peri are you referring to the keyhole method? Sorry I got a bit confused when you said peri surgeries. Since i've got big breasts, my best options (from the research i've done) seems to be double incision. So i'm not really concerned about too much. (For some reason I can't read that file you linked =/ ) When you say it mentions that surgery options are limited when the skin is less elastic, is that like if you have sagging skin, it's better for you to have double incision over keyhole type of thing?

Sorry the link isn't working for you.  I think that tighter skin is needed for the keyhole method, as none is being removed.

Its really only an issue for peri/keyhole, at least that's what Dr. Garramone told me. If there is a lot of sagging or not a lot of skin elasticity double incision would be better because of nipple placement.

I'd still rather bind than let it hang out there.  Hopefully it won't cause too much of a problem.  I have noticed my chest's a different shape and a little lower now, but other than that not so much change
