how small can they make your chest when getting a reduction? can they make it fully flat?
I’ve never heard of that happening. that would be a question for the surgeon, (at what point does it go from a reduction to a T-anchor top surgery). my instinct was to say something along the lines of it would be insurance fraud to say “this is a medical reduction” and then reduce it to flat as per top surgery...But then i thought about it for a while...
cis women don’t just get reductions, (weight removed) they get aesthetically pleasing chests that are weight reduced to reduce the medical complaints. There’s no reason that if a trans person needed a medical reduction, they couldn’t also justify needing an aesthetically pleasing chest (even if it’s not the norm outcome) as the outcome of a reduction. it’s not like they just take a hunk out of cis women’s chests- they sculpt them to be pleasing when she wakes up. the same should be true of their trans clients results or it could amount to gender discrimination. I know i may have gone off on a tangent, but often the reason people are going to reduction first vs top surgery is that insurance pays for one and not the other. mod mayhem.
(p.s. if you try this, you will have to fight. be prepared and be strong. insurance PLANS on you giving up so they don’t have to pay. make them pay. )
