*top surgery referring to any gender affirming surgeries to your chest, such as removal of or reshaping of breasts, or addition of or reshaping of breasts (via implants or reshaping natural breasts)

*dog ears are a common nickname for a triangular shaped area of extra skin at the end of a scar where the suturing may have puckered up

asking this question because I specifically chose not to have revisions because having dog ears as a trans masculine Individual affirms my identity as a trans person, but most people I know opt for revision because having dog ears makes them feel less masculine, due to not fitting with an ideal cis male body, I purposefully wanted to be noticeably trans and I'm wondering how many other people want that as well

Have you ever heard the idea "top surgery makes you a top during sex"? I'm cis- No, I've never heard that I'm cis- I've heard it online I'm cis- I've heard it irl I'm cis- I've heard it both online and irl I'm trans- No, I've never heard that I'm trans- I've heard it online I'm trans- I've heard it irl I'm trans- I've heard it both online and irl

Fun fact: it's referred to as 'top surgery' because it's a common surgery performed on the top half of the body! What is Top Surgery?

"if you've had top surgery, did it take place in a hospital or a private clinic? also, how long did you stay there after the surgery itself?"

hospital - I left immediately after the surgery

hospital - I stayed a few hours after surgery

hospital - I stayed the night after surgery (or longer)

private clinic - I left immediately after the surgery

private clinic - I stayed a few hours after surgery

private clinic - I stayed the night after surgery (or longer)

haven't had top surgery/results

note: I'm defining private clinic here as anything other than a standard hospital. any smaller or more specific operations.
