trans people, if you've had top surgery* did you have revisions to reduce scarring/dog ears? does having scarring/dogs ears* affirm your gender or identity as a trans person?

not trans/haven't had top surgery
*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
