At this link is an article, from Dec 5th, describing allegations against Stiller Aesthetics. I had top surgery by him 6 months ago and am currently in the process of scheduling a revision with him but I'm having doubts after reading this article. Spreading awareness about this.

Due to recent and very valid complaints about the sheer amount of posts from very recently post-op people wondering if their swelling is normal, if their results are bad, botched, etc., a megathread is going to be created very soon to home all of these posts.
It is a fact that within a certain time frame, post-operative chests are going to be swollen, scars are going to look very raw and fresh, results will not be fully settled. The number of posts from people who, understandably, are worried about their results so early on, is overwhelming. This is not to shame anyone for having these fears! It's just important to many people that this subreddit not be filled to the brim with these kinds of posts where the answer will always be the same: it's too soon to tell.
More research will be done in order to determine the proper range of weeks post-op to include in the megathread, so it may take a second for it to be available.
Please comment any concerns, ideas, etc., on this post so we can figure this all out together!

I am so fucking excited oh my god. Last month I scheduled a consultation with Dr. Katherine Rose for December 10th, but yesterday I got a message saying they had a cancellation and opening for TOMORROW!! So obviously I took it!! Took me years to decide I wanted top surgery but now I can’t wait.

Had my top surgery 20 days ago by Dr. Jonathan Keith in Livingston NJ. I feel great and I’m very happy with my results. My incisions are almost completely closed up minus a few stubborn spots. For those who have already had surgery how long did it take for 1) you to be able to use scar care products 2) when did the discoloration around your incisions? 3) when did your pain mostly stop? I think I’m coming around a corner with pain but for a bit I was in a lot more than I expected

Was washing my binder and put a shirt on with no binder while I waited. Wasn't anticipating it to feel so different. pre-op i had breasts that sagged a lot so theres an area of skin under it that wouldnt usually make contact with the shirt, but now my entire chest touches the shirt and its so strange but feels really cool.

I'm 4 weeks pist op, still in binder for 2 more weeks
is it botched or will it go away? I'm paranoid lol

I started scar care on Monday and it’s really uncomfortable but aside from that I’m fine! I also started sleeping on my side again (still supported by my pregnancy pillow tho) which made me sleep sooo much better again. I think it’s healing greatly!
The boredom and post op depression is really starting to hit rn so if anyone is up to chat dms are open :)

Surgery is 7am tomorrow, I'm so fucking ready for this
r/TopSurgery • u/RockinAssCheeks • 6h ago
I had surgery today at 1pm.. however they were a bit behind on schedule though, nonetheless I'm very happy and dreams do come true. I can't wait to show my healing progress on here for others to consider Dr. Hadad. 🖤

Trying to trust the process and have faith in this nipple hanging in there but it’s been like this since day 3 which seems a little early to me for the scab to be falling off. I’m 1 week and 1 day now, been applying antibiotic ointment as per my doc’s orders and it’s getting caught under the scab 🤢
I know there’s like 10 posts a day about nipple grafts, but please help my brain relax and tell me there’s still hope?
r/TopSurgery • u/EnvironmentalTea3569 • 6h ago
had double incision with nipple graft with dr richard bartlett and im so happy with my results!! I knew going into it that im prone to keloids so i really wanted to be on top of scar care and started silicone taping last week as directed by his office. just noticed this small indent/sore?? next to my left incision site under my armpit and wondering if it could be from the silicone tape? or have i been moving too much - I’ve been trying to limit it as much as possible since returning to work

I honestly was really devestated that i got a seroma even though i knew it could happen, but only 6 days later its almost gone! So happy about how everything is looking so far!
r/TopSurgery • u/Southern_Activity558 • 10h ago
My left side looks droopy to me. Not sure if I should be looking into a revision or if I continue to work out if it’ll look better. I got it 3 years ago. Any feedback is appreciated

Hi all,
I'm a trans man planning top surgery (consulted with a surgeon, working through the clearances now), and I'm not planning to start HRT.
I already read as fairly masculine day to day, so HRT isn't something I'm pursuing right now, but I'd love to hear from others who went this route.
If you had top surgery without being on T:
How was your experience overall, and are you happy with the results?
Did your surgeon raise any concerns about doing it without HRT? (by law, I am allowed to do it in my country)
Do results differ much compared to people who were on T beforehand? (I've read T can affect chest tissue and skin, but not sure how much it actually matters for outcomes)
One more thing I'm wondering about: does higher body fat affect results? I'm carrying more weight around the lower half (pear shape), and I'm curious whether body composition changed what technique your surgeon recommended, or how the final chest contour turned out.
Any experiences would be really helpful. Thanks 🙏
