Incision Indecision

I talked to Dr. Meltzer’s staff today concerning the breast augmentation. I asked them about the armpit incision versus the nipple incision. They said that Dr. Meltzer prefers the nipple incision because he can place the implant much better in that manner, and it’s a smaller incision. They said that the armpit incision leaves the implant further on the outside of the chest (which is probably the case due to just having a larger chest than a genetic girl). They said the nipple incision leaves a less visible scar than the armpit incision, which would be visible any time I raised my arm while wearing a sleeveless top.

I also told them about my scars not healing up quite as well as other people’s....thus my concern for putting a scar right in the middle of the breast, something I find to be quite beautiful without having to notice a huge scar.

Because I’m often concerned when I hear about surgeons making the implants too big, I told them I preferred a more natural shape and a smaller size than some. I told her I didn’t want porn star boobs. The funniest thing she told me was that “Dr. Meltzer is not a big boob man.” We both laughed with that comment. She said he does a good job of keeping them fairly reasonable. I told her I’m fairly athletic like Dr. Meltzer and that I wouldn’t want them too big with my activities. She said that would be a good thing to mention to Dr. Meltzer during a consult.

We discussed costs and a few other items, but since I was still torn between the arm pit incision and the nipple incision, and did not really want to just go in blind with the nipple incision, I told her I would put off the possibility of a breast aug until June at the earliest, but that I would discuss it with Dr. Meltzer when I had my pre-surgical consult next month. Luckily, I believe there is still time to do the BA during my labiaplasty later this year.
