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. Â
(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. )
