Please wait until your appointment with your surgeon to decide which treatment is best for you. Request that he/she show photos of the surgery you have in mind
This is not an easy surgery. For Deip flap, you will have scarring where they collect the fat to transfer to your breast.
You will not wind up with “cosmetically gorgeous breasts.” Please do your research. It’s a very painful surgery with months, sometimes years of recovery ♥️

Its not the flap procedure, its literally scars under the fold and there is no skin from other parts. Its "skin and nipple" saving surgery. I had a tummy tuck 15 years ago so that flap surgery is not an option. They take out the breast tissue and leave skin and nipples, put in implants. I will find out soon enough if it will work in my case and what exactly is involved.
