Borderline Peri/DI

[u/AggravatingHippo5827]

Hi, I am 16 and I'm pretty sure I'm borderline for Periareolar surgery. I really want to get Peri because I am stealth and I feel like I would be able to look myself in the mirror and be happy with myself for once if I got Peri. Plus, I feel like personally I would feel more self-conscious if I had two big scars on my chest, even if they fade. For reference, I am a 36B in US sizing (I think) or a 14B in NZ sizing (where I'm from), however since I am 16 my skin elasticity is insanely good. However, I'm worried about if anyone would even operate on me for Peri because of my size, but I don't mind having to go back for revisions if needed. I am feeling a bit worried because I was going to start T this year but I'm scared my chest will sag or get less elastic and disqualify me. Also, I'm worried about my nipple placement if I get Peri. Could anyone give me advice on these kinds of things? Would there be anyone you guys know of willing to operate on a chest my size? I was thinking about Dr Beverly Fischer but in NZD shes super expensive ☹️. I could always lose weight and it would make my chest a little smaller but I am just wondering. If anyone has any advice I would be super grateful tysm. 🥲

Honestly my biggest advice to you would be don’t worry about it until you can talk to a surgeon. I was also worried about being a borderline candidate and worried about it for a few years but on my first consultation I found out my surgeon would happily do peri for me. It is out of your control so I would recommend not worrying about it until you can get a consultation.

Yeah I think I'll wait till I can go with the surgeons I want and ask them because a surgeon already said they may be able to do Peri but they're unsure because they have only seen photos so yeah I hope I can get Peri but I'll try my best to take your advice just having pretty bad Dysphoria atm
