I am looking to correct two gender affirming surgeries I received in 2022 and 2024 respectively from different surgeons. My top surgery left me with a very ugly scar placed in the very middle of my chest and lopsided dog-ears that force my arms to lay in an uncomfortable position. My liposuction/body sculpt left my body butchered due to my surgeon doing what he wanted instead of what I wanted, creating a slew of physical and mental health issues. I essentially have to redo both procedures without insurance.
Total costs are:
- 17k for top surgery revision - including redoing the scar placement and removal of dog-ears and new breast tissue.
- 13k for liposuction revision - including fat redistribution for better visual and physical balance, creating a more boxy shape that better fits my anatomy
I am fortunate enough to cover travel, procedure deposit, and aftercare costs (including my regular bills) + I have a wonderful housemate and incredible support network to help care for me when I get home. However, the procedure itself is incredibly costly. I'll spend two weeks out of town with virtual follow-ups post-op.
I've been gaslighting myself over the past two years since my liposuction, that I am okay with the results and that they aren't as bad as I feel they are. The reality is this: I'm tired of being incredibly angry and depressed. Because of the shape I was left with, my wardrobe has been significantly reduced; none of my clothes fit and I am deeply uncomfortable. I can no longer utilize style to fake my silhouette. So not only was my body butchered, but my ability to participate in fashion was robbed too. I've been crying almost daily for two years because of what my surgeon did to me. I want to like what I see both in the mirror and while in clothing.
I have until June 9th to accept my quote with a projected procedure date in November. I'll have to pay in full 21 days before the scheduled date.
My dream is to put my energy into collaborating with my local art scene and and helping my fellow trans community instead of hating myself. I was forced into a corner two years ago and that corner has only gotten tighter. I know that it is a lot to ask, but I can't do it without your help.
