Ever since I can remember, I was self-conscious about how big my chest was. Identity is a very complicated thing, and after exploring mine more, it became clear that it was time for surgical intervention. Breast reduction didn’t seem to have the results I wanted to achieve, so I’ve decided to pursue top surgery.
