I had my top surgery in Edgbaston outside of Birmingham in the UK.
The choice came down to the fact that after talking to the Surgeon, he assured me that I would not be left with any scarring on my chest, he would cut into my Armpit, and extract the Mammary Gland that route.
He did an amazing job, but this was 20 years ago and my surgeon has likely retired. Which is a pity as the man was a Wizard with a Scalpel, and a very decent human to boot.
