James had his double incision top surgery several years ago, and shared the following with us:

✨ What did you want out of your surgery?

I wanted to have a flat and masculine chest, and I had also specifically asked for my ni***es to be resized a bit bigger than the standard size many top surgeons typically do. It just felt like that’s how my body would be had I been born with a flat chest. Dr. Facque was super accommodating and I’m very happy with their size.

✨ What stands out most to you about your journey with GCC?

The whole process on their end was just made so easy by the team, and they were very kind when I was finally able to get insurance coverage. I had been trying for almost 4 years to go to GCC for my surgery, but was having insurance troubles. I hadn’t expected the team to notice that I had tried multiple times to get my surgery done, and when I finally succeeded it made my struggles feel seen when it was noted how long I had been trying to get my surgery.

✨ How has your surgery impacted your daily life or sense of self?

It immediately made me feel so much more comfortable in my skin, I didn’t have to hide my chest anymore. When one of my dearest friends came to see me after I was 3 weeks post op and gave me a hug, I had the joyous revelation that I could truly hug my loved ones without any shadow of discomfort or shame in the back of my head.

These after photos show a patient 1 year post-op following a breast augmentation performed by Dr. Karamanos.

The procedure used a silicone implant placed in a subfascial pocket, with access through an inframammary incision. This approach places the scar within the natural under-breast fold and allows for a smooth, natural-looking result as healing progresses ✨

In this segment of In Good Hands, Dr. Facque explains how HRT can influence breast tissue growth, skin expansion, and long-term predictability for implant-based breast augmentation.

Hip augmentation is designed to create a wider hip appearance and smoother body contour. For many patients, it can help address concerns like narrow hips or hip dips while supporting a more balanced silhouette.

This is a double incision top surgery with ni**le grafts, performed by Dr. Jacobs.

This is the most popular form of chest reconstruction top surgery, and involves the surgical removal of chest tissue and excess skin, as well as resizing and placement of the areolas as skin grafts. The result is a flatter chest with a horizontal scar on each side, generally on or around the bottom of the pectoral muscles.
