Welcome to Gaia! ::

I've been looking into getting top surgery done for the past few years, but from what I have heard is confusing me in terms of a timeframe on when it can be done after HRT is started.

Some sources say you can have it done 6 months after you start on HRT. Others, like my hormone therapist, say 12 months.

This is really confusing, as it breaks down like this:

If I were to look into top surgery 6 months from my HRT start[I started in June of this year], it'll have me possibly getting surgery in December. However, since I work retail that barely gives me hours and I'm on-call every week, I decided to push my surgery until February.

If I were to look into top surgery a year from my HRT start, it'll have me possibly getting surgery next June.

Any ideas on what the preferred one is in terms of how long post-HRT start I can look into surgery?

Gotcha. I'm just really confused in terms of when, as there are so many sources that say 6 months, others say a year, etc.
