What is the peri-areolar concentric circle top surgery method all about?
The first surgeon I consulted about top surgery recommended double incision for me. Dr. Bowman however thought this was overkill considering the size of my breasts: a small B/large A. Instead, he recommended peri-areolar concentric circle. This procedure is not the same thing as keyhole. The main difference is that with keyhole, the inframammary fold is not removed, and with PACC, it is. In fact, Dr. Bowman does not practice keyhole for this exact reason: he feels that the i-fold should be removed to provide a proper male chest contour. I am extremely pleased that I was a candidate for PACC and didn’t require nipple grafts or the larger scars that are the result of double incision. I didn’t think I’d be able to get anything other than double incision, and due to the apparent lack of information about the PACC procedure (it’s often confused with keyhole) I know a lot of guys also assume that double incision is their only option. Even if you are not a candidate for keyhole due to the siz

Even if you are not a candidate for keyhole due to the size of your chest, you might still be able to have PACC. It’s suitable for A and B sizes. Skin elasticity is also a determining factor.
