There Is Not One Best Option Or Set Of Options For Every Patient
What is best for you depends on
1. What you want,
2. What your body (your tissues) will allow you to have, and
3. What tradeoffs you are willing to accept.
No option is perfect, and no option is without tradeoffs.
A surgeon can only offer you the options a surgeon knows how to do.
You must know about all the options and the tradeoffs of each option in order to make an informed decision.
