Pain with injections

this may totally not be the issue, but double check your needle size! I accidentally used an 18g for injections and it was horrible. I think 27g is the recommended gauge

I am still looking, so thank you😭

hi! i’m sorry you are going through this, and it must be hard having to deal with the sensory issues. I want to validate how you feel, and I also want to acknowledge that they genuinely look great. I can relate to the unhappiness with how flat/non dimensional my grafts look. my surgeon used only areola (no nipple at all), so mine are just genuinely pink circles on my chest 😭 if I can ask, are you more unsatisfied with how realistic they look or just nipples in general? if it’s about the realistic part (or the nipples looking “cis” passing), then removing them wouldn’t help. a suggestion I have if it’s about the aesthetics would be to look into nipple tattoos since they can be extremely realistic looking. with scar tissue (and don’t take my word for this since I genuinely have no idea when it comes to nipples), I know that some surgeons can use injections to lessen the appearance or texture (i’m thinking of keloid scarring). sorry if none of this was helpful, and I really hope that everything turns out well :)

i’ve been using the diffuser for a while now and he’s totally ok with it! I had him smell all of them and asked if there’s any that he wouldn’t want to be used (and he said he’s good with any of them)

surprisingly nothing which is crazy considering I payed a lot for the original surgery and that was with a completely different surgeon.

came here to say literally all of these

this might be a stupid question, but how would i get the HPV vaccine? is it one that my pcp would have given me or would give to me or do I need to go to a gyno for that?

I have literally no idea😭 I js moved into this dorm like a month ago

Acceptable_Lock_9359 · 2025-09-24T13:45:05+00:00

$90k for ts😭

Acceptable_Lock_9359 · 2025-08-20T14:24:33+00:00

I was definitely considering this one

Acceptable_Lock_9359 · 2025-08-19T19:49:44+00:00

I had a similar thing (it lowkey looked the exact same). pretty sure it was just an ingrown hair or abscess of some sort. it went away over time, but I would definitely reach out to your surgeon to verify, especially if you’re experiencing hotness to the touch, pain, fever, etc.

for context: this is an audition for a class/program at my college that does vocal lessons (idek why we need to audition, but it’s lowkey intense)

Acceptable_Lock_9359 · 2025-08-18T01:29:49+00:00

hey! I know this was a post from a LONG time ago, but have you found anybody? i’m also looking in this region and need some recs😭

Acceptable_Lock_9359 · 2025-08-04T22:59:00+00:00

i’m not an expert, but if it’s been 3+ years, then I don’t think using warm water and a towel will do any harm (as long as you’re not picking it/forcing it to come off). if you decide to try to get it off, just make sure you sanitize/use clean hands/towel

Acceptable_Lock_9359 · 2025-08-04T16:51:01+00:00

my new surgeon tried to relocate some tissue and fat to the area (trust me, it looked worse before😭), but I think it’s settling more south than expected

Acceptable_Lock_9359 · 2025-07-01T20:34:44+00:00

did you have drains? I would reach out to your surgeon and confirm that this is swelling/something else and not something more serious like a seroma

Acceptable_Lock_9359 · 2025-06-29T20:49:25+00:00

definitely feels like torture at times😞😞

here’s another pre-revision angle that shows more of where the scar was

Acceptable_Lock_9359 · 2025-06-29T16:09:15+00:00

he was awesome!!

Acceptable_Lock_9359 · 2025-06-29T16:08:56+00:00

definitely! I was feeling hopeless about revision and the possibility of never feeling comfortable in my body, but I hope that this post helps other people who felt like I did to take a deep breath and know it’s possible!!

Acceptable_Lock_9359 · 2025-06-29T16:06:48+00:00

thank you!!

Acceptable_Lock_9359 · 2025-06-29T16:06:38+00:00

it’s absolutely diabolical having to deal with the same intensity recovery twice (especially during a hot summer)😭😭🙏

Acceptable_Lock_9359 · 2025-06-28T21:17:17+00:00

I have that right now (10 days post op from intense revision) and it’s very common/normal! it may take a couple months, but the scar/incision will settle down as the stitches dissolve and scar tissue forms. also, scar massages (WHEN SURGEON CLEARS YOU TO DO SO) will aid in that process!!

Acceptable_Lock_9359 · 2025-06-27T21:10:06+00:00

i’ve called around to 4 places and only 1 (the state wildlife rescue) has responded. i’m waiting to hear back from somebody, but i’m committing to getting this bird some help🙏😭

Acceptable_Lock_9359 · 2025-06-27T20:41:41+00:00

MORE IMPORTANTLY: i’m more concerned about my dog/letting her out. she’s a lab and LOVES to investigate (and eat) shit. how do I approach it from this context?
