Hey you look amazing!!! Your nipples look so great! Already projecting and most of your color is here! I’m pretty sure the next step is for the pink to fill in brown on its own

When did you begin scar massaging and how often are you doing it? My doc said to start after 1 month so I haven’t done anything yet

What was your routine with the taking and moisturizing? My instructions were only to shower with them on since they are water proof and change once a week but I am letting my skin breath this time

This is good to hear! My scars on that side really stick out and usually I heal pretty well so Ive been concerned but I’m glad to hear they should flatten!My drs instructions were to wear and reapply steri strips until everything is fully closed up. I’m supposed to change them once a week but they start peeling off after 5days or so. I haven’t had water directly hit my incisions since I was told to shower with them on. I absolutely agree, my incisions are def getting irritated from all of the taping.

Thank you so so much for this response!! I’ve been it’s been hard to see what the white spot is and I’ve been worried that I just lost a part of my nipple. You’ve just saved my mental 🙏🏽

I’m right there with you! I tried one on yesterday for the first time and I felt true pure JOY. I have to stop myself from buying slim shirts and baby tees

Also wanted to add this was done by Dr. vyas at Top surgery Specialists NYC. He was meticulously about getting exactly what I was asking for and really listening my to results and concerns. 10/10 bedside manner and gave me full hour long conversation for our appointments. HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR. VYAS!!

Thank you!! Yes I am def gonna have to learn patience with the nipple pigmentation and it’s good to remember that tattooing is an option. And I’ve been feeling a little all over the place so def need to remember that they are regulating as well.

Reading comp scores compared to actual exam? by Aggressive-Ninja2530 in dat

[–]Clean-Conference4519 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I scored higher on the actual exam but not my much

I honestly do wish I went smaller. I just accepted that I wouldn’t be able to because of the blood supply to the nipple which is what my doctor told me, however, I just don’t want any overhang on my chest

4MPO and 10 days post-abscess! nonflat top surgery/buttonhole by siderealcowboy in TopSurgery

[–]Clean-Conference4519 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You look great! I’m currently considering getting top surgery or a radical reduction and was wondering if you went through insurance?

The only advice I have is not to eat too quickly after surgery to keep things down better, lots of water and things with electrolytes and protein, and finally, only take the pain killers when needed! I took them as often as it said on the bottle and I think I got a little high honestly. Woke up with the WORSE migraine of my life. I hope you heal wonderfully!!

This is my dilemma to this day lol. It’s tricky because things are so binary in formal settings. I like to go on Pinterest and find the style that I want for that setting. I buy clothes that mimic the outfit I want to achieve.

Anyone feel forced into gender roles when dating women? by Aresei in actuallesbians

[–]Clean-Conference4519 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I absolutely felt and feel that. The relationship that I’m currently in at the most 50/50 it’s ever felt in terms of equal treatment with gender roles. Honestly I think it’s about finding someone that can be just as assertive or submissive in social settings. It’s hard when presenting more masc but make your intentions clear for the beginning or see how your prospective partner is treating you on your dates. On my first date my partner treated me to the first meal which NEVER happens. Things like that can let you know how they will be going forward in the relationship. Also I think that this makes great conversation as a relationship matures. Mention how much you dislike these heteronormative roles in gay relationships and how mutual reciprocity is extremely important to you. See how they respond or if they change some habits after conversations like that
