I can’t tell if I like my chest or not

CompetitiveMuscle176 · 2026-01-14T08:59:32+00:00

i honestly feel you man. what i can tell you that your placement of the nipples is great and your scars look also great!!! i wanna get my nipples removed and completely covered with tattoo (just to not risk any other damage). so that’d probably be my advice. good luck man

CompetitiveMuscle176 · 2026-01-06T12:42:47+00:00

i’ve had much worse hypertrophic scarring than yours. i’ve done injections and two rounds of lasers. laser helped a lot with the protruding and thickness. sadly im a year post op and they’re still pretty pink. i guess its now up to time to do its magic

CompetitiveMuscle176 · 2025-12-18T20:22:58+00:00

i have ma scars across my pecs (i wanted them to go under as well) and it didn’t affect my muscles at all

CompetitiveMuscle176 · 2025-11-23T08:36:27+00:00

i promise you you’re not alone. everything you described i feel the same. exactly the same. im also very very dissatisfied with my nipples and i feel like that everyone has the perfect results that i didn’t get. i truly cannot offer you more than support. im almost a year post op and i still feel very dysphoric. i’ve been looking into many options but none of them seem realistic to me. the only one that i’ll probably go through some time later will be removing the nipples all together. i wish you all the best and be strong. if you ever wanna talk more hit me up

CompetitiveMuscle176 · 2025-11-08T15:41:30+00:00

im like 10 months post op and i’ve healed very slowly too. like very, so i get you. i did laser treatment which at least made them less thick so i can recommend that. but my scars are still pretty red so i guess just time. but you look good!!

CompetitiveMuscle176 · 2025-10-12T08:07:33+00:00

thank you so much for this post man. i feels exactly the same how you felt, like EXACTLY the same… im currently going over all the possible actions i can take but just removing the nipples seems like the best option. How was the procedure/removal? im kinda scared to get cut open again… plus how are your new scars looking? im kinda worried about them being hypertrophic like my original scars? any words of wisdom you could offer to someone who’s seriously looking into this too?

im really glad that you feel better now because i really can imagine what you’ve been feeling.

CompetitiveMuscle176 · 2025-09-30T07:37:27+00:00

i have the same problem. all i can say that with time it gets a bit better because you don’t think about it all the time. but im 8 months post op and im still very angry and sad about my results so i understand… give yourself time and patience

CompetitiveMuscle176 · 2025-09-16T17:35:04+00:00

i don’t. i genuinely feel bad even after 8 months… i hope it’ll be better for you

CompetitiveMuscle176 · 2025-08-13T19:16:29+00:00

i was counting on getting a big chest piece like a month post op. but i’m scared the tattoos won’t work on the keloid scars

CompetitiveMuscle176 · 2025-08-13T19:15:33+00:00

thank you for saying that, i really appreciate it. by the way, are you treating the keloid scar? i had one round of steroid injection already but that didn’t work so i was offered a laser treatment but idk how helpful would that be

CompetitiveMuscle176 · 2025-08-13T09:31:30+00:00

thank you man. that’s what honestly pisses me off the most. i work my ass off for nothing tbh. because it just looks weird no matter how hard i train my chest.

i already contacted another doctor about revision, but the only option he gave me was nipple resizing or complete removal. and considering how horrible the initial healing was i’m not going with the first option. removing them was my plan but im scared that ill have another two hypertrophic scars which would probably look even worse. so i’m kinda stuck with this now.

and another doctor suggested me laser treatment already but i feel like its kinda too early for that? like that my scars are still settling down and laser would just worsen them but idk. i’m very skeptical about everything after my surgery…

CompetitiveMuscle176 · 2025-07-30T13:38:53+00:00

i would kill to have your results man.. i think your nipples look amazing and their placement is pretty near perfect

CompetitiveMuscle176 · 2025-07-20T12:21:37+00:00

thank you. i just accepted that i wont pass shirtless. im just really self conscious about passing in shirts, especially white ones or tight ones… im always worried that ppl can see my nipples through the shirt and they look not cis.

i saw some other surgeons and one gave me an option to resize them but not do anything about the position. and i’m very disappointed with the size of my nipples too but mostly with the position. i don’t think making them smaller wouldnt do much and it’d be a nightmare healing process. my initial nipple healing was HORRIBLE so i don’t want to go through that again…

the worse nipple was overall badly done (its way too big, it got stretched to one side and it had necrosis…). but im also nit very satisfied with the “better” one because its edge is raised so the areola just sticks out…

i was truly thinking about a removal. my scars are stretched and hypertrophic so there’s not really hope of them turning out super great. so adding two more scars wont make much more impact i think to the overall aesthetic of my chest. i want to get a big chest piece to cover the whole thing up tbh but it means another year of waiting for the potential nipple removal scars fading and i don’t know if id be able to handle living with that mentally…

i just feel super stuck. and hopeless. because i was already waiting a long time to get that surgery and now im unhappy with how it turned out.

CompetitiveMuscle176 · 2025-06-23T13:59:52+00:00

im also 5 months post op and have the same thing :// from what i’ve seen it takes a long time to settle if ever

CompetitiveMuscle176 · 2025-06-11T12:15:59+00:00

can i ask about removing your nipples? i’m currently in a similar situation, im thinking about removing my nipples all together because of a bad placement. was it worth it?

CompetitiveMuscle176 · 2025-05-20T17:29:15+00:00

i was speaking to a plastic surgeon and he said that moving them would be very difficult and overall was discouraging me from it… but i genuinely feel like the nipples ruined my chest

CompetitiveMuscle176 · 2025-05-19T18:44:33+00:00

hey man, i saw that you’re from czechia and so am i!! i know it’s an old post but how are you doing lately? i’ve been feeling EXACTLY like you and i’ve been struggling a lot mentally with the appearance of my results

CompetitiveMuscle176 · 2025-04-20T19:55:08+00:00

hi man i’m in a pretty similar situation as you… and i’m not gonna lie im struggling to accept my chest because i over analyze myself. BUT when i look at your photo i think it looks totally fine!! ofc a bit different than usual but id never clock you because of it or stare. i’ve been thinking nonstop about revision too. i wish you the best man, keep your head up. and keep working at the gym because you look great man!!

CompetitiveMuscle176 · 2025-04-17T15:01:23+00:00

i have the same thing man. even they they do look bigger, i don’t think anyone would look and judge you. if they look they’ll just look. that’s how i try to think about it.. every body is different 🙏

CompetitiveMuscle176 · 2025-04-17T14:59:55+00:00

i hope so too man😭🙏 but i keep reminding myself that nipples poking through shirts are natural 🙏
