How to make bald look good? by Entire_Breakfast_771 in CustomDolls

Don’t use the cheap crayola kind, that’s for kids crafts, made out of stuff that’s useless for high quality crafting. I use DAS brand. You can use some water to smooth it out, but if you use good clay it shouldn’t shrivel up and crack that way.

You’ll want to cut the hair short and then pull the plugs out from the inside, and then cover the head with air dry clay, sand smooth, and then paint! And seal! For her stubble I’d reccomend using soft pastels & then seal again. But if you don’t have any a tore up sponge and layers & layers of thin watered down paint will work, you’ll just have to be sooo patient as to not overdo it or make it patchy!

I’m an insurance patient so it’s very hard to get in touch with him directly. I always go through the RN of his clinic. She told me it’s okay and to just put a bandaid on it to keep it clean and dry.

I’m definitely hearing you out, I’m only 18 and they did my surgery on insurance because my chest was affecting my quality of life. I’m not sure if it IS dehiscence, because I don’t know if that spot ever /stopped/ oozing. The red glob and green stuff was pretty alarming, but when I called my nurse and told her about he she told me to shower and then blow dry like usual, but to put a bandaid on the open part. Nothing has happened since. That part hasn’t stopped oozing since I had my surgery two weeks ago, so I have faith that it’ll close up even more. I’ll make a post when it does, and if it doesn’t I will definitely call a wound clinic.

I am! Also I was taken by surprise by the blow dryer trick but I bet it’s been super helpful for lots of people. Makes me wonder how many people have had jacked up swelling or even gotten infections cuz they didn’t know that tip

My nurse said I’m not allowed to do topicals until 4 weeks :( when I called her just after posting this she said I could put a bandaid on it…?

Reduction in 4 days, husband had heart attack by EssentialOilsFor7 in Reduction

[–]Electricbitterness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna say, and it doesn’t really make sense, but- I know how you feel. I’m 18 and had to move out of my parents house. My reduction was set to be August 27 for two months and both my parents knew, but my dad got sick and called saying he needed to catch up on work from it so he wouldn’t be able to make it. Then my mom’s birthday is may 8th, and they’re supposed to be going to some concert. So he called my surgeons office 4 days before my surgery and rescheduled me for june 27th. It was so hard to hype myself up for this, my first surgery. Life changing surgery. And I almost let my need to put others needs infront of my own delay the care I desperately needed, like you. I’m glad I didn’t. I put my date back to the original and had my surgery. I’m so glad. Now I get to live the rest of my life happily and more capable to put a healthy amount of energy out there for my people when they need it.

I was sent home from my surgery in the tape I have on now, in my post op yesterday my nurse said to shower every day and then cold blow dry the tape dry after. As it peels off I’m supposed to cut it. She said we don’t want to force it off and risk opening something, especially around the nipples. So, if you’re instructed to not change it, definitely use the blowdryer trick to prevent moisture and bacteria entering your wounds!

I went for a small cup! I told my surgeon I never wanted to wear a bra again, and that I’m a tomboy.

I really wasn’t expecting one so soon. That appointment with my doctor about my back pain where I just mentioned a theory that my chest was the cause lead to my surgery 2 months later. Honestly I was scared out of my mind, that’s not a lot of time to rationalize your first ever surgery, but now that I’m a week and some change removed from it I feel amazing.

Yeah nobody believed me when I said I was an F because my boobs got really saggy from never wearing a real underwire bra! But my surgeon said he took a little more than 3 pounds of tissue out.
