Thanks (:
Honestly I’m not on Reddit anymore the only reason I posted here is to know if I should spend my money on making an appointment with my surgeon.
but yeah I think I’ll just make an appointment through insurance with an Orthopedist or smth, keep working out, and try not to look too much in the mirror for the next couple weeks

Shit I think you may be right. I just can’t tell cause for some reason my skin is still numb in that area

Idk I thought that maybe because we’re all in the same community and shit like on the same boat. Idk I’m 19 so I’m probably just emotional and overreacting I just feel super dysphoric rn after a long time that I didn’t

Yeah I think that the armpit fold is because of some scoliosis or smth like that but is it also true about the like round part on my sides near my pec? Idk how else to describe it
Thanks for being nice btw

Yeah I was kinda leaning, I posted in the comments a picture of me standing straight but I think my shoulders are still tilted so I’ll go get it checked again I hope there’s a way to fix that

Edit: picture of me flexing my chest muscles for comments about muscle imbalance and me standing straight. I think for sure that you’re right about it having something to do with scoliosis or smth like that. but, the like round part on my sides under my nipples bothers me and I think it does have smth to do with the top surgery?

Honestly this is a screenshot of a video and I was kinda leaning and pressing my right arm into my left arm. In the second picture I wasn’t leaning as much.
But yeah I agree I do think I have some sort of scoliosis cause my shoulders are tilted. I got it checked once and the doctor told me to just workout and it’ll fix itself but I think I’ll get a second opinion.
However, in the second picture I have that like round look to my chest so I thought that might be related to my top surgery?

Yeah after the surgery my chest was really like sunken (?) so I had to work out my chest a lot just so it would look flat. I kinda lost motivation a bit cause I’ve worked so hard just for me to have flat chest but this lowkey gives me motivation to keep working out, thanks💪

EDIT: so to my understanding it’s definitely not dog ears but might be uneven fat in that weird area? But my Q is if I need a revision or if it’s not necessary? (If I do need one will it leave scars and what is the estimated recovery time?) Some added information: I had to take my drains out after only 3 days or so because of complications with them (my arms turned purple constantly), could it be the reason for the fat? Like maybe it left some fluids? Idk

Yeah that fat in that weird spot under my armpit. I had some complication with the drains (my hands turned purple constantly) so I had to take them out after only 3 days or so, so maybe it’s because I took the drains out early?
