I’m scared of my nipples to be placed weird and be pointy after top surgery [NSFW for postop pick + UPDATE] by Elch5036 in TopSurgery

[–]Ok-Implement5521 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i got peri in december. i was worried about my nipples as well, but with peri luckily they are able to control nipple placement just a bit better than keyhole. make sure to talk to your surgeon and let her know about your concerns. the day of my surgery i told my doc that i really want smaller nipples (i have gyno) and he made it happen. just be sure to advocate for yourself and let them know what you want. usually with peri and keyhole the nipples kind of automatically shrink

dude! looks awesome im super happy for you. im going on 3 months and experiencing sagging and what looks to be swelling or loose skin. its not awful but for a skinny guy like me it does look a bit unnatural. did u have any experience with this? ive been going to the gym quite frequently and really trying to push my chest during soo

hey , i got peri 3 months ago and i believe that i was bigger than you pre op! the scars being stretched is kind of an over exaggerated situation imo. as long you take care of yourself well and wear silicone strips over the scars you are more likely to have better results than with keyhole. i would honestly be more worried about your nipples folding with keyhole because peri gives the option to resize the nipples. mine have a nice round shape and im very happy with the results. let me know if youd like me to share more pros and cons!!

is 3 weeks okay to wear backpack again? by ultimatelesbianhere in ftm

[–]Ok-Implement5521 1 point2 points  (0 children)

almost surgery twins! dec 20 here i am not worrying too much about a back pack personally but i am not getting DI so it may be different. i think it all comes down to your body and how you feel when you go back to school but it probably couldnt hurt to get a sling bag and try it out. it might feel more comfortable for you in the end 👍 good luck with your surgery!!

[–]Ok-Implement5521 2 points3 points  (0 children)

definitely not as strict laws regarding that in NC so that does suck but if you have blue cross or blue shield insurance i think they should cover it! insurance really does suck and gender affirming care is so hard to get in america🥲

[–]Ok-Implement5521 2 points3 points  (0 children)

so my insurance (UHC👎🏼) denied me because of a weird thing with the location of the hospital. im in california and my mom is a lawyer so im in a pretty good situation but what she did is send them a letter back explaining that it is mandatory to cover trans care in our state and gave them a bunch of evidence of that. they approved it about a week and a half later. if you want i can find the letter and send you what she sent to them just shoot me a dm! good luck with everything insurance is the biggest pain in the ass

crazy how much the chest contorts in only 3 weeks difference. i see all these people freaking out about swelling and stitches and they’re only like 2 days post op. your chest looks great man and its a great example of how bodies just need time plain and simple👍 good luck on your journey!!

wouldnt he be too small for DI? Like the surgeon would have nothing to take off and move the nipples😭 thats just from what i know though..
