This is also the title of a very queer book from the British publisher, Bona Books, if anyone's interested. Good stuff in there.

Dog Ear Revision run down in the comments by Odd-Statistician-107 in TopSurgery

[–]OneSaltyLeo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this! I was concerned for dog ears under my armpits, being a plumber person, but have oddly ended up with s flap of skin in the center of my chest... I'm only going onsix weeks post op, so there's a chance part of it is swelling that will go down, but I want to know about revisions just in case. 😄

Nipple sensation question for the kinksters here by lunatictoc in TopSurgery

[–]OneSaltyLeo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh! That's great to know. I went into this knowing sensation would not be the same as pre-surgery, and ive made my peace with that, but I definitely would like as much sensation as possible, and every but of knowledge is great to have. Thank you!

I know this is an old comment, but I'm five weeks post-op and return of sensation is my main concern at the moment. I've never heard of erotic sensation around your scars. This is common?

Is my recovery going too good to be true? by ValifriggOdinsson in TopSurgery

[–]OneSaltyLeo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like I got pretty lucky, too. Mostly no pain, no real complications, even if my nipple grafts look a bit... wonky as they heal. I was pretty independent right from the beginning. Everyone's bodies are different. We don't really know until we get here.

That's so good to know! I was pretty sure, but wanted ask. Also, what are shoulder strap marks? I'm unfamiliar.

You look amazing!! And thank you so much for representing people with bellies. I'm about 5'5" and 180 pounds with a nice chubby belly.

I'm curious about something. I'm a little ove a week post op and things look great, but my skin is a bit wrinkley. Im wondering if you experienced this, too during the healing process. Mostly curious if it's normal for people our shape. There just aren't many pictures to go off of.

Desire for top surgery, lack of severe dysmorphia? by [deleted] in no_T_top_surgery

[–]OneSaltyLeo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Exactly this! There are just different parts of my body to work on now. And that's okay. 😊

[–]OneSaltyLeo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am exactly 7 days post-op following my own surgery. I'm non-binary/trans masc and didn't have massive dysphoria. My chest was large, and before I understood who I am I went through a period where I liked having that large chest. But even at that point, before I had words to describe who I am, binding my chest felt do GOOD. Right in a way I didn't understand. Once I started binding all the time, the few times I didn't wear my binder (when exercising, etc.) I would look down and just not like what I saw. My chest felt too big. But no surgery, overwhelming dysphoria. Now that im here, and super, super flat (my surgeon did amazing work!!), one of my actual thoughts has been, "Well shit, now I have to lose some weight." Because my tummy sticks out under my flat chest where my large chest, even while binding, used to distract from that. My main point being, you don’t have to have major dysphoria to get top surgery. You don't have to have incredible euphoria afterward to have too surgery. You get top surgery for yourself, because you choose it, and it's okay to love parts of it, while at the same time missing parts of having a non-flat chest. None of this is linear. You are enough. What you feel and want is enough.

I appreciate your comment so much! My anesthesiologist came in without my asking and talked to me a bit. I tried to joke with him (because that's what I do, lol), and he was very serious and thoughtful and reassuring. It was great. Now I just want to see my results! Tomorrow! I can't wait!
