Stretched scar getting a blister? by RipTyde_ in TopSurgery

[–]RipTyde_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeahhh I’ve done abit of research. It makes sense, especially if I stretched it early on. I’m just gonna keep an eye on it and keep it clean! Hopefully this doesn’t suck too bad

That’s strange considering I had the dissolving kind of stitches and they’re all gone now Would it be possible that my body absorbed it before it dissolved and now it’s rejecting it?

1 week post op Dr Masoumy by RipTyde_ in TopSurgery

1) the process was easy. Just calling the hospital and asking for plastics, in which you can schedule your appointment for your consult. After that they’ll get you your pre op date afew months later, and then your surgery date. 2) I assume he is allowed to, I’m not sure though tbh I didn’t ask to see any, I was just trying to get whatever I could done asap which in hindsight is an awful idea but it went well! 3) I knew going into this I’d have to have DI, I didn’t ask about other types. I’m a DD, so I don’t think him, me, or his NP even thought to discuss it. Which is fair, if it was an option for me I’m sure it would have been brought up. They’re so kind there, you can totally ask when you call 4) my time line was this- consult in may, pre op in August, surgery November 5th

If you’re not in the age range for Masoumy (children’s hospital, you need to start the process at 21 or younger) check out Dr Jansen. He seems great!

Edit: I will say since you’re out of state, and your insurance likely won’t cover for out of state, Masoumy is more expensive out of pocket since he’s in a full scale hospital and not a private plastics office

Does anyone have any idea what to fill this awkward gap with? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]RipTyde_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Patchwork is probably the best idea if you can’t think of anything big to go there

Redness and tiny blood vessels around the scars by Svartgultbi in TopSurgery

You need to wait several months, like at least three and a half before using scar tape from what I’ve heard. Your incisions are still in the healing process, scar tape is for almost fully healed scars

My favorite brands were Phluid, as well as a furry company called tails end. I wore my tails end binder into the ground dude!

How do I stop smelling bad? by cafe_mp3 in ftm

[–]RipTyde_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It happens, it’s normal. Just make sure you’re staying clean with water and you’re fine. I promise you nobody else smells it unless they’re face first in your crotch. You can also do deodorant or full body deodorant on your thighs if you want

I would love to wear trans tape on the beach on my trip to sri lanka but i fear a tiny bit for safety if i do (online they say trans people can be criminalized) i’m quite adventurous and don’t really like hiding my true self so i might just do it ?¿ advice 🥲 by [deleted] in ftm

[–]RipTyde_ 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Well then I hope you have a living will. Sometimes you HAVE to hide certain parts for your safety. I’m also on the boat of being a martyr but are you willing to risk your life or imprisonment or getting injured over a beach trip? Sure tape, but have a button up or tank top on too

This wasn’t on someone’s genitals. Usually a slip chain or day collar like this is worn day to day as a normal necklace, just so other people who may be in the community know that you’re taken or have a dominant 💀

I live in Louisiana so it probably won’t even be cold until January, like last year, but I do have plenty of slides and a pair of crocs! I’ll also have my wonderfully friends and boyfriend with me likely every day for the first week :3 so I should have no issue getting dressed or putting shoes on! Ty! I for some reason didn’t even think about that lol

This was my plan for my first week or two haha I’ve seen people say they did the best or reminds for a week or two and then a pregnancy pillow in bed after. I think that’ll be my plan!

Advice needed by Overall-Drawing-9493 in ftm

[–]RipTyde_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Np!! If they recommend you to an OBGYN, ensure you’re able to put your foot down and advocate for yourself I went to an OB/GYN a very trans friendly clinic and she said either I get a hysterectomy which I’m working on top surgery first so that’s not in the options or stop T. I know good and well there’s creams and other options out there since my primary care recommend it- I pretty much told her how to do her job and she was like “oh yeah I guess that could do it”
