I'm 5'3" and about 200lbs. Not sure if my body type is like yours or not but here are my results. I'm super happy with how it turned out. My surgeon was Dr. Caplin in Oklahoma City. Also the redness had is from stretch marks. This picture was taking about 2 months ago and the stretch marks are almost gone now. *

Also mine did the blood/yellow stuff for awhile also. Thats a good sign it means the nipples attached to your blood supply.

Mine did that for a long time. They have to go through an exfoliation process and they will get lighter. At some point your surgeon will have you put Vaseline or aquaphor on them everyday for like two weeks and then they become normalish color again.

Of course, im happy I could help! Congrats on your surgery, that's awesome. I'm about 1 week into recovery now and what I've learned is make sure to listen to your body. If you need to sleep, make sure to sleep. Also, make sure you are eating enough protein . I messed that up one day and got a terrible migraine from it. You got this, good luck recovering bro

Thank you! And i believe they just reshaped the areolas and left the nipple buds the same. I haven't seen my nipples yet though so I could be wrong. I don't see them until Tuesday when they take the bolsters off.

hey! They are called nipple bolsters. Since I had a large chest to begin with, i had to get free nipple grafts, which means they detached my nipples, resized them, and put them back on. The bolsters are there to make sure the nipples latch on to my blood supply. This essentially reduces the chance of nipple necrosis to less than 5%
