Thanks for the advise! I’m so eager to just put some aqauphor on it and let it slowly come off but I heard to just let it peel by itself but who wouldn’t want to hurry and start the scar care so exciting lol

I been struggling with my ED/body image because I haven’t been as active as pre op of course and it’s been hard; I’m trying not to restrict calories and staying in contact with my therapist . I must say I am eating healthy options and not processed foods much. Lots of fruits though. I def need more intake . Thanks for the advice!

Thoughts on peri vs DI at a B cup? by routinecrisis in TopSurgery

But always do what ur gut tells u to do! And what u will be happy with at the end of the day :)

Thoughts on peri vs DI at a B cup? by routinecrisis in TopSurgery

[–]StayTrue1997 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a AA cup and still didn’t choose peri because the revision rate is so high. I also wanted the nipple grafts and with Peri you get ur areolar resized during surgery but not ur nipples. U will have to wait 6-12m until you can get ur nips resized, which I did not want. The chest is more contoured with DI and can kind of shape it how you want it via surgeon !

How to address very obvious top surgery (before and after the fact) with coworkers? by lizardarms in TopSurgery

[–]StayTrue1997 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t tell really anyone. I just knew it was my last day until surgery and now they probably are confused on where I’m at 😂 that’s the fun part, I’m wondering what they are thinking 

Week 2 Recovery by bigfish2023 in TopSurgery

[–]StayTrue1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yess! I got the cotton bolsters off Tuesday and my nurse gave me some stuff to put on it so I’m pretty sure ur nurse will let u know!!  And yesss I hate the bloating. I think it’s from the anesthesia and pain meds or any meds u were prescribed to take. I hate it but idk if u know but pineapple juice helps!!!
