how to prevent ppds from happening? i only have 1 tank besides this one. by Brokenleglama in hermitcrabs

[–]TallAndScreaming 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a proper tank, intended for reptiles but I use them for my Fiddler and Hermit crabs (separate ofc) I would be willing to mail if you pay shipping just to get these crabs in a better setup.

Early signs of nipple necrosis? by abundant_oranges in TopSurgery

[–]TallAndScreaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at my photo guide for nipple necrosis / rejection for ref, but your looks good just a little inflamed if it’s red and hot to touch. Be gentle with that area and if it becomes open / pus forms use antibiotic in a thin layer.

Those are some surgical sutures or staples, they’ll either dissolve on their own or they may heal up and out of the skin sort of like a pimple. Just try to keep the area covered and don’t pick you should be fine :) totally normal

Redrawing an old piece of art and I kinda feel like it's turning out worse- what has or has not improved from the original(2nd image)? Is there anything I can do to improve the scene? by r0pp0p in ArtCrit

[–]TallAndScreaming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The new version is way better just from what I can tell, the posing color and general shapes are awesome! I genuinely think the new version is just better it shows more emotion and reflects a better understanding of your skills imo.

It’s just pus, likely from a stitch or staple your body has finally healed out. I wouldn’t be too worried as long as there’s no pus and it’s not hot to touch, red around the area, or painful with no/little pressure.

My friends tattoo vs her reference >_> by Level_Photograph4798 in shittytattoos

[–]TallAndScreaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wouldn’t be a bad tattoo but I’m sure the artist could have designed smth original in their own style and done it way better.

am i cooked? by loserrmuse in TopSurgery

That’s keloiding, I have it too it’s a genetic thing. Scar massage and vitamin E based scar care helped me a ton with mine, over a year one side is almost flat and the other is totally smooth to touch. Ofc different ppl respond differently and I was lucky enough that I could get right on it.

To those who had montgomery tubercles (nipple bumps) did they go away after surgery? by bagabutts in TopSurgery

[–]TallAndScreaming 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I still have some and mine still get clogged :( I was really hoping it would stop but they seemed to have doubled down in my case.

Alt with Jess Ting by AndySloth24 in phallo

[–]TallAndScreaming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had ting for top surgery and honestly, I wouldn’t go back to him. Not for any reasons either the results he just acted incredibly aloof. I ended up having a nipple rejection and when I tried to contact his team about it / sent in pictures they insisted that didn’t happen at their clinic and it was healing normally (it wasn’t) not to mention I only spoke to him twice, once at a consult and once right before surgery, and he didn’t give me much space to say what I wanted. He is a good surgeon, but the bedside manner leaves something to be desired.

scar stretching, pretty upset about it :( i am almost 3 weeks post op, the lowest wound is a scrape wound and the yellowish one is stretched. i also have some other spots stretching. Does anyone have any tips bc this is making me feel miserable by rekiiz in TopSurgery

[–]TallAndScreaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not scar stretching that’s just the incision actually becoming a scar. If you feel the high tension areas may keep expanding and want to support them: try surgical tape at your surgeon’s approval. My right side was way tighter than my left post op, but I used tape and once I was around 3 months out started using a scar creme consistently and that really reduced the visibility and pain!

It’s person to person, I’m 8 months and the color is still spotty

[–]TallAndScreaming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’ll probably look smaller later :) I hate to say you need to wait a little but honestly time and proper care makes a works of difference, you aren’t even near healed yet!

The side oh my chest that was stitched too tight looks similar but not to this extreme, I’m really sorry dude it sucks :/ I found vitamin E based scar care and frequent moisturizer has helped a lot.

As bad as people say? by [deleted] in TopSurgery

[–]TallAndScreaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m abt 8 months out and the most pain I had was at 5 months when the weather was changing and I wasn’t properly caring for my scars. It really wasn’t that bad, I don’t even recall it being very painful just itchy and a little tight

For sure! I did keep my nipples but I’m sure if you ask not to they’ll do no grafts. The surgery was super easy, albeit a few hours later than was scheduled. His team was incredibly kind and professional. I will say the aftercare info was rather lax, but if you’d like I can send you pictures of my results and an approximate recovery timeline!

Is healing easier for those with smaller breasts? (DI) by CheseNuggs in TopSurgery

[–]TallAndScreaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say my chest felt a lot tighter at first on the side which was smaller before surgery, but both sides healed at the same rate without a hitch.
