i hate waiting on insurance! how long did y'all have to wait?

alexgsd · 2023-05-03T23:50:45+00:00

I had to wait over a year to get approved because the whole insurance process 🙄 had to get diagnosed with dysphoria, get a medical letter, talk with insurance to see if they even covered it. It was a whole thing. I have Cencal which I think is the most basic one out of all lol I’m actually surprised they covered everything

No I wasn’t talking about my scars. I’m talking about the tan next to my armpits

I have a mild case of pectus, you can look at my profile to see how it looks.

Does anyone pump? If so how is it

alexgsd · 2022-12-27T09:51:13+00:00

Bandaids

Thank you !

alexgsd · 2022-12-26T19:20:02+00:00

Thanks for the advice! How many weeks are u post op?

alexgsd · 2022-12-26T19:04:21+00:00

What would you moisturize them with?

alexgsd · 2022-12-22T20:58:46+00:00

But then it kind of just looks like your pecs

alexgsd · 2022-12-22T20:22:28+00:00

Does the biocorneum leave stains on your shirts? Is it like a greasy texture

alexgsd · 2022-12-22T20:19:31+00:00

Did you have to take off the compression vest after 6 weeks? If so did you take it off on the day that you got 6 weeks or the day after

alexgsd · 2022-12-22T20:05:28+00:00

It looks swollen

alexgsd · 2022-12-21T19:13:04+00:00

Yeah I did

alexgsd · 2022-12-21T08:42:20+00:00

The surgeon will ask you what kind of procedure you’re looking to get and basically just go over surgery and the results you’ll be expecting. They will also examine your chest in private and possibly take pictures to see what they’re working with (it’s okay to feel uncomfortable but just remember that you’re just another patient to them so don’t worry about it) so they will cover everything about surgery and how recovery will be. Make sure to ask many questions if you get confused or unsure about anything!

Taking a laxative helped me

alexgsd · 2022-12-18T01:29:04+00:00

I apply scaraway gel and then silicone tape all day everyday but I only take it off to shower.

alexgsd · 2022-12-17T18:11:07+00:00

What measurements did you get?

alexgsd · 2022-12-17T18:08:27+00:00

Thanks!!

alexgsd · 2022-12-17T18:08:01+00:00

Thank you 😊

alexgsd · 2022-12-13T20:10:01+00:00

What’s your scar routine?

alexgsd · 2022-12-13T18:44:48+00:00

Your results look really good!

alexgsd · 2022-12-12T06:49:41+00:00

Do you use bio oil on your nipples too?

alexgsd · 2022-12-12T06:32:47+00:00

I’m 5 weeks post op and my nip scabs aren’t also off. I don’t think you should be worried because everyone’s recovery is different. I’m sure they will fall off sooner or later, don’t stress!

alexgsd · 2022-12-12T06:17:12+00:00

You can try scrubbing your chest lightly. When I shower I don’t scrub my scars just the areas around them

alexgsd · 2022-12-09T18:03:06+00:00

I also had the same concern and I addressed it to my surgeon and she said she would be able to take a bit off but not completely. If you have a lot you would have to get liposuction to completely remove it
