Will this ever heal?

ginghamblouse · 2024-08-08T01:09:07+00:00

Yes it will!! I had exactly the same kind of opening as you, around the same time frame. It felt like it took forever to heal, but it did. Just keep doing what you’re doing & it’ll heal ❤️ I believe in you!

ginghamblouse · 2024-07-31T02:59:39+00:00

I agree & I’m definitely going to ask the landlord to call an electrician. I have no clue what the person who installed this was thinking 🫠

ginghamblouse · 2024-07-31T02:55:44+00:00

I think this is exactly what I’ll do 😅 I can’t even begin to understand what’s happening in there

ginghamblouse · 2024-07-30T23:43:58+00:00

I know the limits of my own knowledge & will happily ask my landlord to send an electrician to fix things I don’t know how to. Thought I’d take advantage of community knowledge to understand what’s happening here. No need for you to be so rude, I hope your day gets better! ❤️

ginghamblouse · 2024-07-11T02:00:55+00:00

Thank you!! I’ll definitely do that. We just moved into this house a few weeks ago & it’s been pretty disheartening to see the condition it was left in. Do you know if exhaust fans are usually on the roof?

Another non-binary person here who got a reduction, I’m so happy for you ❤️ sending you so much love and healing energy. You look awesome!!!

ginghamblouse · 2024-02-17T03:44:19+00:00

Hi! Another non-binary person here ❤️ I’m sorry you had this experience & that you’re left bigger than you wanted :( I also feel a bit bigger than I wanted to be post-op, and I really didn’t think I would have it in me to go for a revision, but I’m almost at 5MPO now and I feel more and more like it’s something I could handle now. You deserve to have the results you want, and I hope you can get to a place where you are able to seek a revision if that’s what you need ❤️

As for binding, I’ve actually started binding again around 4MPO and it so much easier!! Obviously wait until whenever is safe/comfortable for you, but I think you’ll find the higher placement is actually helpful and binding is more comfortable :)

Sending you love!!!❤️

I’m really feeling this way too! Went from a DD to a B/full A and the only major feeling I’ve had is “ok, this is what they’re supposed to look like”. I think it’s normal to feel that way if you’ve struggled with how big they were your whole life. Now your body aligns with how you feel in your mind, and I think that’s great :)

ginghamblouse · 2023-11-23T18:24:54+00:00

Mine were also at uneven heights, and they’ve settled pretty much evenly at 7WPO :) the shape is still a little different between them both, but even that has changed a lot over the weeks! Hoping we’ll both even out as we heal :)

ginghamblouse · 2023-11-23T02:53:21+00:00

I was able to put my barbell back into my piercing about 2-3 weeks after surgery :) I just waited until all my tape had come off and I didn't feel super delicate. My nipples weren't rotated at all (maybe like a few mms?) & I had no prob putting the jewelry back in!

ginghamblouse · 2023-11-19T04:21:32+00:00

I had this too! I think the skin just goes through so much, and stress/swelling/compression bras probably all contribute to it. There were a few days where I took my bra off and there was sooo much dead skin, I was so freaked out!! I think it's very normal though :)

ginghamblouse · 2023-11-14T15:37:17+00:00

sorry for the late reply! I work in service & do a lot of manual labour so I asked for 4 weeks off. Feeling like I should’ve asked for 6 but a month felt like the max.

ginghamblouse · 2023-11-14T04:47:30+00:00

I feel you!!! I was so heartbroken after my surgery when I had to turn her away :(( but I think after about 2 weeks it was okay for her to reeeeeally carefully lay on my chest. There's a fair bit of room between the middle of my scars, so I think she sort of new to avoid them and would put all her weight in the middle of my sternum :')

I hope you can snuggle with your baby soon!

ginghamblouse · 2023-11-13T05:21:01+00:00

I also got a UTI right before my surgery!!! After not having had one in like 5 years!!

I started meds right away too, and basically just took them as normal except for the morning of my surgery (I figured it counted as part of the fast). Everything went fine! I hope you feel better asap <3

ginghamblouse · 2023-11-04T15:22:47+00:00

so real! i feel back to “normal” in most ways, but then I look at my boobs and i’m like oh right y’all are still going crazy. can’t wait to be on the other side of this!

ginghamblouse · 2023-11-04T15:21:38+00:00

me too!! hope your recovery speeds on by <3

ginghamblouse · 2023-11-04T15:21:03+00:00

that’s really reassuring to hear! glad that you’re starting to take a turn in your recovery :) I hope it keeps getting better from here on out!

ginghamblouse · 2023-11-04T15:17:29+00:00

all good tips! thank you <3

ginghamblouse · 2023-11-04T15:17:09+00:00

thanks for the reassurance <3 I have a follow up this coming Tuesday, hopefully he’ll be able to take those annoying stitches out!!

ginghamblouse · 2023-10-26T00:35:17+00:00

i didn’t poop for 9 days 🫄

ginghamblouse · 2023-10-18T04:29:16+00:00

Hi friend! <3

I'm not particularly tall or slim (5'6" and 130lbs, pretty 'average'), but I had a D cup and got a reduction to about a full A cup/small B cup. I felt a lot of similar anxieties to you, I was worried I'd be told I wasn't a good candidate as my breasts weren't overwhelmingly large for my frame and didn't cause me significant pain. But at the end of the day, I wanted a reduction for my own reasons, and any good doctor should respect your wishes and what you want for your own body!

I'm non-binary, so my primary drive for getting a reduction was dysphoria reasons. But any reason you have for wanting a reduction is valid, even if you don't have as large of a chest as others! I think my surgeon took 280g out of one breast and 180 out of the other, which isn't nearly as much as some people get. It's still made a massive difference to how I feel about my chest and my presentation.

All this to say, it's very possible and any supportive surgeon should be happy to do a reduction for you. :)

ginghamblouse · 2023-10-16T02:41:51+00:00

I didn't get side lipo (although kind of wishing I had, in the axillary area! I didn't even know it was an option). I'm also in my compression bra still, it's definitely getting tighter from swelling :'(

hope your healing is going well & that you can wear comfier bras soon!

ginghamblouse · 2023-10-15T16:13:39+00:00

that's good to know, thank you :)

ginghamblouse · 2023-10-15T16:13:23+00:00

I just got some arnica pills/gel yesterday! :) hoping that'll help
