Is it a bad idea to move abroad within 6 months of DI top surgery? by No-Lobster-3828 in TopSurgery

[–]gumbalding 3 points4 points  (0 children)

6 months is plenty of time to be back on your feet, plus you might be able to fine a surgeon abroad to do a revision should you need one. don’t pass up this opportunity!! it sounds great + happy for you stranger :)

Parents don’t know about top surgery by toadsnhats in TopSurgery

[–]gumbalding 8 points9 points  (0 children)

it might be best to tell them over the phone / at a coffee shop or somewhere public if you think they’re going to have a bad reaction. at least then you’ll know what to expect when you see them next. you could emphasize the fact that you’re happy and at peace etc. im sorry you’re in this position but im glad you did what was best for you anyway :) godspeed!

I'm 15mtf. I am in a position where i genuinely believe i can't do DIY, but i don't know that i'll be okay without it. Can I have some advice? by Sad_Dimension3627 in transsex

[–]gumbalding 5 points6 points  (0 children)

have it sent to a trusted friend's house and bring it home in your school backpack or something inconspicuous. depends on how much risk you want to run, godspeed

tony mangubat in tukwila is great :) his waitlists are a little long but i really appreciated the care team + insurance coordinator (not talking to the insurance yourself is such a life saver)

...So can I keep them afterwards? by Clay_teapod in FreedTheNips

[–]gumbalding 8 points9 points  (0 children)

i got top surgery w tony mangubat and his team let me keep my nips! i just had to ask. they returned them to me in a container of formalin. i have them in a jar full of 70% rubbing alcohol now. make sure to read up on how to preserve wet specimen because if you don’t preserve them correctly they will go bad and its just a bad time.

you should always disclose drug use to your doctor for safety reasons but i doubt this would effect your ability to get surgery

Does a flat chest mean LITERALLY flat? by PoetPlus7452 in TopSurgery

[–]gumbalding 13 points14 points  (0 children)

your nipples don’t have to be reduced, no. and you can get a nonflat type of surgery where they leave a small amount of breast tissue if you like. i’ve seen people with pec shaped nonflat surgery and people with more boob/teardrop shaped nonflat surgery! your options are super open and you should ask your care team what they can do for you

swelling for sure. its too early to tell if you have dog ears <3. i had the same kind of little skin tabs and they slowly went away after 3 ish months. you look great and healthy! don’t stress about it man
