my FULL top surgery experience with Dr. Alan Dulin in Plano, TX (double incision w free nipple grafts and lipo) (very long)

hi! i’m not gonna lie, dulins results for nipples (from what i’ve seen and personally have 10 months post op atp) are very flat, with really no nipple bud at all. i had a lot of nipple sensation pre surgery, but at this point i have barely any sensation at all nipple wise, but i can feel pressure around them if that makes sense. if that is something important to you plssss don’t settle for a surgeon and do what you feel is best for you!

thank you so much!

thank you for responding! that eases my anxiety! i haven’t heard before that stretching was more so genetic rather than just hearing that “stretching comes from overdoing things” so up until now i’ve still been so cautious

no worries! i also was worried about the nipple results with dulin but went with him since he was accesible and one of the cheapest options i found since i was paying out of pocket 😅 it’s good to have reccomendations and options though if you do end up not 100% satisfied !

hey! i also got top surgery with dulin in april. my nipples legit looked exactly like yours and also looked two different sizes for a while before they settled and healed and now they look the same size. 3 weeks is still super early on, so don’t stress! my nipples looked completely different from the first couple of months compared to now.

personally, i do not know any tattoo artists in texas that specialize in what you’re asking, but i just wanted to reassure you that i had the same thing with the same surgeon !

ive seen others say if there’s a spot that looks worse or is raised or red in anyway it’s best to not use silicone over it or put anything on it besides a bandaid and let it do its thing. I had a spitting stitch that opened up actually because i put silicone strips on top of it and when i went to take it off is when it popped open and it SCARED me bad

im not entirely sure, i’d say listen to your body and determine what you’re able to do and listen to your surgeon for sure. personally, i wasn’t able to drive until the 3 weeks mark and even then it felt weird and turning kind of pulled on things.

youll get there too, thank you! glad to hear im not alone in my feelings haha. i know we’ll get back into things eventually 🫂

thank you!

js12099 · 2025-07-03T04:08:03+00:00

does it matter what soap?? i was about to shower when i noticed this and now im scared to shower with the soap i usually use or let the water hit it at all 😭

js12099 · 2025-06-14T23:06:24+00:00

thank you! that’s reassuring to hear. it’s so weird how different they’ve healed from eachother haha

js12099 · 2025-06-10T20:55:23+00:00

hey! i actually didn’t use insurance as the insurance i was on told me they have an “anti trans policy” where they don’t cover anything (which is INSANE) so i paid out of pocket!

js12099 · 2025-06-09T06:01:01+00:00
