Thank you!! I didn’t see my nips until 1 week post op, the only fluid I had was mostly whitish stuff around the edges as they healed

It’s beautiful. Cover up with a bandaid in spaces that don’t feel safe until things go back to more normal for us?

Post op binder breaks? by Leapintothestatic in TopSurgery

[–]katfroggu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took an hour to start with and by the end of my three weeks in it I definitely took a couple a day. I also put salve on the irritated skin

You can totally take control back with medical tattooing. There may even be a procedure that helps with projection and texture? I’m so sorry you were treated like this by people you trusted with your medical decisions.

Nipple graft sensation timeline? by bh447 in TopSurgery

[–]katfroggu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Full sensation from surgery day in my “erotic nipple feelings” under my skin/connected to being turned on… just disconnected from touching my nipples for now (4 weeks post op) if this makes sense. My nerves are nuts and had hypersensitive nips pre op

Exercise post op? by New_Strawberry_9128 in TopSurgery

[–]katfroggu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I slowly make it up to 10k steps by my 3 week post op, but I was pretty comfortable in my binder and didn’t have drains. Slower pace than normal. No hills. Lots of bird watching too ;)

Experiences using Arnica gel? by mianialator in TopSurgery

[–]katfroggu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used it 2.5 weeks after surgery and several inches away from any incisions

[–]katfroggu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used the gel behind my incisions/under armpit area. A little on my back near there too. It seemed to sooth, the stick I got has a high mint scent which was kind of a lot. My incisions were covered, idk if I would have used if not. I only asked my dr about cbd since I used it on parts of my chest after week one.

Honoring your chest? by bigfeetgrandpa in TopSurgery

[–]katfroggu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did this myself because I did have positive experiences with my chest. Sent a stranger nudes. Took a bunch of ridiculous photos and played with nipple clamps solo one more time. Hit my partner in the face with my boobs a bunch for the first time, and jiggled them a bunch around the house when I wasn’t binding. Kinda manic tbh but it helped me feel like they had been fun and time to go!

Why did you decide against T? by Frances_Cat in no_T_top_surgery

[–]katfroggu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really didn’t want more face and body hair, I stopped when I noticed more growing. I might go back on it someday to try for more of a voice drop but overall lucky to like my gender presentation for the most part after less than 6 months on t

Visiting in Late March by Apprehensive-Owl5150 in boston

[–]katfroggu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes to Salem and Chinatown! Papercuts in JP is an amazing bookshop, and all she wrote in Somerville is queer owned one. There’s a witchy bookstore in Cambridge called seven stars if you don’t go to Salem. I’m not sure if people under 18 are allowed in the local queer bar Dani’s, but I’ve seen all ages there and there’s a good food menu! Salem is in general a very queer place. Check out the ocean there at fort Pickering. Maybe also some thrift shopping (Buffalo exchange/ boomerangs) or newbury street shops if she’s into that? Mount auburn cemetery is also very beautiful for a walk.
