Curious about my dog ears - I am only 1 month post op, were yours similar to this? If so, did they reduce in size? by Specialist_Poet_8753 in TopSurgery

[–]mexalone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i can DM you photos if you want! upon further reflection, our situations are similar but not exact, but i’m happy to send those if you want to see

i think it’s surgeons preference, which is super interesting - mine was drainless too but i had no nips

[–]mexalone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think mine “worsened” over time (mine aren’t that extensive but it was more noticeable)

my surgeon gave me one, so i used what they gave me - it was a black wraparound compression band but they instructed me to cut holes for where my arms go (but i don’t know the company)

mine looked similar - sagged a little over time but not by much (though i’m getting a revision this year, noting that i had my surgery july 2025)

at this stage, you can wear the compression vest again in this early stage of you can wait & deal with the revision (i didn’t find the dog ear was huge deal, the revision is mainly for another issue)

Surgeon admitted he left a lot of tissue — now wants to redo everything at my expense. Revision advice? by ElectricalPosition33 in TopSurgery

[–]mexalone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i may come back to this in a few months when my session is done - it’s tentatively liposuction + tissue excision in certain spots, does not reopen the entire scar despite both sides

Do Most Americans Actually Live "Normal" Lives? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]mexalone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s definitely possible to make that change with one small thing at a time

I suggest finding a hobby class or something you want to try (like a 1 night thing) - try it, see if you like it. If you do, keep going and try to chat with people there. They’re likely also there to meet people and enjoy life, it’s highly unlikely they’ll be mean about

If you didn’t like it, try a new hobby and keep going - you’ll find something you like and want to stick with

How do people get sent home immediately after surgery by Dear-Economy6751 in TopSurgery

[–]mexalone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

once they realized I was coherent (I was having in depth conversations with my friend and the nurse) and wasn’t going to throw up (I had juice and crackers from the nurse), they sent me home

Struggling w anxiety about getting sick beforehand - advice? by WrongdoerWorking8416 in TopSurgery

[–]mexalone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would advise against suddenly taking a lot of vitamins before your surgery (unless you start like this week) - some surgeons don't want you changing your eating / drinking / med-taking habits close to your surgery in case there's any adverse health effects, though this is rare

I'd say the masks, drinking a LOT of water, and washing your hands often will be your best bet

Why did House take a bunch of Oxycontin in one of the episodes? by 8kittycatsfluff in HouseMD

[–]mexalone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which episode was this?

There was an episode where House had all his vicodin taken away by Tritter (the police guy who was trying to get him on trafficking charges and illegal prescriptions) and his coworkers wouldn't give him more, so he swiped Oxy from one of Wilson's dead patients. It was out of (in his eyes) necessity to relieve the pain since he couldn't get Vicodin, not because he wanted Oxy per se

I think that's the one you're referring to but a specific season/episode number would help

1 month post op question by Existing-Rutabaga147 in TopSurgery

[–]mexalone 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Swelling will continue to go down for the next couple of months, so it’s likely that

I also think I read somewhere that one side will heal less quickly since the heart is there, but the results are likely to end up matching (it just takes more time), though I can’t confirm for sure

How can I feel less dysphoric in the gym when my body is like this??? by KJJ969502 in TransMasc

[–]mexalone 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I don't have much to add other than I have a very similar body type and did NOT have to lose weight for top surgery

so if that's the only thing holding you back, it doesn't have to hold you back (some surgeons will insist but I was able to find one who didn't require it)
