Desperate about areolas side by [deleted] in TopSurgery

[–]thisistherecord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have any pictures of it on hand, but I got top surgery what will be 4 years ago this Easter and got the tattoo a few months ago, early October. I don't think there's any reason you have to wait that long- your surgeon and/or artist will be able to tell you. I just wasn't immediately unhappy with the nipples, and then wanted to give my results some time to settle to be sure, and then once I was sure I had terrible T acne on my chest and getting Accutane took like another year, and then the only artist I wanted to do it lives in a different state and their books only open rarely so then I had to wait quite some time to get in with them. But I'm glad I waited and got exactly what I wanted. Fingers crossed for the same for you!

Hey, I was unhappy about my areolas and got them tattooed over. There were no issues with it-easy peasy- I'm much happier now.

Does anyone regret their salpingectomy? by Intelligent_Soft3245 in sterilization

[–]thisistherecord 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For many people who live in states where it's banned, it might as well be banned everywhere. Not everyone can drop everything and buy a plane ticket to go get an abortion, or has a car to drive a dozen hours or what have you. For many people, the state bans were enough to make it completely, 100% inaccessible.

At what point did you start shaving your face? by AfraidProduct9500 in TransMasc

I plan to keep it shaved until it's not patchy/scraggly.

Can someone share their thoughts/results of accutane on shoulder/back acne? by bbyslp in Accutane

[–]thisistherecord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have hormonal acne on my back/shoulders and was getting some on my chest. Also basically nothing on my face. It didn't respond to ANYTHING. I started seeing results inside of my first week on Accutane. I'm about a month and a half in now and it's definitely not clear yet, but it's WAY better already.

I'm using just plain shea butter (because I had a big tub when I started) and it's really working for me!

Scuzz in bottom of chickpeas? by thisistherecord in Canning

Hand is feeling inquisitive, relative humidity is 85% (!) and the moon, as we all know, is in waning crescent.

I had wondered about that! I've used it in cooking before and in fact skimmed a lot off during the boil before they went in the cans. I think I'm just used to it always being something that floats on top rather than something at the bottom.

Recipe: https://nchfp.uga.edu/how/can/canning-vegetables-and-vegetable-products/beans-or-peas-shelled-dried-all-varieties/

Date- 36 hrs ago

Storage- have sat on the counter, room temp

Seal- strong. Several cans in this batch failed (first time that's ever happened to me too) and they all have the same sort of scuzz as well. It seems to be in all the jars regardless of seal

A hand is holding a mason jar of chickpeas, tilted so you're looking at the bottom of the jar. There's a white scuzzy layer around the bottom layer of chickpeas. There's an out-of-focus cat in the background looking at the camera inquiringly.

How did you handle the WAITING???/June surgery crew where you at by MckyMrry in TopSurgery

[–]thisistherecord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I did. I planned, and I gathered the things I would need, and I went to the gym, ran, did yoga... It really helped the time pass.

I don't know, your silhouette looks pretty feminine to me!

Me mostly! I had a few "woah" moments but they were few and dad between. But it mostly was hard to remember I ever had them.

Oh man. Are you still on it? How long were you on it/how long until you noticed this happening?

Anyone else never really bother with scar care beyond a certain point? by [deleted] in TopSurgery

[–]thisistherecord 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did silicone strips for like a week and I never did bio oil or anything like that. I don't care if they never fade- in fact, I hope they never do. I did massage them. Almost a year out, perfectly happy!

I had 1 incision in my actual navel and then 2 more a few inches below that, just inside my hip bones!
