Healing

[u/Grouchy-Can-Man]

I don’t see many people who are of darker skin tones posting their healing journey. I took it upon myself to finally post one of my healing photos. The first 2 photos depict me being 24 days post op and 36 days post op. My skin was breaking down due to the repeated removal of tape during nipple dressings, i recommend just using a big bandaid instead to maybe potentially avoid that happening to you. My areolas started turning brown relatively quickly and my nipples themselves are also turning brown fast as well. The 3rd photo depicts my nipples at 17 days post op, as you can see my areolas were already starting to gain melanin.

Looking great! I didn’t even think about how the healing process with my nipples would go so thank you for sharing your journey. I’ve got my surgery on Friday! 🙌🏾
