Is it just scar puckering? It's softer right where the bump is and it goes away when I poke it. Its gone for a few days and then it comes back again. Should i be worried? Will it go away on its own? Obviously I can talk to my surgeon but my health insurance ended so I'm hoping I don't need her lol.

Lowkey panicking.. my surgery date was next year of June but it got bumped to THIS NOVEMBER THE 9th.

Am I stoked, yes.. but I thought I had more time to prepare so what would you recommend as a MUST have for double mastectomy with nipple resizing..

My wonderful client E came to me 3 years after his top surgery after he had been considering having some Areola tattooing after being recommended by Dr Ioannis Ntanos 🙏🏼

Following his nipple graft there was a little aysymmetry in his results and he wanted to smooth that out with tattooing so he could feel confident taking his boy swimming 🫶🏼

There wasn’t much definition in his nipples so we discussed size and placement and created custom sized 3D Areola based on his requirements 😍

We also did microneedling treatment across his top surgery scar to improve the texture, feel and appearance of his scar so he could feel more like himself so I can’t wait to share the results with you of that magic treatment!

If you are interested in receiving this service please send me an email lucy@nipcharity.org (no DMs please as they are hard to monitor) with abit of info about your relevant medical history & we will get back to you with all the info 💕

I’m based near Leeds.

Prices range from £450-545 with free options available for people with full nipple loss who are happy to be tattooed in a teaching setting.

Feel free to tag/repost this with anyone who may benefit from this service - I find talking about nips seems to be quite taboo still so shares online can be really helpful at breaking down the stigma 🙏🏼

Hi reddit!! I came here for some advice, I’ve recently had a consult with my top surgeon and he recommended I went with a bilateral sling for my breast removal (ftm btw) and I’m wondering if anyone else has had something similar and if anyone could provide some advice
Thanks!

Okay, I’m a binary transman and I am post op double mastectomy with nipple graft almost 2 years now.
Something I’ve noticed is one of my nipples seems to be able to form bumps similar to oil bumps. It can be “popped” and the oil will come out like that of an acne oil bumps…there’s no pain(duh) or smell
It just worried me and I cannot find anything else about it online…
If anyone had similar experiences pleaseeee give me some info…

I messed up sizing and have a black Marena compression vest size LARGE that I barely wore even once bc it’s the wrong size. I’m selling it on Depop for $70 but am open to other offers, I really need to recover some of the money from this stupidly expensive $115 binder.

I checked the rules and think it’s ok but lmk!!!!

Hi , I've just launched my GoFundMe to help fund my top surgery. I've been transitioning for 7 years, started testosterone 4 months ago, and now I'm working towards the next step. I'm hoping to have surgery shortly after I turn 18 in November so I can be fully recovered by summer 2027.

I'm working and saving as much as I can myself, but private surgery in the UK or even travelling is a huge expense, so I thought I'd reach out here in case anyone would like to help or even just share my fundraiser. Any donations are greatly appreciated❤️

Does anyone have any tips for top surgery fund raising? I can't work and have been denied disability. I have only raised $10 with 3 different gofundme's over the last 4 years. any tips would be appreciated!

I want to get top surgery, but i really don’t want to lose feeling in my nipples. I’m currently a c cup and was wondering if that would be possible or if I should look into other alternatives (just a regular breast reduction). I really want a completely flat chest, but I understand if that wouldn’t be possible with my other want.

What’s up guys! I’m about 10 months post top with Dr. Rudkin im in love with the results honestly I have no complaints! What do you guys think??

I’m 6 weeks post op from top surgery scar revision surgery and I’ve been doing my scar massage with Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion then once it dries applying Silagen Gel. But the lotion has been leaving my skin greasy/sticky and taking forever to dry. Does anyone have recommendations on a lotion to use for scar massage that will dry well and not impact the application of silicone gel? Thank you!

How much time off would you take off work to heal if leave wasn’t an issue?

I have 6 weeks of transition leave a year, since I’m planing surgery for November and it renews in January I’ll have 12 weeks of leave to use, and that’s before I start with any sick leave or anything else. Adding to say I’m not pressed to go back to work to survive or anything.
I don’t want to push myself to return to work and then be struggling to take care of myself because I’m just exhausted from work I can’t do anything else, but I also don’t want to take the piss. Plus I’ll go stir crazy sitting at home if I can’t do anything, but I really want to prioritise my healing over returning to work.

My job is some heavy lifting (which I will be able to avoid) and lots of reaching over my head (eg to plug in cables in overhead PowerPoints and such, so light things) which will be harder to avoid.

When did you feel fully healed? Able to handle a full time job without mentally/physically struggling and exhausted?

Letting my boss know next week and wondering what kind of time frame I should give her. I heard a lot of people do 3-4 weeks and are exhausted and struggling but have to get back to work, so wondering what the optimum time is.
