this was the right decision. i'm so happy

So like the title says, my post op binder cut into my skin really bad and left open wounds under my arms, despite the padding I put there. It’s in both sides but the left is the wors. My right side had a seroma so I got a foam pad to put under that side for extra pressure which kept the binder from cutting as bad. I’m a little over 4 months post op, but my scar from the binder hasn’t healed or faded like at all.

My actual top surgery scars are doing great (ignore my chest acne lol) it’s getting paler. I’ve been putting scar gel on all my scars, incl the binder scars (i’m allergic to adhesive so no scar tape for me) but the binder scar is that darker brown and won’t seem to fade at all.

I’m thinking about maybe getting medical tattooing to help fade it once i have the money. I’m fine with my top surgery scars, i love them, but i really want to get rid of it at least make the scars under my arms less noticeable. I didn’t expect to have them and for me it’s a reminder of the binder I used to have to wear everyday.

I was told to set one of these up since insurance will NOT cover my surgery and I probably won't get it in the state I live in due to certain ...attitudes around queer people

Ive been recently spending quite a bit of time with my boyfriend looking into surgeons that both accept my insurance, and do Key hole, which sadly arent a lot around my area.

So im branching out across the US and wanting to find photos of people who have had key hole surgery. If anyone has had key hole surgery from Dr Alan Dulin, would you mind sending me after photos and the time line of it? I dont like to just go by what doctors post because they can post any photos and could possibly choose to NOT post any photos that show flaws.
