I passed 6 months post op a while back so lemme post an update!
The scars look amazing, you can see one is starting to flatten at some spots.
I actually did run into one small issue, i think maybe around the 3 month mark? I had some pretty painful tension lines. If you get these dont worry, they go away pretty soon!
Mine stuck around for about 2-4 weeks. Bc my rib sticks out, the skin was tensed even if my arm wasnt raised. It was a bit painful constantly during it, but faded really fast. I think it happened because i was starting to have lots of movement again pretty suddenly (had a job where i had to lift stuff over my head multiple times a day) so my skin was adjusting to the sudden increased stretching.
Generally it was all ok!!!
Cant stress how happy this has made me, i heart my tits <3

#sorry for being mean about the top surgeru option i still think its a surgery that would be unrealistic for the gamr#especially with nipple grafts. AND ALSO THE SCARS DONT FOLLOW THE LINE THEYRE SUPPOSED TO#like they are the scars of a Bad top surgery. but i am so pleased with being able to run around as a trans person with cc options#very#like obviously made with actual trans people in mind and integrated without big flashing transgender buttons attached to them#that its impossible to actually be mad about it. also holy shit its crazy to be able to complain about the quality of top scars in an#aaa video game? like im bitching but being able to cross my arms and go Well this is only like a 7/10 implementation of top surgery scars#thats crazy#dragon age talk#personal

I love being someone's science experiment
#personal#read:#my top surgeon continues to be fascinated by me#last time it was because I said it was fascinating to watch him pull stitches out of my chest#(he said the last guy had passed out so he kept asking if I was okay)#this time it's because of how well my nerves reconnected on one side#apparently it's not very normal to have good skin sensation in nipple grafts#but here we are#he put a note in my chart and seemed...excited?#he really looked like he wanted to say ''oh cool!'' or ''weird!''#but he just said ''huh!'' and seemed enthused#he also kept saying ''oh you look *good*'' in a way that was very genuine#and he's right#my chest looks great#but some part of me wants to be like#intense about his reaction. like#o sculptor of flesh. how do you feel when you behold your creations?#is your vision of yourself one of an artist or of a doctor? is this the line you blur?#anyway that'd be weird so I don't say stuff like that#but I do *want* to#sbs rambles#in the tags#gender#top surgery

Top surgery will have you thinking things like "my left nipple is my favorite one because it's a much more normal shape"
#wild.#for the record my other nipple is fine as well. she just hasn't settled yet. skin grafts are fuckin weird.

Now, I will expound upon the scary things. These are things that happened after top surgery that spooked me.
All of these things ended up being harmless, I just wasn’t told they would happen and couldn’t find any info about them so they scared me shitless. My intention here is to save others from similar needless panic. This is not medical advice, just a description of my experience. Well some of it is advice, but keep in mind that I’m fucking stupid and I don’t know shit. Also, Never for one second have I regretted this surgery. The only thing I miss about my tits is being able to grope them whenever I wanted.
Okay so first of all there was the bruises. Blood from the surgery had pooled in my love handles and all over my thighs under my skin and made these HUGE bruises, right, and they didn’t hurt but they were large and had funky colors and I thought “What if the blood rots under my skin”. I googled it, I asked all my friends, I tried to reach my doctors but it was the weekend so they didn’t answer so I went to urgent care and the doctor there was like “I dont know…. That’s scary….” So I was freaking out and decided I would simply wait for death to claim me. It was fine. When I finally got ahold of the doctor she said she’s never seen it before but to just watch it and tell her if it gets bigger. My body slurped that shit back up in a couple weeks, totally harmlessly. Why haven’t surgeons ever seen shit like that before? Probably because nobody’s ever freaked out about it enough to mention it to them. Either way, it was fine.
Secondly, when I had those drains in me, that was spooky because I thought “What if they get yanked out and tear up my shit” and I couldn’t take off the bandage too see or nothing but when I did eventually take them off, I saw that there are stitches around the pipes but not like holding them in you, just there to make sure the holes they put in you stay the same size they are. So if they get pulled out you don’t get seriously damaged, you just call them up and say yo can you put this shit back in me pls. There will also be little meat chunks coming through your tubes with your soup and the soup will be mildly funky smelling. That’s normal. I was told to tell them if there was like CRAZY amounts of meat or if the soup smelled absolutely nasty. Also the bolster things they put on your nips are attached directly to your nips and nothing else, so if you feel shit sliding around under your bandage, that’s the bandage sliding, not the bolsters. They didn’t tell me that so I thought I was gonna wake up with one on my back or something and not be able to put it back where it was. And they make it so it’ll be nice and slippery in there the whole time so don’t worry about the bolsters getting ripped off, there’s not enough friction in there to do that.
There was also the hydrocodone they gave me. For me, the incisions didn’t hardly hurt at all even immediately after surgery but they prescribed me hydrocodone so I took it, and I assumed I wasn’t hurting because of the drugs and that if I stopped taking them I would hurt a LOT. So here I am taking opioids and I’m so fucking dizzy and I’m violently throwing up for two days. I texted my doctor and begged to stop taking it because I thought I would get in trouble or something if I stopped without asking and she’s like “Yeah, you didn’t have to take it if you didn’t want to, its just there if you need something stronger” ohhhhhhhh well fuck me I guess. So I stopped taking it and it turns out I didn’t need pain meds at all because it barely hurts, it just feels like a really long paper cut.
Some other things, I popped a stitch in my armpit because when you first come home and your shits still all numbed up, you can’t feel it when you overstretch your arm so if you forget you’re not supposed to do that, you can pop a stitch. It got infected, I put some antibiotic on it, it took a long time to heal and it made the scar a little uglier but it didn’t cause anything crazy. I will say that my incisions go up into my armpits really far and it was real hard to keep them clean on account of all the sweat. My nipple grafts also had many tiny, shallow stitches and I thought “What if they fall out because they’re so shallow”. That’s normal. My dad said that’s how you do stitches for sensitive areas so they look pretty, and they do look pretty, and also they are supposed to fall out after a couple weeks, that is also normal. Just make sure they don’t fall out too soon I guess. Pretend you’re made of glass for the first 4 weeks, honestly.
Also, your nip has the little oil glands in it, right, and when you’re nip scabs over as it is supposed to, it will scab inside these oil pores and you’ll lose the whole rest of the scab and have these little leftover scraps, and you Must. Not. Pick them. Those pores in my nips are little craters now because I picked the scabs out of them. Every scab you pull off, even the ones that are thin and tiny and already hanging halfway off, is going to make your nip even uglier. You wont die but you will say “Ugh why did it do that”.
Also, my nip hole collects nasty shit in it that I have to clean out all the time and since I can’t feel anything in there I have the be VERY careful. Skin is actually very easy to puncture. And there’s like little caverns in there that also get stuff in them a lot so I still put antibiotic on my nips after I shower just in case? Not really sure if its infection or like dead skin… its been getting better over time at least. Sorry if that’s TMI but listen, somebody’s gotta talk about it.
Sometimes my scars, the main incisions, will get these little blackheads right in the middle of them or little pockets of infection, and I always pick at them and the scar tissue isn’t very strong so when you pick at things on your scar, you will break open all the blood vessels around it and have a big red spot and the scar tissue is such that you will not get the blackhead out anyway so just dont do that. Put some antibiotic on it. Honestly just put antibiotic on anything that looks sus. Antibiotic can solve anything.
Okay idk what else to say so end post goodbye.

Tomorrow marks 5 weeks post op and it's all still going well!
I dont think there's much swelling left, it doesn't feel as tender anymore and I can see definition of the underlying muscle. One side has more scabs than the other, but in general more and more healed tissue is being exposed at the incisions! The nip eschars are still well attached.
Close up of the more healed side scar, a general pic, and a close up of a nip. The scarring between my nips and skin is very minimal and they blend in well together!

people get so sanctimonious over how top surgery scars are drawn for no reason. some of us have fat jagged scars and enjoy accentuating/stylizing that rather than toning it down….you people are lame
#also not enough fucked up nipple grafts in art imo#my grafts look like stars and they’re 90% scar tissue#the shit i’ve seen where people go ‘ugh finally someone who draws scars how they ACTUALLY look’ for an artist drawing flat smooth scars…#your experiences are not universal !#m

How's everyone's nerves after top surgery? Do the nerves return basically the same in your nipples? Mine seem to have stayed where the scars are-- so my nipples don't feel the same sensations exactly, and my scars are sensitive haha. It's been 2 whole years now! :3

whenever i see myself topless in the mirror i get so dysphoric about how huge my nipples are. they’re so big, probably bigger than a slice of pepperoni. it’s like my body is telling me that i’m not supposed to get top surgery, that my tits were biologically engineered to inflate with milk and breastfeed…
#maybe if i get enough courage i’ll post a picture so all of you can see what i mean…#(also i know they cut down the size of your areolas if you choose to get a nipple graft for top surgery but shhhh let me have this)#fakeboy#ftm girl#detransition kink#ftmtgirlyslut.txt
