When strangers ask about my scars...

[viyatrix]

I’m not trans, but i had a breast reduction at 22 and because of that I have the same anchor scars that many trans men get after top surgery.

I like to think of them as my “scar brothers,” or “brothers in scars” if you will. Scar Siblings for my nonbinary peeps.

I think it’s neat.

CW: Medical stuff under the cut

If I was going to say anything else it would be a note on said scars -

If you find your top surgery scars healed super thick and you find that upsetting, you can get them redone several years after your initial surgery and they will heal better the second time. (My insurance covered it as a “follow up operation” ymmv) (also no shame if you like your scars thick, that’s totally cool too).

The reason for this (to my limited knowledge) is because your first surgery is a much deeper heal. The cut went deep, and a bunch of stuff was removed, so the body had to heal all the way from the tissues to the skin all at once. Deeper cuts often end up in bigger scars.

However!! If you come back a few years later after the initial surgery has fully healed and settled (I think mine was 3-5 years? Not sure) and get the scars redone (they cut the scar out and sew up the unscarred skin on both sides) the scar generally ends up much smaller and less noticeable.

My first scars were big, ropey, and purple in some areas. They were very obvious and the keloids would hurt when I hit them by accident.

My second set of scars are much MUCH better. In some areas it’s hard to even notice them. They’re flat and the coloring is barely notable. I have one or two spots that are thicker but on the whole, the scarring is much less noticeable and less painful.

So just something to keep in mind if the look or feel of your scars bothers you.

Best of luck all my scar siblings!! (and wear your scar tape post surgery, it helps keep those scars flat and provides support to the skin so it doesn’t get shuffled about or pulled apart by movement and gravity and helps control keloiding)

I’m so very sure it’s been done before. But it would not leave my head.

dblncore on twitter was amazing enough to draw this for me 🥺🙏

I've been wanting this pic for ages... I had the idea of Yulia with visible scoliosis.. I don't know why, I just find unique body features beautiful/interesting

(I asked and they said I could post here! but you should go to their twitter for the full pic!)

unpopular opinion

the wide-spread knowledge of trans surgeries and the scars that result from them have made it insanely difficult for stealth trans people to live their lives without being reminded that they're trans/having to worry about covering their scars

[transmascchiato]

queer people do you ever think about how our pets are the only ones we've never wondered "would they still love me if__" but have always answered "yes i would"?

anyway, i call this photoshoot "the one who never questioned me"

Okay artists drawing trans men, here’s a ref of top surgery scars that are years old (at least 6 years). Please stop drawing your guys like someone took a chainsaw to them. Most trans men don’t even have visible scars, I just didn’t do anything to make mine less visible cuz I didn’t/don’t care. Men who had smaller chests will have even less scarring (I had tubes running from the center of my chest that exited behind my shoulders for drainage but smaller guys sometimes don’t have to deal with that).

if robots were transgender

would their surgery scars instead be

welding scars ?

[letthew00kiewin]

Sorry guys, i'm feeling myself and dont have my phone to take new things so I'm going back to my old photoshoot i did forever ago. Sorry and maybe you're welcome?

Trans Bruce Wayne sketches from when I was watching the Harley Quinn animated series! The black under those pecs in the bat suit reminds me of top surgery scars so had to get the idea out there 🦇🏳️‍⚧️

Tried to make a DnD character but then this guy came with too much gender for my heart to just leave in the dust
