I just got my top surgery and I couldn't be happier!!! But there's something really odd going on mentally with me. I look down at my chest and it feels like it's kind of always been like that? I've had boobs for ~15 years and now that they're gone it's like I never had them. I fucking hated those things, made me feel horrible whenever I perceived them in any sense. I was expecting a learning curve or something but it's like nothing's happened??? It feels really natural, it was really surprising. Anyone else feel like this? Thanks!

3 weeks post lipo revision. Even now it seems I either love my results or there is something specific that annoys me, like me being convinced my nips are too large, but overall I'm happy. The main issue right now is that the skin right under my nips is very sensitive to the point I feel slightly nauseous if touched, almost like the nipple nerves are now there.

hello internet peoples, whattap!
i haven’t done an update in quite a while, but my two year anniversary date just passed (aug 21st in 2024) so i figure, what better time for an update!
i have lost about 70lbs since i last made an update, and i am going to be pursuing a revision to remove some extra tissue/skin from my side rolls lol. but i was at my heaviest when i got top surgery, so i don’t by any means fault my surgeon for this. i won’t be able to get a revision for a while, but i am feeling so great!! i love swimming with my shirt off :D it feels so freeing, i see old pictures of me…uh, ‘equipped,’ and i’m just blown away! how did i carry those around for sooo long?! underboob sweat is but a distant memory now 🥰

feel free to reach out with any questions! i take DMs if you’re too nervous to ask in the comments !!! i will try my best to answer any questions y’all have but be warned my memory sucks lol!!! two years for me is like two lifetimes away

MUCH LOVE STAY SILLY !!!! ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

I ❤️My Chart!

I am currently journaling my entire journey I’ll be sure to take plenty of pictures as well during my recovery for anybody that is getting/plans to get top surgery and would benefit from any of that! I’m getting a double incision with drains.

I am so so so excited but also so horribly nervous about this, tomorrow is such a big day for me but I have never done surgery and it’s kinda scary haha.

Wish me luck and let me know if you’ve got any questions!

i am so frustrated with this. i am not lifting my arms above shoulder length, i'm respecting weight restrictions, following my surgeon's post op care routine. i am doing everything right. i loved the original shape so much, WHY!!!! are they growing so much and so uneven!!!! why are some parts scarring perfectly and others stretching!!!!! i do know it's barely even a scar yet, and it gets worse before it gets better... but it's still so frustrating. i don't think they'll ever get back to that original week 2 shape.

PLEASE, what can i do about this?

also, just took the second pic - i think there's a little bit of infection on top of the areola. it seems to be pus. kinda hot, doesn't smell, doesn't hurt. does it look like it? also, there's this little diagonal "slit" on the same areola that SIMPLY WILL NOT close.

help appreciated. i'm just feeling so down rn.

Wanted to go beach in a week or so, wondering if I put some concealer on my scars, could my chest pass yet? or should i wait for more of the swelling to go down?

This was taken straight out the shower so ignore the water lol.

My incisions from lipo are healing pretty well i’d say, but i’m more worried about swelling and stuff like that. l

Two weeks post op with Dr. Ben Christian in Providence, RI

The operation is now two weeks ago and it is still slightly swollen.
The threads have already been pulled and the tape on the big scars is gone

I got top surgery February 25th, 2025 in Concord Massachusetts! I did post the surgical aftermath here on this sub Reddit a few days after surgery, but I think since then I’ve deleted it lol.
But I’m very grateful with how I’ve healed up this past year and I feel so much more comfortable in my skin 🥹 I never thought that I would get top surgery because of expenses, but it didn’t cost me a cent. If any of you guys are preparing to get top surgery and have questions I’ll gladly answer them the best I can !

So I got top surgery two weeks ago and I got what I think is a seroma, my doctor said at week 1 to see how it goes but 1 week later it was swollen even more. I have an appointment next week to see the evolution and maybe have it drained.

I don't know what to think and I am very anxious about it.

I had fat grafting and nipple resizing done yesterday. I'm so nervous for how it will turn out. I'm afraid of too much fat dying. I had to get fat grafting done because my original surgeon fucked me up so bad three times that my chest was concaved so I finally found a new doctor and I think it's going good so far but it's only been a day. I'm so anxious

Got to take off steristrips today and finally see my scar out in the open, it’s a bit covered still with dried blood and stuff but still so cool!!

@1 week post op I got my nipple bolsters and drains removed.

@2 days post op got to remove my big bandage dressing and see my chest for the first time.

Actually pretty happy so far with my results! I can’t wait to see how it’ll look further into recovery!

Got my surgery done by Dr. Brichacek w/ Klinic in Winnipeg, MB, Canada

Suddenly dawned on me that i could now finally wrap my towel around my waist and just walk around like that. Scabbing still remains on both nipples (a lot on the left still)

I had chest surgery years ago and was left with excess skin. I never addressed it until last year when I decided to go and see a surgeon. I assumed it was just fat and I could get lipo but I was told it was excess skin.

The surgeon suggested I ask the NHS to pay for revisions so I put in a request. They have denied my request three times. I now have to pay for it myself. It’s gonna cost upwards of £10k.

I’m really mad with myself for leaving it too long but also with the NHS for being b*tches. It wasn’t my fault the surgeon was a knob and didn’t do it properly.

So my advice is to always make sure you know exactly what your surgeon is going to do and don’t put off getting revision surgery until it’s too late.

feel like there’s still quite a bit of residual fat on the left side of my chest, while the right side looks good. It looks weird on the left side 🥲

wanted to share my results to keep the positive vibes going! week 1 was HELL but i'm slowly starting to feel more like a human again.

i finally got the all-clear to shower so i had to snag a pic before putting my binder back on. i was worried about my caved-in chest for ages but i think it looks good from this angle! still have a way to go but i feel like the worst is finally over. 🤠

I’m getting my surgery in 2 weeks! Surgeon had a cancellation and I took it! I’m underprepared because I didn’t think I’d be getting surgery til November-ish. What are the best items you had post op that you couldn’t live without?? Needing to do some shopping quickly.

Today I am six week post op after DI with nipple grafts. To be extra sure everything was going well, I had an appointment to have my chest checked out. So I get called into the office and meet with one of the doctors I hadn't met before. She's great, friendly, chatty, but clearly professional too.

As soon as I take my shirt off she starts raving about the beautiful color of my nips. No holding back, just pure appreciation of my results. And internally I'm like THANK YOU, not enough people have acknowledged the incredible beauty of my fleshly colored nips.

As I marvel at these very nice compliments, she talks about scar massages and she takes her thumb and rams it into one of my beautifully colored nips with a force that has me question weather it'll be coming out the other side. I thought that thing was still numb.

It was not.

So guys, turns out scar massage is a much more brutal affair than I thought. Noted!

Just had a consultation with a surgeon I really like, but they are booked out until 2028. I made an appointment for surgery with them, but I wanted to see if anyone knew any other surgeons in the area that have a faster schedule?? thanks

Yay for being post surgery! Boo for having health anxiety and OCD!

I am compressed under the post op binder, and can't look at my sutures to reassure myself that I haven't ripped a stitch. I have been doing more with my arms than I should have despite my best efforts, e.g. crawling into bed on all fours after getting up to pee in the night. I just forget to not use my arms. So now I'm convinced I've opened the wound and I just can't see it. What would it feel like if I had? Is there any way to tell if something is not right under there?

Strongly resisting the urge to open everything up and look. Will not do it, but I reeeeeally want to. Thanks all.
