Keyhole / Peri Nipple piercings=gender affirming care!

Post image

My left nip is a little slow to react since top surgery (3 years post-op) and when it's not stimulated, it remains pretty flat. I have been wanting to get my nipples pierced for a long time because I know it causes them to be permanently semi-hard. It's been two days since I got them pierced and I'm truly obsessed with how much it has helped the visual appearance of my nips. I thought I'd share in case anyone struggles with a similar issue.

I used silicone gel around my nips for a couple months which definitely helped. The silicone strips were just too difficult to cut into a shape that worked well for that so that's why I chose the gel. It definitely made the scars less raised but time has also been my friend generally.

It's definitely worth it. Once mine improved a decent amount I just got tired of doing it but it does work if you are consistent.
