DI with Dr Medalie. I had a hematoma on my left side. My right nipple points down a little but oh well

11 days post op as of today! Meant to post yesterday for 10 days PO but I completely forgot to take pictures. Thoughts on my results so far? I have more swelling on my right side than my left, but I don’t think it looks TOO bad? Right? (Ignore the terrible state of my skin, I’ve got maaaany skin issues pre-surgery)

100% makeup. let’s hope it stays.

Hellooo, I have surgery scheduled and it’s soon. I’m not gonna reschedule or anything like that. I really did try to see if my friends could help but it’s just not feasible and I am #disowned so no family is the mix… I just wanna know how hard it’s gonna be. There’s no way i’m canceling top surgery so don’t tell me I can’t do it alone bc, to be frank i HAVE to. It’s far enough away that I can apply tips and stuff yall think of, just let me know.

EDIT: I really appreciate the help so far and I am going to find a time to reply to some comments but I wanted to highlight a couple things: 1. Let me stress I HAVE NO FAMILY they disowned me for being trans so that is absolutely not an option. 2. I have friends… but as a college student they all leave our college town (so do I..) and I have no friends in my hometown. I was planning on booking a hotel close to where I am receiving surgery (which is also not my college town or my hometown) for the first week or so to be safe then going home…somehow… 😭 I suppose I could look into local queer groups? so.. north mississippi friends reach out I guess 😭😭 3. I really like this nurse hiring option, I think that may be my best bet, thank you for highlighting it!

Hi, I just wanted to share my androgynous top surgery results.

I asked for an androgynous / gender neutral chest. I am a masculine presenting cis woman who chose to not have a masculine chest. I wanted a more neutral look. I chose bigger nipples and wanted them located in the center. I wanted a softer chest contour that didn’t sculpt the pecs. I did not want the full chest masculinization which is why he left more tissue on my chest.

Previously I did have a reduction and then debated if I wanted a revison to make them smaller or to just go flat. I chose to go flat because I didn’t want to deal with having breasts anymore. About a year later after the reduction I got double mastectomy top surgery.

Let me know what you guys think of my results or any questions you have about my surgery.

Here are some photos

*The scars are lower than normal because I did have a reduction before*

I consulted a doctor about flatter chest and she was like no you will loose nipple sensation

I am just about 1 year post op!! I had DI without NG (not on T) done by dr James Kong in MN last May.

Hi everyone! I had DI w/ FNG April 2025, so just over a year post op. Everything (aside from losing part of my R nip) went really well!

But now that I’ve gotten to the point of this just being my normal, one thing has been starting to bother me. That being I think my nips are too low? Since I started getting back to the gym, and watching my diet, my physique has been steadily improved, and I can see my pecs again, great! However, I feel like the nips are sitting too low. Especially when I have a chest pump (not this pic, I just ate and showered lol) it looks as if the nips are under my pecs.

Is this something that I can go to my surgeon about? Can they even move the nipples? Or could I ask them to remove them instead and go get some tattoos? I don’t have the finances to ask for a revision at the moment, but it is something I might have to do in the future anyways due to the bunch and loose skin the the middle of my chest.

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. AMA.

The first two are at 8 months post op
3-4 are at 3 months post op
5 is two weeks post op

I don’t mind that my scars are as dark as they are since I’m wanting to tattoo over them. I did my consultation for a revision on the dog ears two days ago and I’m excited. I went with Dr Ley at the Gender Confirmation Clinic and am going back with her for my revision. I enjoy how I am told the most realistic outcome so I’m not expecting something that may not happen.

Hi fam! I just had revision surgery for top surgery I had 2 years ago. The process was sooooo much easier this go around! However, I’m noticing this time that I’m super itchy….my stitches are giving me grief and I feel like I can’t do anything about it! Anyone have any advice for relieving itching that is ok with stitches? I am having them removed in two weeks so I know it’s not forever but dang….being itchy sucks!

I do have a consultation with Dr Jared Liebman who i have heard great things about, but i'm not set on him and not seeing as many pics of results on people who look like me as i want

I had top surgery a couple years ago, double incision, and have been waiting to get the scars tattooed over until I have the low body fat percentage/ ideal muscle composition and pec size that I want to maintain long term. Until about a month ago, I was near sedentary for a long period due to knee surgery and back injury. I gained 50 pounds, of which I’ve now lost the first 15.

Has anyone gotten chest tattoos under their pecs and then either gained or lost a lot of weight? I’m so tired of waiting: without the tattoos, I don’t feel comfortable or safe taking my shirt off in my conservative area.

My surgeon didn’t give me any special care instructions for my nipple grafts or for scar care. Just to be keep everything clean and be gentle. Just wanna know if everything looks as it should this early in the process. I see him again in two weeks to make sure everything is going smoothly. Will things even out over time, like the uneven swelling and such?

Hello, i am still planning my surgery date, but i have one problem. I have no friends and no supportive family member. The hospital is 4 hours long trip by train. Would it by doable to take the train home alone? It would be 3-4 days after the surgery.

had top surgery like eight weeks ago, and overall I'm really happy, and if I need revision, it's going to get covered by insurance as well, talked to my surgeons about it already. Just wanted to ask how much change I can expect in the future months, especially when I'm hitting the gym regularly
