Chest Surgery Results

Thought I'd post some pictures of how I've been recovering for all those considering a double mastectomy (And because I loooooove my new chest. XD)

This is about a week after the surgery. I had just taken my first real shower in a week and I was so relieved (Don't worry, I'm wearing pants). The red mark near my waist is a vagina bump from the tubes that connected my drains. This resulted because my binder had been too tight.

This is me currently, and almost 3 months after my surgery. The red bumps (which I had on both sides) have gone away completely and all of the dead skin has fallen off. There is still some skin peeling but it is white as opposed to the dark skin seen in the one week picture. The scar is now much smoother and varies from slight points of bumpiness to so smooth it feels like apart of my skin.

So for all of you considering this procedure, I recommend it, and best of luck to you.

It's funny the way I'm regaining sensation actually. Both nips are still dry in terms of skin but I have fully regained sensation on the left side, and only slightly on the right. My left side has always been more sensitive than my right though, so it comes as no surprise to me.

Thanks for all the nice comments guys. (:

What wonderful results!

You look fabulous!!! :D Congratulations are in order!!!!

I agree, the scars will probably fade by summer. The fact that you are gaining the sensations back so quickly is fantastic (not that I really know how long it takes, but it seems quick).

Hugs,

Thanks hun, glad to know I'll be looking good for beach season. B)

And yeah Stranded, they stink. I was so afraid they were going to permenantly scar. And if you couldn't already tell, I meant to say "puss-filled" bumps, not vagina bumps. Guess I didn't consider the word I was using. :P

      Well just been doing a lot of self reflection and a lot of gender dysphoria that has caused me to break down. The realization has been that I'm a trial period for men and women don't even consider me. It's getting dim. I have put myself out there by force even when I didn't want to. I have one friend but still haven't seen her IRL yet. We talk on Sundays and it's always me that starts it. Another person only talks to me when they want something. It's never been hey how are you doing. It's almost a month to my birthday and it's all just my mom, sister, nephew that are coming. So much for a 40th birthday party. I hate these posts. I want to be optimistic, positive and cheerful but I haven't seen anything go my way. I'm making it by the skin of my teeth. I wished I could just go into a coma for a year or just not wake up.

      Sorry I have been absent a lot but I do read your posts though. 
    • Ashley0616
      @Michelle_S lol it took a year to get that many. It's nice to have a large number but having the thoughts of helping someone far outweigh the number of posts. I have been absent a lot lately. Back at it tomorrow though lol.

      I understand. I have the opposite problem. I'm really tall, my feet are size 13, I don't have any curves mostly but I do have breasts so at least I got that but I get stared at. I have tried dating to men I'm just a trial period and none of the women want to date me as a trans woman so I'm just stuck being single. I do have one friend and that's it. I'm right there with you about not being able to work. I haven't been able to come up with the money for any surgeries. I have a wealthy dream and disability IRL. If you want I can chat with you.

      Will do @Michelle_S  sending you a text soon.  My apologies for not being in touch sooner
    • Ashley0616

      Not sure I could handle 4" heels.  I do have some 2" ankle boots though.

      When I got on HRT people remarked on how happy I was.  I had insisted that I was happy before, but now I realized I only thought so.

      My new 4" heels I picked up today! 😘

      One of the nicest confirmations for me was when the 'new me' felt absolutely normal. I had, like almost everyone, felt very excited with each new development. But 6 years in, it's wonderful just experiencing things, like HRT, as daily rituals that are simply part of my life.   I also am privileged to have experienced a feminine perspective these last six years. It confirms how unhappy I was earlier, and things like masculine privilege and mansplaining are so apparent to me now.    Kind regards,   Astrid

      OK, I have several things that should be going for me, but really don't make much difference.  I have been on HRT since 2009 but my height is 5'11 and 230 pounds, not much up top and have never done facial hair removal sol without make-up it is old lady white on my face.  Every now and then I get someone with that weird look on their face but rarely get fully "clocked" as Trans unless I am in a bunch of Drag Queens  even without being in Drag.  For the most part though I simply no longer worry about misgendering and "do not hear it" if it happens, but if I hear too much I just leave the situation.   Your genetics are playing a big part in your life due to the height and inability to "Bulk UP".  That said, in ordinary daily life are you trying too hard to "man up?" so that your actions are exaggerated and not convincing.  A chip on the shoulder male will invite more trouble that one not trying so hard.  Do you know who you are?  Be that person and the gender is easier to pull off.  I am an overweight feminine dressing older lady with dyed red hair and some minorly atypical ability to take part in "male interests" hobby wise and I can be assertive in business issues.    I have two Trans Male acquaintances who could be your body doubles.  One is a true friend and has male traits of interest in people, a willingness to care and be straightforward in masculine behaviors, is a good listener and a whole lot of that stuff in him.  He gets an occasional "read" but sloughs it off and doesn't respond.  The other acquaintance will remain just that since he is screechy, thinks he is a celebrity in the community and the whole garbanzo.  He is about 49% likely to be misgendered and go off in a persons face when it happens and makes the rest of us wonder why we keep him around.    We are our own worst enemies when judging what we look like , absolutely the very worst, and we will call attention to what we see as flaws and out ourselves as I did often in my first years.  By now the problem children in my life have moved on and the rest simply know me as ME and as the result it does not matter if I pass or not.  Hard facts not positivity.  It will take you time, maybe more time than I have to be around, but when all else fails, lower your demands and expectations and it will happen.
