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,

Jaime Lynn

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

      No you aren't!!  There were reports from Texas, Arkansas and the Carolinas of spectacular shows last night.  This is a once-in-a-lifetime event, the best show since 1938, someone said.  Tonight is supposed to be just as good.  (OK, maybe a twice-in-a-lifetime event.  )

      @KathyLauren That’s absolutely beautiful. Love those colors! That would be so nice to see some time. I’m too far South to ever see these spectacular events.   Very Nice, Susan R🌷

      Welcome @AmandaJoy, It’s a pleasure to have you join us here on the forum. It does seem much easier to suppress this understanding of ourselves until one day, it’s not. It all suddenly hits you like a ton of bricks. Those puzzle pieces all suddenly seem to fit and there’s no going back. Like you, I waited until I felt there was no other choice. It was now or never! Never having the opportunity to be myself in this world was not going to be an option.   Words of wisdom there. Many of us try to make up for lost time or try to get results faster than a cis puberty but it just doesn’t work that way as you’ve learned. It’s difficult waiting for the changes but the good news…eventually you’ll experience many of them and the joys that come with those changes are wonderful and exciting. But like most good things, they take time. And sometimes it’s helpful things don’t happen overnight. Especially if you have others that need time to adjust to your physical and emotional changes.   I wish you the best on your continuing journey wherever that may lead you. I think you’ll enjoy this forum as there are great resources, advice, and people here that make it what it is. Hope to see you around.   Warmest Regards, Susan R🌷

      I enjoyed my Saturday moka-pot coffee this morning while doing something I love: processing astronomy images.  I didn't stay up late to watch last night's spectacular aurora, but my all-sky camera did, taking pictures every minute.

      Good morning.    I did not try to see the sky last night.  We watched tv and went to bed.  Cooler but dry this weekend it was 58 when I got up this morning.  Sorry Kymmie, no chance of white rain here. Although there is always a chance of hail.  Fortunately, the storms stayed west of us and dropped their golf all size hail elsewhere.  I do feel bad for the people that got the hail as that was in a poorer part of the state.   Even the county we live in is quite large and has socioeconomic issues that range from wealth to below poverty.  Very few good middle class jobs and a number of them are closing their doors every year.  Most workers are some way connected to hospitality and travel.  We are beginning to see some internet based jobs as the latest under sea internet cables to South America and other places are coming ashore here.  But they are not connected yet.  We have a rail line but it stops at the innercoastal waterway. The bridge was damage in a hurricane and there just wasn’t enough traffic to justify Corman spending the money to fix it.  So it is permanently in the raised position.     @awkward-yet-sweet I’m glad you got to spend some downtime away from the every day at home.  I can’t imagine how a household that large operates.  And I do think you deserve an upgraded commercial kitchen.  But,  you wouldn’t all be able to live together if you spent money buying new to you things instead of fixing the old with so much talent at home.   Well, I hope to spend time creating the outline of my paper today.  I’m sure I will have to refine it a couple of times before it is completed.   enjoy your weekend    willow
