IV fun facts:

hurts like hell when they put it in

the solutions they give you are at room temperature, so they will always feel cold and cool your hand down (either warm yourself up with your other hand or wrap a sweater around it)

every time you get a new solution, it will burn a bit at the start

the little access tube in your hand or arm gets entangled everywhere (your food, your clothes, the faucet)

removing the tube doesn't hurt at all

Hi bunnies!

Post op week 14. Healing well. My surgeon has released me to run and exercise as I wish.

I have reduce my bra size from a 36E/F to 36B (full). Or 34C (which women know is the same size cup).

My belly and legs have gone soft and fluffy. So I welcome the Spring and being free to run again outside! But I wouldn’t trade a day exercise restricted to go back to this size!

Hope you all are happy and getting plenty of Vitamin D! ☀️☀️☀️☀️

💋

Waiting 'til I have the money for breast reduction surgery so I don't have to go through all of the red tape of it being a trans-affirming surgery and also because I have such a bad back I could convince the docs that it's for my back.

in a normal way.

yk?

I've been mulling over getting breast reduction surgery for a while now and I had the first appointment with the plastic surgeon today (thanks to the support of my wife - you support me like no bra ever could).

Insurance covers the operation starting from 400 grams of tissue removed per breast

Surgeons guesses she'll be removing 600 grams per in my case

'do you want to go down to a C or a D?' I haven't been a C since I was 14! I've no clue! I'm a 75J right now I can't imagine what the first half of the alphabet is like anymore!

(only pasi is actually a 75D so we'd be bosom buddies haha)

Surgeon: "And then we'll be reducing the nipple to a size of 4 cm, which has scientifically been proven to be the most attractive size..."

Me: "I don't actually care about attractive - what causes the least complications?"

Surgeon:"Ah it's more like we needed a standard size for the, ah, moulds (makes a circle with fingers) so we went with the scientifically most attractive size..."

(I'd like to see those scientific papers.)

Biggest headache right now is the 'you won't be allowed to lift over 3 kilos for three weeks' which is not ideal when you have a toddler.

YES!!!

I got a consultation for a breast reduction surgery finally! A lot of people don’t know you have to go through the government funded healthcare for this surgery in Ontario, even private clinics can’t do it, but I was advised (after 4 years of being given the run-around or being ignored completely) to look at out-of-province options and like… bam! Got a consultation on the 24th in Québec. 🥰😁☺️ I’ll likely have to go off some meds and lose some weight but I cannot believe this!

I’m so happy!!!!

I’m not trans, but i had a breast reduction at 22 and because of that I have the same anchor scars that many trans men get after top surgery.

I like to think of them as my “scar brothers,” or “brothers in scars” if you will. Scar Siblings for my nonbinary peeps.

I think it’s neat.

CW: Medical stuff under the cut

If I was going to say anything else it would be a note on said scars -

If you find your top surgery scars healed super thick and you find that upsetting, you can get them redone several years after your initial surgery and they will heal better the second time. (My insurance covered it as a “follow up operation” ymmv) (also no shame if you like your scars thick, that’s totally cool too).

The reason for this (to my limited knowledge) is because your first surgery is a much deeper heal. The cut went deep, and a bunch of stuff was removed, so the body had to heal all the way from the tissues to the skin all at once. Deeper cuts often end up in bigger scars.

However!! If you come back a few years later after the initial surgery has fully healed and settled (I think mine was 3-5 years? Not sure) and get the scars redone (they cut the scar out and sew up the unscarred skin on both sides) the scar generally ends up much smaller and less noticeable.

My first scars were big, ropey, and purple in some areas. They were very obvious and the keloids would hurt when I hit them by accident.

My second set of scars are much MUCH better. In some areas it’s hard to even notice them. They’re flat and the coloring is barely notable. I have one or two spots that are thicker but on the whole, the scarring is much less noticeable and less painful.

So just something to keep in mind if the look or feel of your scars bothers you.

Best of luck all my scar siblings!! (and wear your scar tape post surgery, it helps keep those scars flat and provides support to the skin so it doesn’t get shuffled about or pulled apart by movement and gravity and helps control keloiding)

First things of note:

•I can see my feet when I stand up now.

• I’m not having to crane my neck to use my phone.

• My button ups look way cooler now 😎

Please help me get top surgery!

Hi, my name is Sam and I am transgender but i can’t have proper top surgery due to my family situation. On top of the disphoria, the weight of my chest is causing problems with my spine and posture. I‘m in near constant pain every day.

I can‘t get gender reafirming surgery because of my parents, but because of the pain I’m in and the physical impact it’s having on my day to day life, they’ve agreed to breast reduction surgery. It’s not the same, but it’s something that will have a huge positive impact in my life.

I’m so sorry to ask, I feel terrible, but we just can’t afford it. We’re paying what we can ourselves but the cost is enormous all in. If i can’t raise the money, nothing is going to change and I desperately need the situation to improve.

I’ve tried binding but it’s deeply uncomfortable and not especially effective due to the size of my chest. And even if I can mask it a little, I still know they’re there, I can still feel them, and I can’t put into words how difficult it is to live with. I’ve tried to knuckle under and live with my lot, but I can’t do it anymore.

This means everything to me, so please, please anything at all you’d be willing to give would mean the absolute world to me. I can’t express in words how grateful I would be for any help. Even pennies makes a difference.

And if you can’t spare anything, please, please consider reblogging to help spread this around so people who can and might be willing to help could see it.

Thank you so, so much.

£10/£5000

I know it’s a lot to ask for, but the surgery is incredibly expensive.

You can donate here (gofundme) or here (justgiving)

EDIT: Thank you so so much for donating, it means more than I can possibly explain.

hey, i saw you answered another ask about your breast reduction (already a while back) and if you‘re ok with it i was wondering if you‘d be comfortable talking about what the healing process after surgery was like for you. did you have a lot of pain? what kind of pain was it? how long did it take for you to be able to do things relatively normally again without too much pain or getting tired? could you do most things on your own or did you need help from your family? please don‘t feel like you have to respond though!!

Don't worry, I'm totally okay with questions!

Question uno : was it a lot of pain? I wouldn't say a lot, mostly uncomfortable but not painful in my experience! The most physically painful moments I would say are right when you wake up from surgery. It's not even exactly pain, more like, your brain hasn't registered it yet, far as you know a minute ago you were still in the surgery block (anesthesia is crazy hfhf) and all of a sudden you're waking up with this huge pressure from the compression bandages around your chest, no one told me about it so that was wild hfhfh. Then obviously the next few days can be hard, so if you'll be going through this alone I'd recommend getting enough food and all the supplies you need before surgery, because you won't exactly feel like going out. And yeah, you get bruises from how compressed your chest has to be, and the scars can itch (which is good! It means they're healing!). Overall it wasn't painful for me, the only moment where it was painful was on day 5 for some reason? I couldn't do anything. So here's some advice : if you have a huge pillow or a bean bag, put it behind your back in bed, it'll make getting up much easier. If you are alone, get everything to a reachable height, you kinda get dynosaur arms hrhr. I didn't need medicines to help out with the pain, except on day 5, so have them ready! Gather as many distractions and friends as you can, and remember that is is so SO SOO worth it.

Then how long till you can do things normally? I'd say that depends on your activities and on the person, but the worst is the first week, second and third weeks are uncomfortable but not painful, and then start of the fourth week post-op, you can very much become a human again! Just avoid sports and swimming and all that. :]

And if you need help from friends/family, I wouldn't say it's absolutely necessary, again get all the supplies/food you need before hand if you're alone and make things reachable. Obviously, having family/friends can make it easier. My sibling got me to the hospital and filled all the needed paperwork when I wasn't in the headspace to do it, my mum went to the pharmacy for me when I couldn't, and my dad drove me to and back from the hospital to avoid the metro. It's definitely do-able alone, but as always the power of friendship is pretty cool, even if we're just talking discord friends!

One last little advice, if you're spending the night at the hospital before or after the surgery, get a comfort object, something that reminds you of home. I wish I had taken my teddy bear Bart for that first night! 🐻

Overall, it sure was an uncomfortable month, and I had quite a few strangers see some places I didn't want them to see (they were very professional about it, they see this stuff and much more everyday, if you're anxious about that I promise it's going to be okay. It's just another Thursday for them), but WOAHWIE is it amazing now. No more backpains, I get to be myself and wear all the clothes I want, I can run??? And this weird heavy, dark sensation in front of you, and all the eyes you constantly feel staring at you, it stops. And that's incredible.

#So yeah!!! Again if you want to talk about it more or ask more questions go ahead! ❤️✨✨#SavoieText #Surgery #Surgery tw #Hospital #Medical tw #breast reduction surgery

Hellsite residents, neighbors,

I am getting a breast reduction surgery tomorrow. I've had chronic back ache and skin problems since I was around 14. I'm 23 now. I finally have the balls and the finances to go through with it. I'll be in the hands of a good surgeon and I'll be discharged the same day but I'm very scared and nervous about going into surgery, so pls keep me in ur prayers.

I don't strictly believe in any religion, I just like the idea of a God a lot, so pls put in a good word for me with your deity of choice. I'll take all the chances I can get :)

As my Google calendar says "Happy Boobsn't Day" to all those who celebrate 🎉

Hi Bunnies

Here are the first pictures of me after my breast reduction and lift 10 days ago. I still have a lot of swelling in my abdomen and bust area. Lots of bruising. But I’m off narcotics and I’m sleeping through the night. Try sleeping flat of your back all night. Misery!

No running or lifting for 4 weeks. But I can start walking and light upper body exercises this week.

Comparison photo: May 2020 versus January 2023.

201 lbs versus ~138 lbs.

Life doesn’t stop at menopause. I will trust my journey in 2023.

💋
