Luckily enough, they don't use drains. The compression garment is what is going to drive me to drink but I understand it's necessary lol. Thanks for the well wishes!

Having not heard of Scott Harris and the fact that you are getting in so quickly gave me pause. Usually one waits over 6 months - 1 year for top surgery when you are dealing with a good surgeon. I checked out his site. Although surgeons always put up there best work, it is pretty obvious that he really knows what he is doing. He has a good amount of pictures up and you can see how he adjusts his incisions deftly, based on body type. I know that you had a breast reduction before. I assume that you had incisions under the breasts? Are you getting DI? If so, does he plan to just follow those incision scars?

Been worried about how my core will look after the
top surgery removing size DD beasts. Got a beer gut too even though don't drink beer, in fact hate the stuff. Am sure gut will look like a mountain. Will be glad to get the breasts gone, though. I am waiting for Internal Med. and Cardio. clearance then my surgeon is ready to schedule the case. Probably be done 1 month later. Dapper, got a question after reading about guy's drains. My surgeon told me there would no liposuction. Does that mean there will be "dog ears" automatically? |

You will see some grossly overweight guys have fat on the sides of their chest, which they call dog ears. However, this is actually back fat and a different procedure would need to be done. Regarding liposuction, I was just at a trans live surgical training this past week. One of this morning's live surgeries was double incision top surgery. Dr. Bluebond-Langner was saying that she never uses lipo when doing top surgery because there is too much of a chance of having flat spots. I think that makes sense.

Another quick question.
Why can't it be done using laser instead of scalpel? Seems like it would be less damaging to the surrounding tissue? One more, ok? Do they do it with the patient supine or prone? It scares me to be turned upside down. They'd better put me out first! |

They do your surgery while you are on your back. Most surgeons sit you straight up once or twice during the surgery (to have a looksee), and hopefully will have you in this position when they determine nipple placement. You are welcome to ask me as many questions as you would like.

cathexis, one other comment.
If you have a preference for areola size, you should talk ask your surgeon what measurement he uses.

Have a couple more follow-up questions. Isn't the usual, dime sized? What other sizes do guys want? The skin stretches over time, yes? Do the surgeons normally leave the color unchanged? Men in my family had darker areolas. Do most docs do their top surgeries out-patient? How long do guys normally have pain after a double incision surgery? |

Your areolas will be the same color as they are now. Your surgeon should remove your areola/nipple complex. He should cut down the size of each. He should stich the areola on first and then stitch the nipple into the center. Some surgeons make oval shaped areolas because they can stretch diagnoally over time. Did your surgeon not go over how he does his areola/nipples? I don't know of any who do inpatient. What does your surgeon do? Pain varies between people. I used pain meds for only a handful of days (2-3?) and then used extra strength Tylenol like twice. The bulk of the pain for me was the drains. If you have drains, they are tubes pressed roughly against your sides by either a vest or a wrap. It sucks. Will you be getting a vest or a wrap?

What size should I ask them to make the areola/nipple if intending to get good sized nipple piercings (12g) once healed. Do you recommend that I share those plans with him. Will the prospect of me getting re pierced (had piercings before that had grown out) effect his remolding of the areola or nipple. One of the nipples is split and the other has a very shallow old piercing. Do I need to tell him about this, or can it wait for him to discover in the OR? No, he tells me that it will be outpatient surgery. My Partner (also a RN) is really leery of that due to my health problems. She wants me to stay overnight, if possible. We both appreciate having someone around that I feel comfortable asking the questions that I am unable to ask him. Thank you. |

Finally had my top surgery on Wednesday.. I'm sore as hell but nothing I can't live with and a little pain medicine to help a long the way lol. I'm in a compression garment so can't really see my chest but it is weird to look down and see my stomach lol.
life is good..

My Partner is going in July for theirs. It's been a long trip and I am glad that we are finally doing this. Just to see them finally be their self will be awesome.
I would like to ask what do you need most from a partner after our top surgery? I guess I would love to know how to make this easier for my partner.
