it's been like 2 years since my top surgery and this is literally the first I'm hearing of massaging scar tissue lumps hello?

YEAH i dont exactly know what causes them, but if you had a larger chest prior to the surgery and also got lipo during ur top surgery it can heighten the chances of internal scar tissue! bc theres just More that has to be removed so the physical trauma is a bit larger ig? i believe this happens after any major surgery in a relatively fatty area of the body, its just how fat Heals i gues !

getting rid of any hardness after top surgery (whether it be scar tissue, hematoma or calcified seroma) usually involves a TON of massaging to help break down whatever it is and have it reabsorbed into the body.

dont get me started on the popping and the squelching sounds that can happen bc of these (i actually got a recording of it to send to my surgeon bc i was Scared LMAO). its kinda nasty feeling but relatively temporary and completely normal. im also only 3 months post op so im still healing:) what matters is my chest Looks good and i feel good n happy! aside from scar tissue pain,,,

double incision = name of a metal band

keyhole = britpop band that never took off

fishmouth = largely forgotten 60s hippie psychedelic rock band with small cult following

periareolar = stylized as Perry Areola, drag king pop singer

inverted t anchor = industrial music

[triptychofvoids]

hello doc, in your opinion what is the best method for top surgery (ex. keyhole, double incision, fish mouth) ?

what i consider the 'best' method of top surgery depends entirely on both chest size and skin elasticity! theres no overall best method, just what will be best for the person. the surgeon will most likely chose the method or at least tell you which of the methods they will be able to do for you, and if you want a different method done for whatever reason that is something you will have to talk with the surgeon about.

keyhole and periareolar usually work best for small chest sizes, for a medium size your surgeon may decide on periareolar, buttonhole, double incision, or inverted t, and for larger chests usually buttonhole or double incision! but like i said, it will vary depending on exact size and skin elasticity. that doesnt mean you will get no say in the matter though, just that you will have to talk to the surgeon about specifics and what sort of results you want!

does casio have top surgery scars that we dont see or did he get that magic top surgery?

I actually thought about this a bit while I was recovering from my own top surgery! Personally, I don't mind "magical" transitioning as a trope or concept because you bet your ass if magic was real I'd be using it on myself, and we're all just trying to have fun here anyway.

That being said, in a non-magical or more literal interpretation of the fiction, I've been working under the loose idea that Casio had periareolar top surgery (which, I'm gonna be honest, I did not know about until last year).

For those who are squeamish/don't want to risk seeing medical photos in a Google search, periareolar top surgery is when incisions are made around the areola in order to remove breast tissue. The incisions and scars themselves are a lot less apparent when compared to double incision mastectomies (the other type of top surgery that leaves curved scars at the base of the chest), so they're functionally invisible when it comes to art and drawing Casio's chest.

Anyway, that's about as deeply as I've thought about it. Thank you for the question!

I’ve had 4 chest surgeries over my 13 years in medical transition and I’m here to say: sometimes it’s not just one surgery!

My first surgery was a periareolar because I was a good candidate for it (very small chested, good skin elasticity). The result was— in a word— disappointing, and I was very self conscious of some skin sagging and larger than average nipples. This was compounded by some pretty vicious bullying I experienced related to how my chest looked (don’t EVER mock gender-affirming surgery results— truly vile thing to do).

I had a small revision to resolve the sagging skin— so things were better for a while.

I decided, after a few years, to get a revision to make my nipples smaller. This went well, though they weren’t reduced to the size I had been hoping.

Last year I decided to pursue a “re-do”. I knew that further nipple/areola revisions were unlikely to produce the results I wanted and felt that removing my nipples all together would be the closest I could get to what I wanted. I had learned a lot about nipple tattooing and I didn’t care about nipple sensation so the idea of choosing the size and placement of my nipples was really appealing— even if they would be 2D/aesthetic.

I went to a surgeon who agreed with my plan and proposed a double incision, no nipple grafts. It also turned out that I had residual tissue in my chest that a previous surgeon had said was my sternum… this wasn’t the case. I had surgery, which removed my nipples, added horizontal double incision scars and made my chest flatter. A few months ago I went for my first nipple tattoo session :)

I’m really happy with how things look… and it also took a long time to get here. My chest isn’t perfect, no chest is, but I am writing this to acknowledge that surgery (for many) isn’t a one and done and perfect thing. Disappointment is real. Post-op depression is real. And a journey after your long journey to get that initial surgery is very real.

I chose to have additional surgeries and had the resources to do this. Not everyone does or wants to. Whatever your situation please know that you aren’t alone if you don’t have that “this is perfect” awestruck moment on chest reveal day. Allow healing, allow time, allow disappointment and honesty and ask about options— it’s not as unusual a circumstance as it may seem!

Kind of a weird question, but how come Ingo has top surgery scars but not Emmet? Only fraternal twins can be different sexes at birth as far as I'm aware, and Ingo and Emmet are very likely identical twins considering how similar they look. I hope I don't sound too intrusive, I'm just curious because I'm an identical twin myself and pick out these kinds of details pretty easily.

youre good and thank you for the curiosity! my hc for them is ingo got double incision while emmet got periareolar, hence no visible scar!

for the most part while theyre young, thin, somewhat fit guys there isn't much of a physical difference other than scarring. and with clothes on theyre identical! but as they get older and put on some weight emmet does get generally floppier man titties than ingo just because of the nature of the procedure with his specific body. i try to differentiate their older body shapes with this in mind especially when they're shirtless but sometimes i make them a bit too similar!

and of course i apologize for any inaccuracies with this! im continuing to do research on it and gathering from as many sources as i can but ive definately got more info to nab! so while this is the current hc some things might be subject to change :3c

[camkablam]

on anon bc i've always been afraid to ask in case this is offensive but why are double mastectomies referred to as top surgery? is it a dysphoric thing? or is it just shorthand /gen

hello!!! this isn't offensive at all!

'Top surgery' is a generalised term because there are multiple different kinds of surgery you can get, most of them depending on stuff like size and what you yourself want out of it. There's keyhole surgery, periareolar and (the most commonly known one) double incision. The last two both fall under 'double masectomy.'

Here's an extract about the differences between periareolar and double incicsion from The T in LGBT+ by Jamie Raines!

And here's a really helpful video talking more about the different kinds of top surgery there is!

In General: people say 'top surgery' instead of just 'double masectomy' because there are different kinds of ways to get top surgery! It's also just a more casual way of talking about it (as you said, shorthand!) and is used solely by and for the trans community. Same applies to bottom surgery!

top surgery planning / blunt personal venting

*- -*

I think I've decided I'm gonna work to find a surgeon that's willing to do periareolar on a b-cup!

Have been feeling odd and off about the double incision results I've seen lately. They often look great, but when I picture embodying it, I dont feel quite right. I've worked out it's not the scars that bother me, it's the nipples. They look, because I suppose they are, ornamental. Lobbed off and pasted back on.. I don't like that for my body, I don't want to be severed from my nipples.. That makes me tremendously uncomfortable.

I have always felt incredibly awkward and unhappy with my tits but only because they're big and floppy (big for male tits at least. Kinda masculine/man tit looking but way oversized for even male Gynecomastia) Not because of the sensation or general vibe of having a bit of something there.

I can't say I wholey feel alienated from my chest, just greatly unhappy with the size of it. The extremeness.

I don't want a totally lean, totally unfamiliar chest with (most likely numb) little nubby thumbtack nipples. That doesn't feel right, it just feels like it solves a problem. The idea of my chest and nipples as I know them but simply drawn inwards, seems so RIGHT.

They'd maybe be a little puckered and low for a typical male chest - honestly most results I've seen, even if they don't meet the cis or trans male beauty standard - they still look typically male. And I think for my body type and lifestyle I could bulk out my pecs okay to get everything looking firmer anyway.

I think I'm set! Which is a big call because my size would be for sure considered only borderline eligible by most surgeon's standards. So I might end up having to travel because I've been yet to find any experienced surgeons here in Australia..

But I'm gonna chase someone with the right skills and experience because fuck it, it's my one and only body and if I'm gonna front up the bravery and money to change it, I'm not taking a compromise for convention's sake.

SIDENOTE I'm so happy for the people who feel elated and at ease with their DI results! It doesn't ick me on others, just the idea of it on me 🙏

What is Breast Lift/Uplift?

A breast lift, referred  to mastopexy in medical terms, is a surgical treatment used to lift and reshape sagging breasts. Women who have had their breast shape and position altered by aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, or genetics frequently opt for this surgery.

Depending on the individual anatomy and objectives of the patient, many surgical techniques may be utilised during a breast lift. Numerous incision patterns are frequently used, including as the periareolar (around the areola), vertical (lollipop-shaped incision), and anchor (inverted T-shaped incision) techniques. 

Factors Influencing the Longevity of Breast Uplift Results

The longevity of breast uplift results can vary from person to person and is influenced by several factors:

1. Age and Genetics

The age and genetic predisposition significantly affect how long the breast uplift results will last. Younger individuals with good skin elasticity tend to experience longer-lasting results. Additionally, genetics can influence the breast shape and how susceptible you are to sagging over time.

2. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Pregnancy and breastfeeding can have a significant impact on the breasts. The stretching and engorgement that occur during pregnancy, as well as the changes that come with breastfeeding, can lead to breast sagging. If you undergo a breast uplift before having children and subsequently become pregnant, it may affect the longevity of the results.

Fluctuations in body weight can affect the breasts. Significant weight gain and loss can cause the skin and breast tissue to stretch and contract repeatedly, which may impact the results of a breast uplift. Maintaining a stable weight can help prolong the effects of the surgery.

4. Lifestyle and Habits

Lifestyle choices can also influence how long the breast uplift results last. Smoking, for example, can hinder the body's natural healing process and accelerate skin aging, potentially reducing the longevity of the procedure's effects. Maintaining a healthy diet and exercise routine can help support the overall health of the body and skin.

While there are factors beyond the control that can affect the longevity of breast uplift results, there are steps you can take to help maintain the rejuvenated breasts:

1. Follow Post-Operative Care Instructions

The plastic surgeon will provide patients special post-operative care recommendations after the breast uplift procedure. One must strictly adhere to these instructions. This includes using advised compression devices, taking prescribed medications, and attending any further appointments to track the healing process.

2. Guard the Skin Against the Sun

Overexposure to the sun can age skin more quickly and change how the breasts look. Use sunscreen with a suitable SPF and stay out of the sun for as long as possible to protect the results. While tanning, using supportive swimwear or a bra can assist keep breast form and contour.

3. Keep the Weight Stable

As already discussed, weight changes might affect how well a breast uplift works. To prevent stretching the breast tissues, work to maintain a steady and healthy weight with a balanced diet and regular exercise.

4. Consume a Balanced Diet and Stay Hydrated.

For healthy skin, proper nutrition and hydration are crucial. The flexibility of the skin and the general health of the breasts can be supported by getting enough water and eating a diet high in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

5. Take Into Account Support Bras

The results of a breast uplift can be maintained by using supportive bras that fit appropriately. A well fitted bra offers the support required to reduce sagging and discomfort.

6. Stop Smoking

Consider stopping smoking, or at the very least, cut back on the smoking. Smoking has been linked to premature aging of the skin, slowed healing, and impaired blood circulation.

7. Consistent Breast Evaluation

The look of the breasts and any changes that might take place over time should be monitored carefully. Consult the plastic surgeon for advice if you detect any substantial changes or are concerned about the outcomes of the breast uplift lasting a long time.

Conclusion

Age, genetics, lifestyle, and surgical technique are some of the factors that can affect how long breast uplift effects last. Although results may vary from person to person, maintaining a steady weight, living a healthy lifestyle, and adhering to post-operative care recommendations can all help to extend the effects of a breast uplift. Moreover, it is crucial to speak with a qualified plastic surgeon about the goals and worries if you want to achieve and retain the results you want. Ultimately, with the right care and attention, a breast uplift can offer long-lasting advantages, enabling you to maintain a refreshed and assured appearance for years to come.

How Do You Achieve the Most Natural-Looking Implants?

Many patients seeking augmentation don’t want an obviously excessively large look, but instead are aiming for more natural-looking breast implants. St. Louis’ West County Plastic Surgeons of Washington University says that for individuals considering breast augmentation, achieving natural-looking results is often a top priority.

Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Terry Myckatyn explains, “Many patients prefer more a more subtle, understated outcome from breast augmentation rather than exaggerated or cartoonish results. The goal is to enhance one's appearance while maintaining harmony with their overall body proportions. So the question is: How do you avoid a ‘fake’ look from breast augmentation and get the most subtle, balanced results that fit you? Although breast implants have come a long way in terms of technology and customization, there are several key factors to consider to ensure that the outcome is as natural-looking as possible.”

Continue reading for some of the best tips for natural-looking implants. 

1. Communicate Clearly 

The journey toward natural-looking breast implants begins with an open and thorough consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. During this discussion, it's essential to communicate your aesthetic goals, expectations, and concerns. 

2. Choose the Right Type of Implant 

Selecting the appropriate implant type is crucial for achieving a natural appearance. Saline and silicone implants are the two main options, each with its own advantages. Silicone implants tend to mimic the feel of natural breast tissue more closely, while saline implants might provide a more adjustable size after the surgery. Your surgeon can guide you through the pros and cons of each type based on your desired outcome.

3. Focus on Proportion and Size

When aiming for natural-looking results, maintaining proportionality is key. The size of the implants should be in harmony with your body frame and existing breast tissue. Sometimes it may seem like bigger is better, but it may be better to choose the smallest size that allows you to achieve your goals. Implants that are too large can lead to an unnatural appearance and potential complications. 

4. Consider Implant Placement

Implant placement plays a significant role in achieving natural results. There are two main options: submuscular (under the chest muscle) and subglandular (above the muscle). Submuscular placement tends to offer more coverage over the implant, creating a more subtle transition between the implant and the breast tissue. This type of placement is often best for a patient who is thin and very flat-chested. 

6. Pay Attention to Incision Placement

The location of the incision is another crucial consideration. Incisions can be made in the crease under the breast (inframammary), around the areola (periareolar), or in the armpit (transaxillary). The choice of incision placement can impact scarring and the final appearance. Your surgeon will discuss the options and help you choose the one that aligns with your aesthetic goals.

7. Check the Quality of a Surgeon's Work

Perhaps the most important factor in achieving natural-looking breast implants is the skill and experience of the surgeon performing the procedure. Look for a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in breast augmentation and has a portfolio showcasing consistent, natural results. Reviews, before-and-after photos, and patient testimonials can provide insights into the surgeon's expertise.

8. Maintain Realistic Expectations

While breast augmentation can yield remarkable results, it's crucial to maintain realistic expectations. Natural-looking implants enhance your existing features without drastically altering your appearance. Understand that slight asymmetry and imperfections are normal and can contribute to a genuine and authentic look.

9. Follow Post-Operative Guidelines

The journey isn’t over after your procedure. What you do during recovery is also important. After the surgery, adhering to post-operative guidelines is essential for optimal healing and results. Follow your surgeon's recommendations for rest, recovery, and any necessary medications. 

10. Be Patient 

The final result of breast augmentation takes time to fully manifest. Swelling will gradually subside, and the implants will settle into their natural position. It's common for the breasts to evolve in appearance over the first few months. You can expect implants to drop slightly to a lower, more natural position and “fluff” or fill out the breasts better as time goes on. Trust the process and maintain open communication with your surgeon during this period.
