Had my surgery a week ago and my biggest concern is my nipples falling off, they're nearly black which i guess is common but still kind of unnerving 😅 thanks for the advice I'll definitely take it to heart!
This was really helpful. I just had my consultation yesterday and I know I'll be stressed up to the surgery date but you really cleared up a lot of the anxiety. I think I'm just worried about anything going wrong. So thank you for all the information you provided!!
Thank you! This video made me feel much more at ease about the appearance, as I'm not even two weeks post op. And now knowing why stopping smoking helps makes me happy I stuck it out.
This puts my mind at ease. I'm working toward making my first consultation happen, and one of my biggest concerns was the possibility of losing my nipples. I can definitely take good care of it.
I have my top surgery in 3 weeks and this video was really helpful because my surgeon told me the risk and I have been anxious about that since. Thank you🙏
I wish my doctor would have given so much information about all of this. I also wish my surgeon was a woman I have never seen a woman surgeon and it is so cool to see one. :)
😮💨 I’m 30 days post op and have necrosis on the end of my nipple graft. Surgeon says it’s pretty common with larger nipples and often leads to a more masculine looking nipple anyways. I wish they would have told me to put some type of ointment on. They just told me leave it alone after they took the oil dressings off the following week.
thank you for explaining this in detail- it's made me feel a lot better! I just got my dressings off yesterday and I've been feeling so fragile and worried about my nipples. would you be able to tell me how risky it is to wear a seatbelt that may rub against them or to hold things against my chest or anything like that?
Taylor Hochwarth glad to hear it! So usually if you are doing something harmful your body will warn you by hurting so it’s actually very rare that patients accidentally hurt their nipples. Just use common sense and take it easy for the next couple of weeks 😉
Dr. Sidhbh Gallagher thank you so much for your quick response. My surgeon barely gave me any recovery/aftercare information, so I really appreciate it!
Hello from Spain! Thank you so much for this video! I am 4 days post op and tomorrow I will see my nips for the first time My surgeon didn’t told me any kind of care for them neither I think he would :/ so I’m gonna take your advice and use topic antibiotics
Thank you so much! My surgeon seriously gave me NO after care and I'm 2 weeks and 3 days post op and I was nervous. I also have a fluid build up so I have to go to the doctor now 😣😣 the tape over my nipples is still on and that's freaking me out! Is that normal???
Thank you for this video, very coherent! I'm about three weeks out of surgery and I use white vaseline on my nipples every night, then cover it with a compress with a kind of ointment (not sure what this would be called in english), and then cover that with a band aid. The scabs are coming off really well! So am I understanding you right: once all the scabs have come off I can stop putting anything on it? Even stop using band aids and just make sure to moisturize a few times a day?
Hi dr. What about bleeding nipple? I have my follow up on the 21 of this month.and i watched all your videos and said that dried out nipple graph and smoking are horrible for the healing process,i was already told that the nipple could be irritated but that my nipple wasnt going to fall off.and then the other 1 has the stitches coming off but is healing quite well...can you give me some advice please.being is that im security and work in the heat i only walk and ride golfcart thats it.no strenuous exercise or activities.
I'm doing my twice a day and one on my nipple dry up and when I go to reapply its tear some on the skin. I'm guessing I should more than twice and hopefully my nipple can be saved
Hi from gothenburg! Thank you for explaining so well in your video. So, I had my surgery 3 weeks ago and my surgeon gave me no care tips for the nipples besides to gently wash them, which I have be doing. But now there's some blood and pus coming out and it looks like the skin (not sure what the name is) on the right nipple is gonna fall off. I'm worried. What can I do? Any advice is welcome. Thanks.
Please help with answering my question. I went to another state to get a breast lift one of my nipple is looking black at the tip I don't know if is a bruice of a sign of necrosis what to do. The nipple still soft and worm to the touch, I would like to think that is a good sign, I can't get in touch with any of my nurses
Hi doc. I had top surgery, and my doctors told me to keep my nipples very dry the first week, and then at second or third week to start using healing cream with vitamin A. is that correct for my nipples? different doctors said different indications to me, so that was confusing. How many times at day should i put cream on my nipples and areolas?
Do nipple grafts come from doners? Like from the morgue? I don't want grafts but if i had to get one, i'd be comforted by knowing i have haunted nipples. and would work that into a halloween/pride costume
Thank you so much for this video, I’m due my top surgery in just under a month and I seem to have some sort of eczema on my nipples do you know if this would effect how my nipples take?
What do I have to do in case of one of the nipples getting infected? I’m already getting treatment/ lookups by 2 doctors but I feel like they don’t know AT ALL what they’re doing.. the skin there is white and I’m super afraid of it turning necrotic
I'm 2 days post op and trying to find the answer to this. I am an every day user of cannabis mixed with tobacco. I am desperate for a smoke, I've I've a few posts saying it's OK to smoke pure cannabis but I'm sceptic. Not wanting to loose a nipple over a joint!
is vaping thc wax also bad? i'm a marijuana patient and i vape wax. i recently had my top surgery and it's hard for me to not get medicated. Is that the same thing as well? Or is it any different? I'm kind of worried now lol
@@stevengc2.0t9I know it’s late but I had surgery a week ago and I can’t wait any longer my anxiety is bad and honestly thc cart and in general smoking marijuana helps me, did you stop ?

SeanMichael76 i had mine on until the stitches needed to be cut (so 14 days). Maybe this answer can help someone else xD
Hey, I know it’s been two years but how’d it go?
I just got to surgery and it’s stressing me out. I know that it’s super rare, but it scares me so much
My lord, thank you sooooo much!! You calmed me down. Thank you ❤️❤️

What was your outcome???
I'm allergic to most bandaid adhesives do you know of anything I could do as a bandaid replacement or work around?
So hate to bother but I had a reduction with a nipple and it’s really peeling a lot on a 1 and half post op and idk if this normal

Welp I’m screwed after a week I started vaping

Lose not loose.
what about Cannabis smoking without bacci?
I'm 2 days post op and trying to find the answer to this. I am an every day user of cannabis mixed with tobacco. I am desperate for a smoke, I've I've a few posts saying it's OK to smoke pure cannabis but I'm sceptic.
Not wanting to loose a nipple over a joint!
Just do edibles

What about smoking marijuana?
Reece Buckland as far as we know smoking ANYTHING is bad so it’s out I’m afraid as nips are healing.
Thank you for the quick response Dr. Sidhbh Gallagher. 😊
