That is important information, and our team is grateful to know that this is helpful for folks who would need to see this before considering top-surgery.
Dr. Scott Mosser, Transgender Top Surgeon I had the surgery here in Cincinnati! My surgeon was great just failed to mention this process! I did a bunch of research and found that a lot of people said that they panicked too until it was explained that that is normal! I did document my experience on my channel! I too wanted to help guys dealing with gynecomastia understand the process!
I just realized this video addresses a tranagender population. I still want to thank you, I learned more here than with ny surgeon. If I may, I had a breast reduction (G to C cup) and two months after surgery and one nipple is still onberted while the other one is barely out :( I feel I've lost my femininity 😢 plus the pigmentation and puffiness is horrible. Thanks for your video, patience is all I have and hope for the best.
Thank you so much, this is extremely helpful!! I am 2 weeks post-op and my nipples look so crusty and miscolored, I'm glad to know that's what it should look like and it will flake off on its own.
Thank you so much! I’ve been insanely anxious about the occasional yellow stuff on my gauze pads when I change them. I am relieved but still anxious, mostly because I think I’m going to screw this up.
Hello! Thank you so much for this video! This isn't something you expect when you get top surgery and my surgeon didn't go into detail with how it would look like during the first month, so naturally I panicked when my nipples started to look like dry bacon! I remember sending pictures to my surgeon and I was very surprised -yet relieved- when he told me they were doing amazingly! I also found your video while anxiously waiting for his answer and it helped me quite a bit with the paranoia. I'm now 2 months post op and my nipples are way past the stressful scabbing process and they look amazing! I'll send your video to every single person who's about to get top surgery so they don't get too anxious about their grafts.
How's the pigmentation? I'm at two months and one nipple is still inverted 😢, the other I can barely see it. Some parts of the areola are puffy. Disclaimer: I'm a female who had a breast reduction (from a G to a C) with free nipple grafting.
@@IlianaGuadalupe What do you mean by "inverted"? I don't think nipples should be inverted or invisible. Could you call your surgeon to be sure? It's hard to tell without seeing pictures. I'm so infinitely sorry you're going through such a stressful situation!
@@IlianaGuadalupe Oh, I completely get that! English isn't my birth language either. We're your nipples flat before the surgery! I know that some people have "inverted" nipples naturally. Where are your areolas puffy exactly? Around the incisions or at random spots? I had some puffiness at a random spot and it was nothing. I think I'm starting to understand your situation. My nipples were also completely flat for the first few months because they were somewhat lifeless. As time went on they started to react to the weather again. Could you get into more detail about what it looks like? Can't you see them at all? I still suggest contacting your surgeon if you have concerns.
You are so welcome! We would love to know who your surgeon was so we could pass this along to them if given the opportunity! It would be great if they could share this as a resource for their patients when leaving the hospital :)
Thank you so so much, we appreciate your content, we barely get people in the medical community going the extra mile for us. Quick question, is this with regards to Nipple sparring ?
You're so welcome, I'm glad this is helpful to you! In this video we are talking about Nipple Grafts which can also refer to the scars around the areolas after the nipple grafts are sewn back on. Let me know if this answers your question, thanks!
Dr. Scott Mosser, Transgender Top Surgeon thank you so much doctor. Please advise until how long do I know if I am out of danger ? Tomorrow I am 4 weeks post operation but I don’t know “how to determine if my body has accepted my nipples etc” apologies I don’t really have any support from my surgeon etc. thanks again for this kindly please keep going and making more videos you are saving lives and shaping mind sets (around pre or post surgery concerns etc) you are truly amazing
Dr. Scott Mosser, Transgender Top Surgeon after I started seeing your videos I wanted to come to America for my surgery but sadly funds don’t allow. All the best for the future we are looking forward to more content !
I feel a bit less concerned about them now, I had surgery 10 days ago & what you described is what they look like, they are not swollen but have pink around the nipple is that also a part of the healing process?
It's always best to check with your surgeon, but it can take up to a year or more until the final healing of your nipples is complete and the redness around the areolas has disappeared
How often should one wash the nipple area/change the padding around them? Does too much cleaning damage the grafts? Or is it just best to leave the area?
We recommend that our patients do not shower until after their first post-op visit. At this time, the bolsters will be removed and folks are free to shower and let soap & water run over the nipple grafts. However, folks should still not scrub the area. In the time between surgery & the post-op visit, patients do not have to do anything to the area. After the post-op, folks will be given instruction on how to care for the area. Learn more here www.genderconfirmation.com/techniques-ftm/after-surgery/ and www.genderconfirmation.com/ftm-nipple-graft-care/!
thank you for all the info!! Could you possibly explain in another video the possible complications of post-top surgery? Because I am 2 weeks post-op and I have a very small part of my scar that's a little green, my nipples have turned black, I had an abscess appear one side of my chest and now both sides are very hard under the skin, all of this already treated and explained to me by my doctor now. However, my surgeon hadn't explained these possibles problems that can occur after surgery, so I think it would be helpful for others who want to do top surgery to know what to expect and not to panic like I did xD thanks again!
Thank you very much for finding our page and sharing your questions with our team. The Gender Confirmation Center is always seeking ways to expand our digital content so that we can better provide answers to the questions you are having. Please do contact your primary care provider, or the surgeon that performed your top-surgery to inform them about the experience you are having. They are going to be able to best instruct you on what you should be expecting at this point in your recovery. In the meantime, I hope that our resources on our website dedicated to making it more clear for "what you can expect after a top-surgery procedure" can be helpful for you: www.genderconfirmation.com/time-off-from-work/
I'm so glad I came across this video, I have been anxiously looking this stuff up. Question, is it ok if there is a smell? Not like an infection, it smells medical. I have read that a lot of people can smell it too, I'm just worried about what it is. Is it possible I'm smelling the scab and the fluids?
Thanks for reaching out! I’d recommend double checking with your surgeon for confirmation, but a fluid-like or chemical-smell following surgery can be common.
I see so many videos with info on regular DI but hardly anything on keyhole recovery. Can you explain the healing process for that considering it’s a different process with how the nipples are preserved? For example, I am currently 2 weeks post op, scar tape is still on and in fact. I was able to shower and remove everything after 48 hours and never had any nipple bolsters for obvious reasons. Had my 1 week post op last Tuesday and was told everything is fine and healing well just needed to wear the vest 24/7 for the next for weeks. But now my nipples have a thick black crust ( I’m assuming it’s scabbing ) around the perimeter where the incisions were made. My doctor used glue instead of stitches so that also makes a difference. I’ve tried reaching out to my doctor and her team for more info and help but they do not respond at all as she told me during my app that her nurses rarely ever relay messages to her so she hardly is able to keep in touch with her patients due to this.
Hi sorry to hear you’re having a tough time getting in touch with your doctor’s office. However, Dr. Mosser cannot give medical advice to non-patients.
@@genderconfirmationcenterThank you for the response. I fortunately healed exceptionally with no problems and one of the best results my doctor has had!
HELLO THANK YOU! I'm two weeks post op, I have Vaseline on my nips and when changing the dressing the scabs already fell off but now my left nipple (who was an inverted nip before) is looking good except the tip part that was inverted before It's looking a bit yucky with yellowish oozing and a scab/brown part still in the middle It's very distressing to look at
I have a lot of bruising on my left side. I’m 13 days post op and my left nipple started to ooze blood (I saw the yellow fluid first, then noticed my shirt was bloody later on). Should I contact my surgeon?
Yes, anytime you are experiencing changes with your body it is best to let your surgeon & PCP know (if seeing one regularly). It is likely that you are experiencing normal bruising and fluids but is best to check in.
I’m 10 days post op, and I had taken the bandage off my nipple grafts. The nipple was kind of stuck to the gauze and pulled off some dry blood, which made a small spot bleed fair amount. (It stopped after applying a bit of pressure and a new bandage) I’m....grossed out and scared since tomorrow I can officially begin applying bacitracin to them.
That sounds like a very normal tear in skin after removing a bandage. Check in with your surgeon as soon as you can if you continue to experience bleeding and mostly hope our video here was helpful in assuring you that your chest is recovering.
I am 11 days post op and this keeps happening to me. I take off the nonstick bandage and scabby pieces of the top layer get pulled off. It bleeds a little and I can see the pink layer underneath. My nurse told me it was normal, but I’m still terrified because it’s been doing this since I was allowed to change the dressings 5 days post op. It makes me scared to change the bandages.
Snook Coleman this is a great question! Uneven nipple coloring (or in your case differing nipple color) is called "dyspigmentation" which can occur any time pigmented tissues are operated/grafted. Most patients slowly regain pigment uniformity a year or more after surgery. Some patients never fully regain the normal pigment. If pigment has not fully returned after 1 year, patients can get a tattoo to that area to restore pigment, but this is not very commonly needed
I'm worried because I took a long shower and once I started patting it dry one started to crumble like a scab so I started picking some of the one were sort of hanging off I thought I would take the whole thing off but I noticed so pink skin and some light blood me thinking the scab wasn't ready to completely ready to scab off so last night I decided to see if it was ready by trying to pluck it all off but then blood squirted a little then it stared to bleed out it stopped bleeding but now I'm worried the pieces I did pluck off were actually part of my nipple. It's sort of kinda like a half opened jar to a lid right now. The office is closed and idk what to do.
Thanks for reaching out! I’d recommend calling the office, and pressing 1. This will allow you to receive advice today, even though the office is closed.
Is it normal for the sutures to have a little gap in between them? Like looks there is a pink gap in between regular skin and the skin graft one week after when the initial dressing is removed?
When the surgeon removes the outer bolster dressing about 1 week after surgery, the grafts are a little bit delicate, but already have a new blood supply. During days 7-21 after surgery, the graft gains a lot of strength, and is quite resilient after 21 days. By 42 days (6 weeks) after surgery, the grafts should be fully healed and usually have the strength of non-grafted tissue.
Must not have done this on black guys. Pink is not something pleasant to look at on my skin and one of them stayed that way, but blotchy with pink. Got my top surgery in Nov. 2021.
Thanks for reaching out! Here’s a link to our site showing Nipple graft healing for BIPOC skin types. www.genderconfirmation.com/all-about-ftm-nipple-grafts/ Additionally, for cases that could benefit from color correcting after healing, we recommend 3D Nipple Tattooing. For information about this, we recommend ftmtattoo.com . Hope you have a nice weekend!
Im ten days post op and the original nipple graft looks like it just wiped off with the bandaid on one side and it’s just a whole lot of pink rawness is that good or bad ?
Thank you for sharing that with us. In this case, however, I would reach out to your surgeon for advice. We can only share a general idea of the healing process, though everyone's experience is slightly different!
Hello! Thanks for the to the point video-- the part abojt a clear/ pus discharge-- if that is occuring and the outer part of the nipple are healed and pink, but the center of the nipple is whitish and has that mild sticky fluid, would that be normal then?
What if I'm 4 weeks post op, and they both look completely perfect except one of them in the middle has a little bit of a sandy color of something that looks like it could be something crusty that'll fall off? My friend thinks it's infected but I didn't think about it till he mentioned it
Thanks for reaching out! We’d recommend contacting and sending photos of the area to your surgeon, so that they can assess with certainty. Hope you have a great weekend!
I have been trying to reach my surgeons office but no one is answering. I have gotten the dressings changed today (10 days post op) and 2 nurses said 2 different things. One thinks my nipples are dead and the other said it will be fine because it bled a bit meaning its alive.. Is it normal its black?
Please contact your surgeon directly and share this information. Our team does not have important information that we would need to answer this question for you. This guide here will show images of Nipple Grafts healing in different stages and the coloration of the nipple will change. I hope this can be helpful : www.genderconfirmation.com/all-about-ftm-nipple-grafts/
@@genderconfirmationcenter Thanks sorry for late reply, I only got the notification now. I could still not contact my surgeon dirrectly as i didnt have his personal number and his office still dont answer. As for the nipples they are now completely fine. Im close to 2 months post op and still have not gotten a post op appointment lol. Thank u so much for taking the time to answer i really appreciate it. Thought I would give an update that all is fine :)
Thank you so much for this update, our team is always ready to provide as much information as possible to help make sure you are well informed about what to expect for a top-surgery experience and are very glad to know that you are feeling good - and your nipples are healing just fine.
If the nipples are flat right when the bolsters are removed, will they perk up at all during recovery? I am worried that too much of my nipples were lost.
Each body is unique, and going to heal differently. There are many ways to improve the appearance of one's nipple & areola, even after having a top-surgery and it is completely valid to share these thoughts with the top-surgeon that performed your procedure! Check out this visual guide for what one can expect Nipple Grafts to look like during recovery: www.genderconfirmation.com/all-about-ftm-nipple-grafts/
For some reason the surgeons never seem to explain this before the you start to freak out! Thanks short sweet and to the point!
