Third day post-op here. Had my first follow-up appointment today and got my first look at the new chest. Very happy with how everything looks so far.
Surgeon: Robert Anooshian (through Kaiser Permanente's Gender Pathways Clinic in San Francisco). I was told Kaiser's doctors aren't allowed to promote their work directly, but you can find examples of his work on youtube, including a very funny series of hip-hop videos one guy did documenting his surgery and recovery.
Where: San Francisco, California, U.S.A.
What: Double incision w/ free nipple grafts
Time: 3 days post-op
Cost: covered by Kaiser Permanente insurance, $5 USD copay. Yes, 5 bucks for surgery. Plus about $60 for optional compression vest.
Post-op sensation: TBD, so far nipple area is more sensitive than I thought - always hated having sensitive nipples and was looking forward to the unattached nips feeling more neutral. Not too much pain, a little bit of itching where the drain tubes rub against my skin under the compression vest.
Post-op satisfaction: TBD, so far very happy.
Seeking a revision: TBD, but so far everything looks good to me.
Just posted a couple pics on transbucket - easy to find since only a couple other patients of Dr. Anooshian have posted there.
