How should nipple healing progress? I know it may not be the same for everybody but I'm sure there's a general progression. What colours does it go through? What healing changes does it go through?

I guess I'm paranoid my nipples won't heal well. It doesn't help hearing about horror stories of them falling off. :o

Can't be of much help but just wanted to suggest checking out youtube videos of guys having top surgery and that I've talked to many many guys who've had top surgery and never heard of that happening so I just wanted to reassure you that them falling off is probably very incredibly rare.

Yeah, I know it's rare but it's a horrifying thought. :o I remember a long time ago a guy on here saying it happened to him.

Mine started out black/dark brown when I first saw them.  Then they started peeling and became raw pink.  After that, they mostly darkened to a dusky pinkish brown that was their original color with the exception of the center, which is more pink.  I am only 6 months post op, so I am not at the end product and cannot answer whether the centers will eventually match the rest.

In the very beginning is it normal to have some very slight bleeding? I thought the nipples would be fully healed by 6 months. How long do they usually take?

BTW your chest looks awesome.

Thanks.

Bleeding a bit is normal, because they are scabby, so they may crack and ooze some blood. 

It is not so much that they are not healed in the sense that they have scabs or anything, because in that case they are; it is more the things that take longer to return to normal that are taking their time.  Things like pigmentation and sensation (if they do improve, for some people it just does not happen) though take much longer than the scabby woundedness to heal.
