Okey dokey, Mr. Clone Man.

they got back to me, and told me that sometimes this just happens. i was instructed to put neosporin on it and keep it covered up, and that a nurse will call me tomarrow about it.

its not a big deal apparently. wen i changed my tape today there was no more pus or grossness so thats good news.

Those look perfect, Jay! How many months/weeks are you out?

Interesting about the blue line. It is interesting to see how all bodies respond and can look differently as they heal, all getting to the same place in the end.

Glad to hear it, FB. What kind of tape are you putting on every day? Is there anything between the tape and the skin? What is the purpose of the tape?

4+ months. I think they look pretty good but have obviously not "popped" as the nipple I think is a little inside or something. I think the I may have laid on something and so bruised it. It would probably be more prone to that.

Funny thing, there is a long discussion of nipple placements since I put mine up. Coincidence, or just that there were a few pix of nipples lately.

It's a really silly word btw.

I can see where you said the nipple hasn't popped in the first picture (if I look hard), but it looks like it has in the second? The first one looks fine to me, anyway.

Yeah the left one looks fine. I think in some way the picture looks more out than the actual right nipple. I'm guessing they eventually come along. I've heard healing is actual a lot slower than you might think.

I had my top surgery on the 29th of Jan. Had peri-areolar technique with Mr Yelland (though he rarely does it as he mostly do the DI) So i took the risk as he seems happy to do it. All went well and im happy how it came out. I did have an infection on one of my nipple 3/4 weeks in and was worried how it would look once it was gone and healed. But my infection went away quickly after having some antibiotic cream and tablets. So here it is 6 weeks post op.

Hey, Rex, it looks great! Thanks for sharing!

Kreuzfidel · March 14, 2014, 08:34:00 PM

Thanks man, i went out a few days ago in just a t-shirt, i still feel like i have to hide it still and still feel like i have a lumps there but i will get use to it, just a weird feeling but also glad now they are gone.

Almost 9 weeks here and I got out of the shower and part of my incision line was puffed like a big white zit. I barely touched it and pus and blood came out. It was only a little spot along the line but I don't think it should be doing that. It was fine earlier.

It should be fine. Just put a little antibiotic ointment on it and a bandage for two days.

1 week post op.

Bimmer Guy · March 19, 2014, 07:55:08 PM

Thanks for posting in the thread.

Kreuzfidel · March 19, 2014, 08:04:04 PM

Wow, Darrin, you look amazing!!! And I agree - so happy! You have reason to be - your chest looks really great, nice and symmetrical (and flat haha)

Darrin Scott · March 19, 2014, 09:01:19 PM

I love my chest. I was a 40g pre op. I have no dog ears either!

You said your surgeon was good with bigger guys. Good choice!

I know. Sorry to sound redundant. I'm just really excited. Thanks everyone for the nice words!

Your chest looks awesome, congrats! A 40 G before surgery? Wow, I'm sure that's a huge relief having them gone.
