#top surgery thoughts

[pop-punk-butch]

I keep imagining how sick it’ll be to wear an open button up shirt if I get top surgery

To feel the warm air and the sun on my chest at the pool

To workout freely without being self conscious of my chest

Never having to bind again

Feeling comfortable and confident in my body and clothing

Honestly half the reason I want top is so I can walk around shirtless, like,,, yeah I do have some dysphoria related to my chest (and I have back pain so at least a reduction is Medically Necessary) but sometimes I just wanna walk around the house wearing joggers and nothing else, ya know? I think I deserve that

Shoutout to my sibling who, when I was freshly post-op on my top surgery and had hung my drains on my button up top...

Thought my shirt was mis-buttoned and ending up yanking the drains.

8/10 pain. Very bad.

11/10 shame for them. In their own words: "Oh my fucking god what did I just do? I am so sorry. Oh no. Oh fuck. Are you okay?"

(They paid my anime subscription, so we are good now)

Dear fellow queer tumblr users, I have a question for you.

To those of you who have gotten topsurgery/a double mastectomy or want to do so in the future, how did you figure out that it'd be the right thing for you to do? And to everyone, on a broader scale, how did you decide that any sort of medical transition was or wasn't the right call? I'm trying to figure out my goals and any insight would be very appreciated, so thank you in advance!

I am having top surgery next week.

I am fucking terrified. And I am not quite sure why.

Im gonna live blog my thoughts here. Maybe having an audience will help.

There's the regular medical paranoia. What if something goes wrong? What if I get sick as a result of planned surgery?

Well, i already did that, yeah? I was the "once in a career" complication the last time I had surgery.

Ok, fair, thats a good reason to be scared of surgery.

But I will be at the same good hospital as last time. Thats quite literally what pushed you to choose this surgeon, yeah, self?"

(Yes, I think of myself in the second person. I wish I knew why.)

Having thoughts about top surgery and more so a tattoo to sit underneath the scars, i really like the idea of having each half of a greek laurel underneath them, yes they are usually given to heroes or winners but they also represent peace, and having my boobs gone will give me much peace

Grafts are wild man. They literally cut my nipples off, cut a bit of skin the same size as the nipple off, and stuck the nipple on. And my body is like, oh, ok, I guess that’s where that goes now. And they do it with much larger pieces of skin! And it works! Modern medicine is amazing.

My feelings on top surgery (for myself) are that I don't feel the desperate need to get them removed (for a few reasons I'd totally be willing to elaborate on if anyone asked), but also if I somehow end up with breast cancer, then I'll absolutely be using that as an opportunity to get those fuckers chopped off. Silver linings and all that jazz.
