2024.05.21 03:55 666helpp Breasts are still a small A cup after 3 years on HRT and an Orchi

For whatever reason, I haven’t gotten much growth. My levels are fine and I’m getting another blood test to make sure again. I’ve worked my way up to 8mg E2 (4mg am and 4 mg pm) a day AND have had an orchi, and still no changes.
All the women in my family are fairly large at around a DD - F so I don’t know.
I’m very self conscious about my chest and it just kind of looks like a boys chest (to me)…you can kind of see some roundness, and the nipple and areola development is ok, but it could be better. I’m now considering a BA but the only problem is I don’t want to have really fake looking boobs. I was thinking on going with gummy bear implants as they look the most natural.
Has anyone else had really poor development even after years on HRT?

2024.05.20 20:33 hey1777 Male nipple protrusion/projection reduction surgery. Any experiences?

Hey everyone,
Male in my early 30s. I had gynecomastia reduction surgery about 7-8 years ago. It totally transformed my chest AND my nipples. I finally felt like I had a masculine, flat chest. This has been especially true when I’m consistent with my diet and weight lifting. Totally transformed my self confidence and the clothes I can wear, my sex life, self esteem… all of that.
However, my nipples after surgery, absolutely prettier than before, and they look “normal”, the actual nipple - not the areola - projects out more than I’d like and is bigger than I’d like. Also, my right side is a little bit bigger than the left which is not really noticeable at first glance but I notice it.
Also, my right nipple basically gets rock hard with any slight touch or anything so it’s always hard where the right takes longer to get hard which makes them look more uneven.
While I don’t usually get comments on it, once or twice I have and it makes me more insecure than I already am about it.
Because of my nipples, even after surgery, I don’t feel comfortable wearing a white shirt (which, my men with gynecomastia know is the dream after surgery), I don’t feel comfortable wearing thin shirts of any color out in public, and even when I’m really muscular and built, I’m insecure wearing tight shirts to show off my muscles because my nipples always look hard and big (think Pamela Anderson or Jennifer Aniston). While yes my chest is “flat” meaning it doesn’t look like female breasts, (I do have pec muscle so it’s not like a flat wall) my nipples still make me feel like I look like I have a feminine leaning chest - or - it’s just embarrassing tbh to have such large nipples.
The areola isn’t visible in that it’s puffy, but the nipple is.
So this brings me to today, I’m increasingly insecure about it and frankly I’m tired of still avoiding lots of shirts and colors because of my nipples. I don’t want to wear any tight tank tops or compression garments because I freed myself from that with gynecomastia surgery.
I think I want to do this now and have surgery for my nipples. I’ve been researching and it seems to be minimally invasive, done under local anesthesia, finished in about an hour, about a week or two downtime for exercise, and minimal scarring.
I’m starting nursing school pre reqs next week and will have about a month and a half before my actual program starts after that, so I feel like that would be a great time to do it.
I made a consultation with a surgeon with the most before and after pics of this particular surgery that I found in my area in 3 weeks.
So this brings me to you guys, have any of you had this surgery? What was it like? Were your results worth it? Are you happy? Are you able to wear anything you want now? Are there any downsides?
Thanks everyone

2024.05.18 17:56 Muted-Ad-6586 I DID IT!!!

Hello all:) I am 19 yr old college student and a now former 44H (US size). I had long, full, and sagging heavy breast along with large areolas for as long as I can remember. I have wanted a breast reduction for a few years, which I mentioned to my primary physician every year during my yearly checkups size around 16 yrs old. She finally send the referral out last November after a few more reminders. I went to my consultation in January, got measured, and a few weeks later I got the call that my insurance would cover everything. During the consultation, my surgeon told me that I would need to get a free nipple graft because of the measurements. I was told I would have no feeling of my nipples and I would lose the ability to breastfeed in the future, but for me, the benefits outweighed the cons. I have hyperpigmentation under my breasts and on my underboob from where the skin rubbed together, deep dents in my shoulders, back pain, etc. My main reasons for getting the surgery were to be able to do more exercises as it is hard to run with large breasts, to help alleviate pain, to be able to wear button up blouses, to be able to wear bras from places other than Lane Bryant, and the list goes on.
I got my surgery date scheduled for May 17th (yesterday). My nurse woke me up after surgery and I was groggy because of the anesthesia. I looked down and I was able to see my stomach for the first time which was a shocker to me and an encouragement to lose weight. My doctor came in and the first thing I asked him was how much he removed and he said he sent it in to be weighed so he didn’t know yet but it was a lot. He said he was not worried about the weight but just wanted to make sure he produced great results. I could already tell that my breasts were much smaller and about the size of my hands which I was very pleased with. My guess is that I am a C or D cup now as I will not know for sure until 2-3 months out. I left wrapped in gauze and large ace bandages which gave me compression.
The biggest shock for me was that I was hardly in any pain in my breasts, it was just difficult to get around. Later, I got nauseous even with scopolamine patch and ended up vomiting when I went home. Today (1DPO) I am in very little pain, just some discomfort where I can feel the stitches. I will be able to see them for the first time tomorrow when I change my bandages, I have no drains in. I will also take a shallow bath tomorrow because I absolutely cannot get my nipples wet because of the grafts which are held in place by tape.
P.S. - I am willing to answer questions and any post-op/recovery advice would be greatly appreciated! I do not own any surgical bras yet as I was told I won’t need them until after I get my stitches removed and I’m not sure where to get them or what size to get. I’m also a black woman so I would like any advice on taking care of scars.

2024.05.18 13:46 Repulsive_Spite_4992 Banned bird, this is how your report should have been.

Banned bird......This is a report (Elphaba)
To whom this concerns,
On the evening's 30/4/24- 1/5/24, I was absolutely horrified and left in disgust at the behaviour of one of your creators on tiktok live. Elphaba Orion Doherty, who also uses other accounts to side step account bans, displayed extremely horrifying behaviour that should never be witnessed on the app.
Thousands of people, potentially even many more thousands after the initial incident, were subjected to dangerous suicide baiting behaviour and violent content by Elphaba Orion Doherty. She held a knife to her throat and threatened to kill herself to thousands upon thousands of viewers, whilst appearing to be very unstable after an incident the previous evening of claiming she had self harmed. On the day of the 1/5/24, she was even showing her viewers, who again were in the thousands her self harm "injuries" on her wrist and arm, saying that she would "show them" to her viewers so she could manipulate her audience for more gifts.
Elphaba Orion Doherty was allowed, despite thousands and thousands and thousands of reports for online safety due to the content of brandishing a knife to her own throat, threatening harm to herself and saying she "wants to die" These reports were all received with no violations and the live was allowed to continue for over twenty minutes.
Children under the age of sixteen years of age have self harmed as a result of this. Adults who experience mental health battles have harmed themselves as a result of this. Families and friends of those who have committed suicide have been affected by this.
This creator has a track record of inflammatory behaviour on the app, which again has been reported on numerous occasions because of the very real risk to children who do have access to the app. Not only just children and impressionable young people, but also the vupnerable adults and everhone else who is subjected to this behaviour. The content of this creator suicide baiting, threatening to kill themselves, actively abusing alcohol and narcotics whilst on live is completely unacceptable. If she isn't displaying the above-mentioned behaviour, then she is demanding gifts and money from her viewers, literally demanding.
Due to Elphaba being a trans creator and also young (20 years of age) She is very attractive to the younger generations, the target audience being children as a large percentage of her gifters and viewers are children. She already has an extremely negative influence on these children, with her regular intoxicated ramblings, narcotic induced tantrums, and now suicide baiting and self harming while on live, is a psychological and emotional minefield for children. Elphaba needs IP bans and enforced bans from making other accounts for the safety and well-being of so many people who use the app and platform for welcomed, creative purposes.
On a daily basis, Elphaba breaks the platforms own policies. Please see below. And I am using general terms in referring to youths 13+ who are legally allowed to have accounts and access to the platform.
TIKTOK POLICY BREACHES
•"Youth safety is our priority. We do not allow content that may put young people at risk of exploitation, or psychological, physical, or developmental harm. This includes child sexual abuse material (CSAM), youth abuse, bullying, dangerous activities and challenges, exposure to overtly mature themes, and consumption of alcohol, tobacco, drugs, or regulated substances. If we become aware of youth exploitation on our platform, we will ban the account, as well as any other accounts belonging to the person."
As we are aware that Elphaba Orion Doherty has regularly exploited 13+ youths to emotional and psychological harm by displaying the above mentioned behaviour of suicide baiting, self harm, narcotic and alcohol abuse on a regular basis. Elphaba regularly discusses sexual exhibitionism and sexual assault incidents that have allegedly happened to her, and she routinely sexualises comments and innuendos that are inappropriate entirely. Not to mention how Elphaba regularly manipulates her young viewers for gifts.
•"We are committed to bringing people together in a way that does not lead to physical conflict. We recognize that online content related to violence can cause real-world harm. We do not allow any violent threats, incitement to violence, or promotion of criminal activities that may harm people, animals, or property. If there is a specific, credible, and imminent threat to human life or serious physical injury, we report it to relevant law enforcement authorities."
The platform does have many qualities and content that is perfect for what is described, however Elphaba has threatened to physically harm other creators on a regular basis, has been active in criminal activities such as using narcotics, encouraging underage drinking of alcohol and encouraging dangerous behaviour.
• "TikTok is enriched by the various backgrounds of our community members. Our differences should be respected, rather than a cause for division. We do not allow any hateful behavior, hate speech, or promotion of hateful ideologies. This includes content that attacks a person or group because of protected attributes, including: Caste, Ethnicity, National Origin, Race, Religion, Tribe, immigration status, Gender, Gender Identity, sex, sexual orientation, disability, serious diseases."
Elphaba has repeatedly broken these guidelines which have been reported, again thousands of thousands of times in her lives. She has been transphobic, racist remarks, direct racism to other content creators, discriminatory towards other genders. She has also made sexualised remarks regarding other's sexual identity and violent sexual exhibitionism regarding others of the opposite sex.
• "TikTok is a place where people can come to discuss or learn about sexuality, sex or reproductive health. We are mindful that certain content may not be appropriate for young people, may be considered offensive by some, or may create the potential for exploitation. We do not allow sexual activity or services. This includes sex, sexual arousal, fetish and kink behavior, and seeking or offering sexual services. However, it does not include reproductive health and sex education content."
Elphaba does not host informative content such as sex education or reproductive health discussions. She regularly broadcasts that she wants to find a "man" and how he needs to have particular attributes. She often discusses what she would do to these men, quite graphically which again, is not appropriately for her target audience.
• "We celebrate all shapes and sizes and want people to feel comfortable in how they present themselves and their bodies. We understand societies approach body exposure and clothing differently, so we seek to reflect prevailing cultural norms about nudity. We do not allow nudity, including uncovered genitals and buttocks, as well as nipples and areolas of women and girls. Sheer and partially see-through clothing is not considered covered. We allow regional exceptions for showing nipples and areolas in limited situations, such as medical treatment, educational purposes, or as a part of culturally accepted practices. Not all young people have the developmental maturity to respond to unwanted physical attention and uninvited sexualization, which may lead to psychological or physical harm. We do not allow significant body exposure of young people. Content is age-restricted if it shows significant body exposure of an adult. Content is ineligible for the FYF if it shows moderate body exposure of a young person, or significant body exposure of an adult. We allow regional exceptions for body exposure in limited situations, such as common cultural practices."
Elphaba on more than one occasion has exposed their genitals, full genitals while dancing provocatively in a dress at a club and this video has circulated. She has also exposed herself on her own lives while wearing a different dress on a separate occasion. She has also exposed her chest and cleavage in provocative dresses, including adding make up to accentuate herself to be more visually appealing.
•" TikTok is a place where people can come to discuss or learn about sexuality, sex or reproductive health. We are mindful that certain content may not be appropriate for young people, may be considered offensive by some, or may create the potential for exploitation. We do not allow sexual activity or services. This includes sex, sexual arousal, fetish and kink behavior, and seeking or offering sexual services. However, it does not include reproductive health and sex education content."
Elphaba regularly discusses her sexual preferences and discusses her kinks and broadcasts her sexual desires whilst on live stream. She routinely discusses her slime fetish, venom fetish, vore, human bodily fluids and often discusses masturbation.
• "In a global community, it is natural for people to have different opinions, but we seek to operate on a shared set of facts and reality. We do not allow inaccurate, misleading, or false content that may cause significant harm to individuals or society, regardless of intent. Significant harm includes physical, psychological, or societal harm, and property damage. It does not extend to commercial and reputational harm, nor does it cover simply inaccurate information and myths. We rely on independent fact-checking partners and our database of previously fact-checked claims to help assess the accuracy of content. Content is ineligible for the FYF if it contains general conspiracy theories or unverified information related to emergencies. To be cautious, content that warrants fact-checking is also temporarily ineligible for the FYF while it is undergoing review. To help you manage your TikTok experience, we add warning labels to content related to unfolding or emergency events which have been assessed by our fact-checkers but cannot be verified as accurate, and we prompt people to reconsider sharing such content."
Elphaba regularly discusses dark conspiracies such as governmental conspiracy, wars and conflicts and repeatedly spreads misinformation medically, politically and in general day to day life and has consistently preached anti governmental propaganda.
• "Content shared online may be seen by anyone, and has a wide reach. We are committed to making sure that any personal information shared intentionally or accidentally on TikTok does not lead to harm. We do not allow content that includes personal information that may create a risk of stalking, violence, phishing, fraud, identity theft, or financial exploitation. This includes content that someone has posted themselves or that they consented to being shared by others."
Personal information has been broadcasted by Elphaba where she has, on numerous occasions attempted to "expose" other tiktok creator's who have spoken out against her behaviour. She has actively put out personal information in terms of photos, names, addresses and incited hatred from her own viewers and supporters on these people she believes is against her when these people simply want to make the app safer for everyone involved. Essentially, Elphaba has "doxxed" also known as, leaking private information in the belief to cause malicious harm. She has also financially exploited vulnerable viewers who have sent ridiculously large amounts of gifts in (monetary value) under the agreement or promise of personal interaction on a one to one basis, or to join the live, or her usual speech is "Send a big gift for a follow"
UK LAW BREACHES
• Threatening behaviour with an offensive weapon - This can be prosecuted under The Offensive Weapons Act 2019, Threatening with an offensive weapon etc in a private place – Section 52.
•Threatening behaviour to other creators - This can be prosecuted under the Malicious Communication Act 1988 and the Communications Act 2003. Online threats could take many forms including threats to kill, harm or to commit an offence against a person, group of people or organisation

2024.05.16 18:56 Historical_Agent2947 In search of big areolas

For a long time I've been on tinder or meeting girls just kinda hoping I'll match or meet up with a girl and she will surprise me with huge pancake areolas...well for half a year that hasn't happened maybe a couple times girls had some big ones. Well somehow just in the last 3 days this girl sexy as hell is sending me pictures and she sends me one of this Lacey shirt and u can kinda see through it and her areolas are hufe, just what I was hoping for. Large paleish brownish with nice circles that can't even fully be covered by hands. I thought I was lucky enough when earlier today I matched with a chubbier paler girl with boobs a little bit smaller. She also whipped out a pair of big areolas . Not as big as the first girl but when comparing the ratio p of the boob size they are very similar in size. This girl has more puffy and bumpy pinkish ones .. uggg and I gonna get even more lucky?

2024.05.09 07:26 Mapico3 Pagets + Inflammatory Breast Cancer -

Hello, 42/F. So anxious and worried. So my symptoms started with a very dry, peeling nipple, that was a little shiny on ONE breast. I’ve never had anything like it before. I tried a fungal cream and it seemed to help a little, however, the dryness would come back. I went to my Primary Doctor and she said it looked like nipple dermatitis but wasn’t 100% because all breast changes should be looked into. She didn’t feel any lumps or swollen lymph nodes at the time. So I put on coconut oil and rosehip oil and it seemed to help but never went away 100% unless constantly lathering. Fast forward and literally overnight, I noticed that the same breast has a large burning red rash covering most of my breast. It came out of no where. I also feel warmth and see an increase in veins on that breast. Like VERY prominent veins that stick out in that breast only, along with a puffier areola with thicker skin and an orangey color. What are the chances of having both pagets and IBC at the same time? Or are they linked together? I have an ultra-sound, MRI, mammogram, and dermatologist scheduled.

2024.05.06 22:22 Weary_Cow2178 I need help!

Okay so long story short my tits are gonna fall off. (Obviously I’m a bit dramatic) Where do I start so I have a spectra S1 and typical plastic flanges with inserts. Now pumping feels fine nothing hurts but I started to notice my areola and surrounding skin where the flange edge sits on my breast is breaking. I’m fairly large chested so I’m not sure if I need to find something more form fitting. I use nipple balms/creams, tried silverettes(but this really only apply to nipple damage). What can I do to heal my areola/skin. I feel like it’s on a constant battle to heal but then I have to pump again and it gets wet with milk again and then I pump nipple balm. I try to air them out when I have time but obviously with a baby doesn’t always work out. Has anyone else experienced this and what has helped? Really want to continue my journey but it’s such a mental battle.

2024.05.01 13:21 Eyeforus Breastfeeding in public with large breasts

I see all these women breastfeeding in public all discreet. But when I do it, I gotta find my nipple and guide it to baby and my chest/areola are so large that I feel like I'm just flashing people lol. I wear a standard nursing tank top where you pull down from the strap, leaving my whole boob out. I'll have a blanket just hanging over my shoulder so there's not as much skin showing. There's gotta be an easier way. Anyone else relate?

2024.04.30 17:27 cyber_fugitive I hate wearing binders

Edit: I’m gonna look into getting trans tape! Thank you to everyone who commented 💕 also just some extra info: I’m 5’4 130lbs 36C and the binders I got were free from an association located at a college campus about an hour from me that provides free stuff for trans people. I think they are called gc2b binders? And I got a half tank and a racerback. For anyone experiencing the same feelings as me it seems like the consensus is to do a full tank or use trans tape!
I just picked up some binders last week and when I first put it on I wanted to cry with how happy I was but when I got home and tried them on again I hated how I looked. I’m basically a femboy, I have a lot of tighter fitting “girl’s” clothes because that’s what I like and I’m really into fashion. I put one of my t-shirt over the binder and was super disappointed with how I looked. The bottom is all lumpy and it almost gives me body dysmorphia. I don’t follow a lot of trans guys online but I saw one and I saw them with pictures of themself shirtless and I wanted to cry. I really hoped the binders would help but I think the only thing that’s going to make me happy is top surgery. Does anyone else feel this way about their binder? It makes me feel fat basically 😭 and without anything covering my chest I almost want to throw up when I see my boobs. Right now I think I’m better off just wearing a sports bra or looking into getting some binding tape cuz I just feel like an overweight boy with huge “mantitties” when I see them. Especially because I have very large areolas. Oh and a question for those who’ve had top surgery: can they make your areolas smaller when doing it? Because if I get top surgery and they keep my areola size I think my whole chest will just be areolas and I would want to die 💀

2024.04.29 22:42 bagabutts I have flat nipples (i presume because im large chested) will this be an issue when i get surgery and will it be corrected/look more normal after?

If you pull them slightly they go normal but go back after a while
Theyre not always flat for some reason, half the time theyre slightly poking out and other times its completely flat
My areolas and nipples are large so when theyre flat it blends into the skin

2024.04.29 11:11 nonmisery5 Clogged ducts and pain for over two weeks, post mastitis treatment

Edit for anyone who finds this later: I had a large infected galactocele. It was drained and I was immediately back to normal and I’m on antibiotics now to try to kill the infection and prevent recurrence. The original antibiotics weren’t going to reach the infection since they couldn’t get into the abscess. Tldr- if you’re in excruciating pain, push for imaging. I knew something was wrong and I can’t imagine staying in that level of pain for weeks while taking a wait and see approach.
——-
I’m wondering if anyone has had an experience similar to mine (or any recommendations!) I have a six week old who early on had a bad latch, but it got better over time and I was able to nurse for about a month mostly pain free. A little over two weeks ago I had a clogged duct that didn’t get better with ibuprofen, ice, etc. It progressed to the point where the lower half my breast was hard as a rock and I was in constant pain and had redness. My OB gave me antibiotics out of concern for mastitis.
While the redness faded, the clogged ducts never got better. I’m done with antibiotics and the lower half of my breast is just as hard and painful as before. I can feel a large lump that seems to slightly subside upon feeding. I’m not noticing a decrease in output from this breast. Now, I’m also getting shooting / burning pains in between feedings in the whole breast, and I have localized burning pain on the areola opposite where I am engorged. I can’t see a milk bleb or obvious blister. My other breast is totally fine.
At this point, I can’t pump or nurse without extreme pain; this breast is also on my dominant side and so it’s really affecting my daily movement - even picking up the baby is painful. I have tried everything - consistent ibuprofen, ice after feeds (both help in the moment but not long term) and have tried some light massage, new positions, dangle pump / feeds, heat, hakaa/epsom salt, warm bath, etc.. my OB says it will just take time, to keep trying, and that I can do an ultrasound in a few weeks if it’s still bad. But honestly, I’m ready to stop breastfeeding at this point because I’m in such pain, I’m dreading every feed, and figuring this out is all consuming and I feel it’s impacting my ability to bond with the baby and give my toddler attention (but I also have no idea how to wean when I’m already so engorged).
I’m seeing a lactation consultant later this week and I’m going to call my OB again and express how bad this is, but I’m curious if anyone has had a similar issue and what they ultimately ended up doing or asking for. I’m desperate for relief! Thank you.

2024.04.26 20:14 Miss_Arkansassy Still struggling at 9w pp

I have always had a strong desire to breastfeed. From before I was even pregnant I was researching and learning different positions, latch techniques, pump options and settings, etc. but since my LO has been here… it’s been a struggle like I never expected.
Starting out she had a significant click while eating (even on a bottle and pacifier). I thought she just had a shallow latch but after finally seeing a lactation consultant at 4 weeks we had a tongue and lip tie correction and 5.5 weeks. Since then she has improved—sometimes. She still tends to do a shallow more often and only occasionally can I get a deep latch where she holds on for a while.
However, my biggest struggle is getting her to latch at all. She HATES it. Screaming, crying, thrashing around the moment I try to get her to feed. I basically have to trick her into taking the boob by giving her a pacifier for 5-10 seconds then taking it and trying to re-latch. Sometimes it works. Other times she just repeats the cycle.
I’m a 34G at this point up from a 34C pre-pregnancy. So I’m learning to manage my own new breasts too. I’ve been really frustrated because my once perky, cute boobs are now full of stretch marks, saggy, and pointing outward. Additionally I have a large areola (larger on the right than the left) and probably size 14mm nipples. I use size 15mm flange when I pump.
I do mainly cross cradle hold because my breasts and nipples are difficult for her to grab onto. Sometimes I can let go of the boob and transition to a cradle. But she usually slips off by this point and I have to start over again. I have to wipe it dry between latch attempts to make it easier for her. I can sometimes side lay but my nipple falls into the bed and she buries her head into the bed too. So I’m fighting against her neck and head strength to bring it up to my nipple. And then she gets mad. I haven’t been able to do a laid back position ever. I can do the football hold but it garners the same angry response.
My supply is solid. Pumping is easy. I can get 3oz off each breast in 10 minutes. So I know my supply is there. I don’t think I have an overactive letdown because I’ve never sprayed milk while she eats. Occasionally I’ll have some itching/burning letdown sensation on my right. But she doesn’t seem to notice.
I just need her to stop freaking out every time I try to nurse. 10-12 times a day. It makes me feel like she’s rejecting me. Plus my LC told me to nurse each feeding session half on one side half on the other. So multiply the screaming x2. I was only doing one side at a time while feeding but she suggested to do both. What are your thoughts on this too?
She takes one 4oz bottle every night at 9pm and she clicks while eating—but she doesn’t scream like she does on the boob. It honestly hurts to watch her take the bottle so easily.
But if she won’t nurse.. I’m not keen on being an exclusive pumper. It’s just not for me. It’s not the breastfeeding journey I set out for and not one I will do. If she continues to refuse.. it’s formula for us.
Please help me save my sanity and give me tips. Because I’m crying way too often.

2024.04.26 13:33 anesthesiabyfrankie The Ultimate Guide to Breast Implant Exchange Dr William Miami

If you're considering a breast implant exchange, you're not alone. Many women opt for this procedure for various reasons, whether it's to change the size of their implants, address issues like capsular contracture, or enhance their cleavage. Here's everything you need to know about breast implant exchange, from reasons to expectations.
1. Desired Size Change
Changing the size of your breast implants is a common reason for undergoing a breast implant exchange. Whether you want to go bigger or smaller, this procedure can help you achieve your desired breast appearance.
Your surgeon will help you choose the right implant volume to complement your frame and desired aesthetic.
2. Addressing Capsular Contracture
Capsular contracture occurs when scar tissue around the implant becomes thick and tight, leading to firmness and distortion. Symptoms include changes in breast shape or firmness. If left untreated, it can worsen over time.
An implant exchange, combined with a capsulorrhaphy, can effectively remove problematic scar tissue and restore a softer, more natural breast appearance.
3. Improving Cleavage
Some women opt for breast implant exchange to enhance their cleavage. Your surgeon can adjust the implant pocket to bring the implants closer together, creating a more defined, alluring cleavage line.
What to Expect During the Procedure
The breast implant exchange process typically involves the following steps:
Preparing for Your Procedure
Before your breast implant exchange, your surgeon will provide detailed pre-operative instructions, including guidance on medications, dietary restrictions, and necessary tests.
Be open with your surgeon about your goals, concerns, and medical history. This will help them develop a customized treatment plan.
Recovering and Enjoying Your Results
After the procedure, follow your surgeon's post-operative instructions carefully. You may experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, but these are usually manageable.
Most patients can return to normal activities within a week or two, although strenuous exercise may be restricted for a few weeks.
Once fully recovered, you'll enjoy your refreshed breast appearance, whether you've changed sizes, addressed capsular contracture, or improved your cleavage.
If you're considering a breast implant exchange, consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon experienced in this procedure. They can provide personalized guidance, address your concerns, and help you make informed decisions about your breast health and aesthetic goals.

2024.04.26 04:36 852cheerios does scars on boobs turn men off? i’m too anxious to date cus of that

I’m 29, and i’m asking cus I had breast reduction surgery 2 years ago and the scar is very obvious cus it covers a large area (it’s not a messy scar tho). And the scar made my areola a bit uneven which makes me feel worst.
I want to go on dates but everytime i think about the possibility of having sex I feel so anxious and I just ghost people before even going out with them, cus I feel like whoever I flirt or date with, if they see my scars they’re gonna get turned off. I keep getting many compliments about my face my body but the thought of having anyone see my scars just takes all my confidence away.
I’ve only had sex with one guy after my surgery so I don’t have much experience to make me feel confident that most men will be ok with my scars… really need some insights and advice here. Should I just straight up tell people I have surgery scars on my boobs before I have sex or even before we sext and they ask me to send pics? lol

2024.04.21 00:20 Historical_Agent2947 Areola Grande

I 33/m/USA have a confession, anytime I see a pair of tits I wonder how big her areolas are and if they are ghost nipples or real dark or if they are perfectly circular. Growing up my best friends mom use to breastfeedinh. Well she is where my areola fetish started because she has wonderful big tits for a milf and would ofteb have her tits out and walk to the kitchen to grab something. She also breast fed with both tits out for some reason. Her tits were probably size DD and were pale and plump and huge perfectly super dark areolas that looked as big as pancakes and took up easily more than half her tits. also when she woukd tan on the pool deck in he bikini and didn't even cover everythingy. Especially when she fell asleep tanning so much areola would be poking out that I'd be instantly hard. well recently after meeting this girl I started to flirt with this girl and we planned on hanging out the next night I did just assume her little b cup tits had just little nipples after all but we eventually got to hooking up and starting to grab my dick and I went to take off my pants she took off her shirt but was shy and hesitant to take off her bra when she said wait, I'm embarrassed about my tits they are different. I told her I'd probably love it so she slowly took off her shift and they were the puffiest nips I ever seen that took up the whole boob. They were just massive and puffy... I can't stop thinking about her and wondering if anyone here has been with a girl who has absurdly large areolas? If so I wanna hear

2024.04.17 02:27 Puzzled-Fly1449 Rapid onset unilateral gyno in 23 YO w/ normal T levels and zero medications

I have been reading through this community extensively trying to find answers but was largely unable as there are differing opinions on the matter.
I am a 23 yo with unilateral gyno that simply appeared as a lump under my right nipple and grew for about 2 months, painfully, to slightly larger than the size of my areola (probably in between grades 1 and 2). I had no history of gyno in puberty. The pain has largely subsided and it seems that it has stopped growing.
I got my testosterone tested and the results were perfectly normal. My doctor declared it idiopathic and told me to wait and hope it resolves before considering surgery.
My understanding from reading through posts is that this firm, rubbery, glandular tissue does not simply "go away" with surgical excision. My questions are as follows: has anyone in my age group experienced this rapid onset, idiopathic gyno? Did it resolve without surgery? Is it even possible for firm tissue like this to simply degenerate? Does the subsiding of the pain indicate that it may reduce or has stopped growing? I appreciate any and all replies; I am quite unsatisfied with the laissez faire result I attained by going to the doctor. Cheers.

2024.04.16 18:24 AGoodKnave Recovery Vent: I hate what this has taken from me

In so many ways, things have got a lot better. I'm made massive strides in terms of this disease, and for that I'm proud. I won't get into the details, I don't want to trigger anyone. But me 4 years ago and me now are stark contrasts.
Something that isn't discussed as often (IMO) is how, even when trying to engage with recovery, you've physically messed up your body for life. ED ruins your skin and hair long after you start eating more normally. Something I'm really struggling with now is that my breasts have lost almost all of their shape, size and elasticity. I'm not old by any means, but the damage has been done, and even with increased calories, they're not returning to a comfortable size. I sometimes feel ashamed when I disrobe, and uncomfortable. Everything else is better, but I've lost my femininity. It's not about small or large breasts (I used to be a DD before my ED, went to a large B which I was fine with), but how they're just sad sacks of areola and tissue.
EDs lie and tell you you'll look and feel better if you listen to them, but all I have are two reminders of what I've done to my body.
I am aware this may also be dysmorphia, but cup sizes and bra fittings don't lie. Just wanted to share this experience. It hurts.

2024.04.14 19:37 MyArtPop My Positive MA Experience - 5.5 Weeks

I've never wanted children. I love kids, especially my friends' kids. And my boyfriend is in the same boat as me with this.
(A note about my boyfriend - he was shocked and supportive and feels awful for putting me through this. He thought he was sterile, but it turns out he wasn’t. I always told him if I ever got pregnant, I would go to Planned Parenthood and get the abortion pills. Sub in Hey Jane for PP, but the results are the same. No agony, no regrets. There was a twinge of sadness because we probably would have had kids in another life, but our circumstances are not ideal for raising a family. We shed our tears well over a year ago about this, and we had a few more - not because of our choice but because of the reminder of what could have been in another setting. He’d be a great dad. But there is no grief involved in my decision.)
I’ve been keeping detailed notes on my phone throughout my journey. I got my pills by mail from Hey Jane and took both steps on Wednesday, April 10, 2024. It’s now Sunday, April 14, 2024, and I think I've turned a corner. This morning was rough, but this afternoon has been MUCH better.
I wanted to share what I’ve gone through so far (and will update until I get a negative pregnancy test) in case others are wondering if their experience is within the realm of normal. Everyone is different, but we’re all in this together.
My last cycle began March 3, 2024 and I had a positive pregnancy test on April 7, 2024.
Day 1 Took the first step at 7:04pm Second step right after Laid down. Started to feel chills just about 30 minutes after. Two hours in: still chills, no bleeding. I’ve been cramping all throughout the weeks, so the cramps I’m feeling aren’t anything to write home about. They’re like an average period cramp. Annoying but manageable. Took a shower around the 10pm. I inserted a finger and it came out with some blood on it. 10:30pm: I was getting ready for bed and thought I’d check to see how things were going. My bleeding began in earnest. It was not super dark - actually, lighter than my period is most days. I wore period underwear to bed and doubled up just in case. 1am: I woke up with some pretty intense cramps and went to the bathroom. I felt a sizable clot come out. Probably the size of a grape, very noticeable compared to my period clots, which are much more of a sticky blob than anything round. 2:30am: tossed around for a bit. Went to the bathroom and passed another clot as well as a steady but thin stream of blood. When I wiped, it looked like the heaviest day of my period. 4:15am I slept a bit because I woke up mid-dream. Cramping seems to have subsided. Went to the bathroom again, no clots this time. Just a steady stream of blood. I tried to poop but my body was like “we’ve pushed enough out of us for one night” The most pain I felt was when I was constipated. It was ROUGH. The cramps ranged from like a 3 to a 7. I’ve had waaay worse cramps during my period. I am one of those people who experiences what my college roommate and I called “period butt cramps” where out of nowhere a searing pain courses through your entire anal canal/large intestine and it’s all but impossible to move until it passes. My cramps, while intense, were never like that. My constipation had me on the bathroom floor. Day 2 9am cramps have subsided significantly 10am I saw a clot on my pad that looked a lot like what I’d have during my period. Bleeding is way less now 11:45am much lighter bleeding now. Some cramps here and there 3:30pm finally pooped! I’ve been gassy and crampy here and there. There’s a general uncomfortableness but all in all, better than expected. 5pm bleeding is lighter. Cramps are lighter. Fatigued from the night but in general feeling good. My breasts are still tender 9pm bleeding is very light. Still have some cramps but they’re also light. My boyfriend says I look much better and I’m acting like my usual energetic self. Day 3 I’m told I look much better and I feel a lot more like myself. 8am Minimal bleeding overnight. As light as a light day on my period if not lighter. Noticed a small chunk of tissue when I urinated. It was a light red 11am Some light cramping still and some lower back pain. That might be from sitting in folding chairs for a bit and driving a lot today 12:30 some more small clots/tissue are coming out 7pm mild cramps throughout the day and some small clots, maybe tissue. 10pm my bleeding strongly resembles my period now. Some small clots/tissues come out just about every time I urinate but the coloring and feel is very mid-period Day 4 9am overnight, very light bleeding 10am there’s still a fair amount of blood coming out of me and I think there’s a good deal of tissue too as when it hits the water it doesn’t immediately spread like blood on its own does. My breasts are still tender but less so. Cramps come and go but are not debilitating. 1:45pm I’m bleeding more today than I did yesterday. But it’s thin and bright and less and less clotting so I inserted an ultra tampon to see if I could get more comfortable. 3pm my tampon was full so I switched back to the pad 4:30pm a large clot came out. It made me wonder if there were twins. My aunt had twins so it wouldn’t have been out of the question. Curious, but not sad. There was definitely a lot more bleeding today than I had yesterday. I stayed home and watched movies. I usually walk to my local Starbucks (round trip is 30 minutes) but today I thought driving was the wiser move but that’s very telling of how I’m feeling. 6pm I can feel when the bleeding is coming and so I’m able to get to the toilet 8pm my boyfriend grills a steak for me because he knows I need the iron. My bleeding was steady but bright all day. My cramps were worse than they had been the previous days but I had no trouble falling or staying asleep. Day 5 9am Still bleeding quite a bit. It was moderate, but I’m still amazed at how much blood was coming out of me. Still crampy, but they feel like my period cramps. I also think a good poop would help. I’m glad that I didn’t have the diarrhea side effect, but I’m feeling backed up My overnight period underwear was the most full it had been. Cleaned up and put a pad in some proper underwear to go about my morning 10:30am I pooped! And feel better 11am my pad now would be considered light bleeding. My cramps, persistent though they are, are 3 or 4 out of 10.
1:15pm I went for a 3.5 mile walk and I feel SO much better. I think I've turned a corner. Cramps have subsided significantly as has my bleeding. I was out for 90 minutes and I got home to just a light amount of blood in my pad.
Day 6
9am my overnight underwear had much less bleeding than the previous night. And I finally was able to pass a hefty bowel movement which was much needed. Some mild cramps but nothing major. Still feeling like I’m in recovery (because I am) but a return to my usual day-to-day is definitely on the horizon.
4pm given the light bleeding, I’m trying a tampon again.
8pm another poop! I don’t know if my constipation was directly related to my MA but I have to imagine that it is
Day 7
First time I had zero bleeding overnight. I went through two super tampons throughout the day (9am to 9pm) and had no cramps. My breasts are still tender but my areolas look back to normal.
Unrelated to the abortion, I have a very large zit/blister in my outer labia due to I think excessive friction and a lack of air from wearing pads and overnight underwear. These aren’t uncommon for me as I seem to have overly sensitive skin and if I just look at something greasy I break out.
Day 8
No bleeding overnight again. I had a regular tampon in for most of the morning and then I switched to a super when I left for work in the afternoon and then went back to a regular one for the evening. My bleeding now looks like my period. There’s a lot more brown in the mix whereas up until Sunday it was various shades of red.
I took an at-home pregnancy test and it was still very positive. I might do a blood test next week. I have the high-end tests from Hey Jane but I can’t try one until three weeks from now and my anxious mind wants to know if I’m in the clear. I think I am.
Day 9
My overnight bleeding has all but stopped
9am to 1:15pm my regular tampon was full
Day 10
Overnight I barely bled. This morning I went through a regular tampon
3pm a small clot came out
Day 11
An ultra tampon was soaked overnight
Nothing much on my pad from 9am to 11am. Inserted another ultra tampon at 11am
1:30pm heavy cramping and a full tampon with a clot
Day 12
9am My ultra tampon was full this morning
3pm replaced another ultra tampon
I used another ultra tampon and put one in before going to bed
Day 13
Barely any blood at all this morning. The little bit that was absorbed was very brown and resembled what I call my period dregs.
Day 14
Very light bleeding
Day 15
Very light bleeding
Day 16
No bleeding! First day of no clots, just some spotting.
Day 17
No bleeding! Just some light spotting. My breast tenderness has greatly diminished. I took a pregnancy test (First Response) and while it’s still positive the line is barely perceptible. Unlike last week when it was VERY clear.
I have my annual physical in two weeks so I’ll have my doctor do a blood test then
Days 18 through 24
No symptoms at all. I took a few tests and the line kept getting fainter and fainter.
Day 25
I took a test in the evening and it was negative.
Day 26
I took two tests - First Response and CareOne - first thing in the morning and both were negative.

I'll ETA until I have a negative pregnancy test.
You're all doing great. <3

2024.04.13 02:44 Genesiseonn Kyleena Hair growth

I dunno if anyone else on the kyleena iud are having the same issue but I’ve been on kyleena for almost 5 years (i was 16 when i got it and getting out just before i turn 21) and I plan to get it removed within the next couple weeks. Has anyone else on kyleena experience lots of facial hair growth? I’ve always been naturally hairy but all within the past 2 years i’ve been growing hair on my chest, cheeks and neck really bad as well lots of hairs around my areolas? Its becoming a huge insecurity with me and I’m hoping once I take it out the hair growth will minimize because i’m also worried I may have PCOS. I’ve also lost my period for well over a year, my hair gets greasy super fast and dealing with acne. It’s just so frustrating dealing with all these possible side effects. I sorta regret going on it at such a young age. Ive also been trying to use spearmint oil to maybe help with the hair growth but I haven’t been noticing any large changes to my hair growth which leads me to believe it could be an IUD issue. I know this is a big word ramble but I’m also curious if anyone is having the same issues 😵‍💫😵‍💫
