Although I am not trans myself, I know some people transitioning do get top surgery and I wanted to know what your experience was like in terms of recovery and stuff if anyone would like to share. I’m getting my breasts for health issues but same surgery

From my friends who have been through it (I’m transitioning in ‘reverse’ so don’t have personal experience with that) have said it wasn’t terrible at all. Drains and binding were a bit uncomfortable, and there is definitely a big restriction in movement for a while, but then they’re *fantastic* after!

Yeah yeah! Sorry I don’t have personal experience to take from, but I’ve only ever heard them comment about the drains, binding, and the restriction of movement. Seems it’s not had many other complications! (Not a given for everyone, but… hopefully you’re not stressed or anxious about it! ❤️)
