should i keep my nipples during top surgery? i don't want to deal with the healing process and the only reason i am attached to them even a little is because of the sensation that is not even guaranteed to come back. also scared of pigment not coming.

Keep them!!! Once it’s healed, it’s very unlikely you will regret keeping them, but getting rid of them is a cosmetic choice you might regret later

Do the pros and cons, I had a reduction where my nipples had to come off and be reattached and my sensation came back along with pigment and such, I can no longer feel them when they get hard but I don’t care.

hmm i think i'd also be so so bothered if my nipples healed in a way i didn't like though. if they were uneven, different shapes, sizes, if they ended up healing completely flat instead of with the actual nipple part that sticks out a bit. and i'd have to live with not having the nipples i wanted when i could've chopped them off and known exactly how i was gonna look.

yeah like unless i was essentially guaranteed fast, easy, consistent healing, id be so stressed about it. i would only be happy if they looked cis, otherwise id be better off having a blank canvas as a chest or even tattooing nipples on or something

same, and stress isn't compatible with fast healing! the fact that nipple tattoos are always an option is so so comforting lol
