Hi! I'm getting the Tiddy Chop on Thursday! (I'm both excited and nervous) and you may have answered this, but I was wondering if you had advice for washing yourself after its healing? Both like, body and hair. I was told to just sponge bathe til I can take the compression vest off, but I imagine it's still going to be a struggle. I have someone to help but I'd rather do it myself if possible.
Secondly, I KNOW I want this procedure, but I feel very weird about it. Feels like i should appreciate my tits before they go 😂 I think just because it's such a major, permanent change. I'm gonna like it but it'll definitely be weird for a while.
not sure if this was for this past thursday or the next but either way!!! good luck on the surgery!! As for staying clean,
1. keep your hair up and out of the way if it's long, whether by hairbands, headbands, or a bandana. Keep a supply of clean button downs to change out of to help feel fresh.
2. Another tip is to put gauze pads in your compression binder by your armpits. Not only will it prevent chaffing and discomfort there, but when you sweat, if won't get onto your compression binder and make it smell. I unfortunately did not do this and it took two washes to remove the smell of sweat from my binder.
3. Use baby towels to wipe yourself down if you still can't sponge bathe or when you're feeling kinda gross. If you're going to sponge bathe, soap up your arms and legs first. I recommend having someone help u wash your back if your going to, and I would only wet your stomach. If your hair is short, you can wash it in the sink. If your hair is long like mine, it can help to sit on your knees and lean your head forward in the shower and have someone wash your hair for you. This prevents getting water on your chest and still gets you clean. Don't be afraid to take as long as you need to shower. I got very lightheaded my first few showers from loss of strength and also from having my head tipped forward for so long, so stay hydrated and well rested.
4. Your first actual showers and the showers after may take longer than usual because of your lack of mobility and because you can't get the shower stream directly onto your chest (ur nips are fragile!). Use a loofah for your arms, legs, and carefully use it to wash your stomach. Trust me, after a week of not showering, it took me a couple washes to get all the grime off me, so scrub well.
5. You may develop lots of acne from generally being stinky, maybe even dry, and also because you may not be prioritizing skin care. If you can do skin care, I recommend it because it does make you feel better. Buy an acne body wash soap. Testosterone acne hits hard for some, but not showering and then having to wear the compression binder for a few weeks has caused body acne to flare up. Your skin will thank you.
As for feeling weird about top surgery, that's normal! I miss my boobs sometimes haha and I took lots of pics of my chest before and I sometimes look at em lol. Its a big change, but it is worth it and will make your life feel so much better! Change is scary, we just have to accept those anxieties. Post-op depression is also a thing, so be kind to yourself while you are healing <3
