There’s a technique called graston that can help reduce the appearance of scars, soften them and break up scar tissue so they’re not so “bound” to you body. It’s uncomfortable AF but works on scars (and super tight muscles too). I can’t give examples of it specifically for top surgery but it’s definitely something to look into or ask your doctor (but I wouldn’t think about it until a year after surgery).

Hello! This is my son's account and i was checking all his comments and stuff, seeing if he was following good people and everything, and i saw that he was following you and i instantly remembered your face! My boy has been obsessed with your videis for quite some time and it really helps him with his autism, When he's having a breakdown, panic attack, or anxiety attack, he always puts on his headphones, hides under his blankets and watches your videos. He's been struggling a lot, with his anxiety, autism and depresson, and on top of that he came out as trans ftm a mouth a go, and when he was telling me that he was a boy not a girl, he was listening to your music, his grandma said he was watching your videos on repeat all night until he got the courage to tell me.

I'm like a total noob when it comes to this but when you do the surgery do they like cut the nipple too? If yes is the scar treatment the same? if the next video will cover it then you can just ignore this. Stay hydrated~

Scar tape is my favourite too! Here’s some input from me on them - i use the mepitac brand like cole does, which comes in a thinner size so you don’t have to cut it down the middle, which i find convenient. similar to ash, I find it’s a lot more affordable to order online, especially since you can use one application for ~a week and you can cut the strips to size. also, a tip on taking them off - do it in the shower! if you take off a small corner of the strip, then the water can run underneath and it helps soften the stickiness for me.

I got a bit teary during this video. Thank you so much for making it, I don’t think I’ve ever heard people talk about imperfections and corrections and dysphoria related to surgery results and this really helps normalize it and spread awesome information. I think we are all probably a little scared to talk about this sort of thing because of the people that are waiting around the corner to use any dissatisfaction with our results to invalidate us and our identities, but the truth is that everyones bodies are so diverse and unique that it is only natural that things may not end up healing like the perfect thin scars and round nipples that we all dreamed of. I know that while I love my chest and how it feels and how unique it is to me, I’ve been dissatisfied with the size of my areola, and bothered by the fact that they are kind of lopsided and not as round as Iike, and hearing all these stories makes me feel a lot more confident about wanting to get medical tattoos in the future. In general, I love the aura of positivity this video has and how it celebrates the diversity in all of us. Really made me feel a lot of self love and optimism, I think I needed it 💚🌿 Hope all the other folks out there feel a little happier after this video as well!

I had really bad keloid scaring after my top surgery. It made my scars really thick, hard, and sometimes painful. My chest was constantly itchy, even after 5 months! My dermatologist recommended steroid injections and I ended up doing 3 rounds of them. My scars are lighter in color, no longer hard, and my chest stopped itching almost immediately after the first round of injections. Definitely don't be afraid to talk with your surgeon, dermatologist, or primary care doctor about options. I didn't even know my scars were bad until my primary said that was why my chest was so itchy.

In physical therapy we (as I’m a physical therapist) always massage the scars, we actually do it in about 2 weeks after. You could have go to a physical therapist for help in the massage and what cream you want to be around when you are healing. You can put oil in the way you pull so the oil will help with the pulling of the silicone. I love you ash and grace you are the best.

I have a solution for your itch problem 😊 Basically, the parts of your body that are itchy have the largest blood flow, and blood flows to the area that pressure is on. So, if you itch or apply pressure to anither area, the blood will flow over there and your chest and scars will no longer itch. Hopefully this helps 👌

I’m really glad you put POC trans folks in this video! Bc what I’ve realized as an Asian trans male who had top surgery recently (2 mos age), healing is different between me + my White transmasc friends. I’ve had 2 White transmasc friends who’ve gotten top surgery (by the same surgeon, Dr. Mosser). He’s a really good surgeon + has amazing results, but also, just generally what I’ve seen, White transmasc folks tend to heal better or lighter post-op + Asian transmasc folks tend to have darker scars. White trans folks post-op typically have pink nipples + Asian trans folks post-op typically have brown nipples- Regardless of if their nips were pink pre-op or not. The actual centers of my nips pre-op were pink, but the areolas were a light brown + currently, my nips are just brown post-op.

Wow. I just had to say how moving this is. Seeing all of these beautiful people, who look just how they want to. It’s incredible. Thank you to all the doctors, regular people, friends, who make this possible.

Thank you for making me genuinely excited for top surgery! I scheduled my consult after 7 years of waiting, and I was really freaking scared. Thank you for being so knowledgeable and helping put pretty much all of my fears to rest.

Hello Ash, I'm an agender person that has been dabbling with the idea of top surgery for the past few months (totally not planning on doing it anytime soon) and I was wondering if you could do a video on either yours or Graces experience being a care taker? I think being able to show something like that to my partner and family would make them a lot less unsure about the whole process.

Thanks so much for you video! Cis male here but I had gynecomastia and excess skin removed in my chest after a big weight loss. Essentially top surgery! You helped me out so much! So excited to get this ace bandage off and see my new chest

As a watcher of your videos for about several months, I'm very happy to say I'm comfortable getting surgery. I've talked with my partner about it, and he is encouraging me in many ways via the internet, since he won't be home for two more months. Your videos have boosted my confidence and understanding of the highs and lows of transitioning, surgery, and post-op things. I really hope you continue to heal well and that you and Grace have a good time together making more videos and just being a prime pair of two beautiful people. - Lawrence

Omgosh...I can totally relate when you talked about itchy scars and nerve damage making you feel the itch under your skin. I had my leg amputated 3 years ago after an accident...and besides the phantom sensations...the “itch I can’t itch” continues to be an annoying byproduct of my surgery! Very informative video!
