Torcendo por você aqui do Brasil!! 🇧🇷 Imagino o quanto está sendo difícil e doloroso, mas não perca sua coragem, Vai dar tudo certo!

So glad you didnt have another stricture, and also very glad you've had your friend with you the whole time. Who knows Charlie, I can't travel because of pain. But maybe someday I can convince you to come see me in Greenville SC!

[@charlesasher]

I’ll definitely come by and see you if I’m ever in the area! My family is in the southern part of the state, unfortunately. But you never know!

[@AbbyClark910]

​​​@@charlesasherSure! I hope you can one day!😎💙

[@JANIQUEism]

its good that you are alive and well.. I'm getting my bottom surgery consultation in 2026

[@charlesasher]

Heck yes! Thats amazing! 🙌🏽

I've heard of balls migrating many times before... Not very uncommon unfortunately. Maybe the ball was too large for the sack, like when you're squeezing a (wet) stress ball and it slips out of your hand under the pressure? If they cant save this one or this issue happens again, then maybe you could start with a smaller implant and then increase size later on?...

[@charlesasher]

Yes, it happens to 25% of patients at first, so not an uncommon complication but an unfortunate/painful one. If it can’t be pushed in by hand, we will look at options for removal. The reason that side got the slightly larger implant was to make room for my pump bulb in October, but I’ll have to wait til Wednesday to see what the plan is.

[@Dr.BenjiBuddy]

@@charlesasher yeah I get that you need to have enough room in there for October, but if they have to remove this implant maybe a temporary smaller implant could still work? Any implant is better than no implant... And then see if it can be "upgraded" to a larger size 2 months from now? Although that would be a lot of surgeries in a short period 😬 Lets just hope they can move this one back and it wont do it again 😅🍀

[@charlesasher]

@@Dr.BenjiBuddy that’s too much for me to think about, lol. I haven’t even been able to talk to Dr. Santucci yet and I’ve got people who aren’t doctors making all kinds of suggestions, so I am just waiting til tomorrow to see what is actually up. 😂 Best case scenario the all goes back in, and we call it a day. Worst case scenario would be getting it surgically removed, but I also might see if we can just move the left one over to the right side, since that is the site that will have to accommodate the pump bulb. There are so many ways this could go, I am not stressing about it until I actually have my post-op.

So glad to had you have a caregiver to help you! I sure hope you can get things fixed up, you've had a rough journey. I want nothing but smooth sailing for you from here on out! (If only it was that easy huh?) Sending all the support you need from northern Minnesota, and happy early birthday if I don't remember I have IG account before then 🤔😁 (I'm 47 years old, I should still remember things like that right?? lol) As for the guinea pig part of things, I was the first top surgery that my plastic surgeon did in Duluth, he's done gynecomastia and such, but never from size 32 F to a nice flat DIwNG! I'm happy I was the start of what is hopefully a more local resource for more FTM where I'm from. (they don't list that they do surgeries like mine yet on their website, it's more word of mouth) Stay safe, cool, and hope your healing and resting!

[@charlesasher]

Thank you! Having a caregiver this whole time has made all of the difference in the world! That’s fun you were a Guinea pig for your doctor too!

[@rainbowtropolis]

@@charlesasher Somebody has to go first I figure, and I'm pretty much a roadmap anyways after everything I've had done over the years! I hope your night is going well 😊

I have the same thing
