Hi there. My name’s Oak, and I had double incision top surgery last week on October 8th. I’m five days post-op at the time of writing this article. I want to get all of my surgery tips to you while they’re fresh in my mind. Here is a compilation of advice from me and from my mom (my caretaker).
Please keep in mind that my experience with top surgery may differ from yours, but most of these tips should be fairly universal. I’m 19, able-bodied, and thin. I had double incision because it was the right choice in terms of the results I was looking for, but I qualified for peri. I was a B cup before surgery. As the saying goes, your mileage may vary.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask me in the comments.

- Watch an animated video of the procedure you’ll be receiving. If you aren’t squeamish…
