I’m now in a place where I’m really happy with how my breast surgery turned out… but there was a time, especially early on, where I didn’t feel as good about my decision to have surgery. Healing wasn’t totally as I expected and it took a while before I saw the final results of my surgery. I’m so happy with my breasts now, but I wish I had known what the road could look like before walking down it.
—K, on the importance of understanding surgery and possible outcomes
Having breasts that are a part of my body is such an affirming feeling for me. I don’t have to “take off” my breasts at the end of the day when I take off my bra. They are just there all the time, and that’s been such a deep and special feeling that’s come with this surgery for me.
