Do you feel itchy after injecting your T shot? Here are a few remedies to try out! T shots act very much like a bug bite. The body releases a histamine response in order to heal the ‘hole’ that got poked into the skin by the needle during injection. Benadryl makes an effective bug bite stick and also a Benadryl cream that work well and are inexpensive. You can find these products in my biography under HRT supplies if you’d like. The other consideration is that you could be allergic to the testosterone carrier. The most common carrier is cypionate- which is an oil that helps the testosterone stay in the body. If you are allergic to this, you can ask your Doctor to switch you to enanthate carrier. I hope this helps! #🦋 #Testosterone #HRT #FTM #FAQ #DoctorsOfTikTok #ForYou #fyp #ForYourPage #Syringe #Shot #Itchiness #Transgender #Testosterone #injections
For the first 6 days after Top Surgery, your post-op binder will be an important friend on your healing team! The post-operative binder is a crucial part of your recovery as it provides essential support and compression to your surgical site, promotes healing and reduces swelling! Wearing the binder for 6 days following surgery also helps maintain the desired shape and contour to your new chest, ensuring optimal results. Don’t worry! The binder doesn’t hurt. It’s more like comfortably snug. Each surgeon has their own protocol for post-op binders, so remember to follow your surgeon's guidelines for wearing and caring for the binder. Think of your binder as your supportive companion on the road to recovery, providing the stability and safety you need to heal confidently. #🦋 #TopSurgery #PostopBinder #Binder #FTM #NonBinary #demo #Chest #DoctorsOfTikTok #postoprecovery #TransMasculine #Safety #Healing #ReduceSwelling #FYP #ForYourPage

Here’s are top 4 things I’d ask during your Top Surgery consultation: How many of those type of procedure do you perform a week? How many of these surgeries have you performed? I have brought a picture with me showing the type of results I am seeking- do you think you can do this for me? What are the risks and complications from the surgery? And, upon reflection, did you come away with good feelings about your surgeon? Do you believe you shared good communication and did you feel heard? Was there an understanding of what your specific goals are for your top surgery? (Flat, non-flat, incision, shape, nipples, no nipples, side rolls, potential for dog ears, and your unique anatomy & health history etc.) Were all your concerns addressed? Do you believe your surgeon has the experience and competency to deliver the results you are seeking? Remember, your consultation is all about you! Ask any question that you believe is relevant. Surgery is a partnership! #🦋 #TopSurgery #GenderAffirmingSurgery #TransCare #FTMTopSurgery #SurgicalRecovery #TransMan #DoctorsOfTikTok #FAQ #fyp #ForYourPage #FTM #DI #surgeryConsultation #Chest
T can have significant effects on fat distribution, often leading to a more masculine appearance over time. While it can’t shrink the hip bones, it can contribute to overall fat loss and muscle gain, which may result in a more streamlined & masculine physique. 🦋 The effects of testosterone take time to manifest fully, with maximum changes typically occurring within two years of starting hormone therapy. If you're not seeing the desired results, liposculpture can be an excellent option to sculpt and redefine your body contours. This procedure can target specific areas, including the hips, to achieve a more masculine silhouette. 🦋 It's worth noting that some insurance plans cover masculinization procedures like liposculpture when deemed medically necessary. Stay optimistic, stay committed to your journey, and know that you have options to help you achieve the look that fits your goals. #🦋 #FTM #Hips #BodyMasculinization #GenderFirmingSurgery #InsuranceCoverage #Testosterone #T #HormoneReplacement #DoctorsOfTikTok #FYP #ForYourPage#TransMasculine
