Nipples below pecs? Could this be because of the binder? (5 weeks post-op)

Nipples below pecs? Could this be because of the binder? (5 weeks post-op)

I got double incision almost 5 weeks ago and I wondering if my nipples are below my pecs. Or could it be that my lower pecs deflated because of the compression binder, while my upper pecs are the only muscles that are moving a bit? You can see where my binder ends because of the redness of my skin, it looks like a dent on my right side.

Spalkje na een maand alweer los

Ik heb een maand geleden een volledig nieuw tandspalkje laten zetten, omdat mijn oude spalkje gebroken was. Dit heeft me ongeveer 400 euro gekost, echt absurd.

Nu is gisteren een van de lijmbolletjes afgebroken. Ik net gebeld, de kosten zouden voor mij zijn. Het gaat om een kleiner bedrag, ongeveer 35 euro, maar ik vindt toch dat een spalkje langer mee mag gaan dan een maand.

Wat kan ik hiermee doen?

Doc said it will be okay, but I’m skeptical🥲

The doctor said it probably will be fine but Im almost sure I lost the nipple bud and probably half my nipple. There isn’t a “hole” or something luckily but when she scab/piece of skin came off a few days ago it was WHITE. When I let it dry (I do wet-healing) it turns pink/yellow-ish and since the scab came off it doesn’t smell anymore. It only smelled when it was wet before.

I also feel like I’m healing slow. I am 20, normally sport a lot, eating healthy and have a healthy weight and all. I also don’t smoke and barely drink.

What do you guys think? Could it turn out alright?

Im worried about the dark/black edges. The yellowish bit is just a scab I think, but Im wet-healing. It gets darker when I air out a bit

I absolutely love my results! I still have a few questions, just my curiosity

  1. Will the folds/creases on the incisions flatten out over time? Is this just the stitches holding everything tight?

  2. I don’t see many people with scars in a shape like this (rounder but down), will this straighten up a bit or probably stay like this? It’s not too bad tho

  3. My nipples haven’t scabbed yet, is this still gonna happen or probably not (I do wet healing)
