Anonymous asked:
Does Top surgery affect hormone levels, I mean I know that getting rid of them means your body can’t breastfeed but what are the other affects of top surgery

There are no other effects as far as I know, besides possible complications with scars and such.
I’ve heard that it can affect your hormones actually!
I don’t know a lot about it, but it made sense to me.
Besides that, top surgery can make you have numbness all over your chest area for a while, since they cut around the nerves in your chest, and it can take up to a year for the nerves to regrow. Your chest can feel especially foreign to you for the first few weeks. It’s not just the scarring.
Not hormones related but I just wanted to mention it, because it’s also a side effect besides just scars.
I haven’t gone through the surgery myself, but I know about this from other posts trans masc people made to educate others.
I hope I could help!
