Dear pre-op me,

Thank you for being brave even though you were scared. It was tough for a little while, but not as scary as we thought it'd be. And it's been so so so worth it.

I'm so glad ❤

I'm uploading this diary to my website about two-years post-op now, so here are some pictures of what my chest looks like after two years of healing :)

You might notice that my posture is still not great, but it's a lot better than it used to be, I promise.

A side-on photo of the author, whose chest is indeed flat.A front-on photo of the author, where his chest can be seen in full.  Scarring is visible around the nipples if you look closely.

To be honest, I actually feel pretty self-conscious going shirtless because I still feel some lingering dysphoria around my chest.

But a lot the things I could complain about are ultimately tradeoffs for having a less invasive procedure, so. I'm pretty happy with my results, all things considered :)
