Hey, so I NEED top surgery. Seeing other's scars, say, a month after, kind of make me nervous because I don't want mine to be so obvious. I know they will fade over time and with proper treatment and all that, but still. Dysphoria is bad enough that I know I'll get surgery and hopefully soon and I know the scars will fade, I'm just nervous I won't be as happy as other people are when they see their results. My T agrees I need surgery. I know it intellectually that it will help a ton, but emotionally I'm scared. Tips to get over the fear or can anyone relate? I asked on another platform and someone said that if the scars would bother me that much, maybe I shouldn't get surgery. Thing is, I'll get over it and it'll be worth it, just right now getting the bright red scars make me nervous. I just need to get over that fear. That's really the only thing holding me back. I feel like I'm the only one who experiences this which doesn't help either.
