howdy y'all! i got top surgery on june 8th, 2026, a week ago at the time of writing, and i've been documenting the recovery process here since then! all of the posts are tagged with #recovery logs, and if you go to my blog page and click them in the search bar you can read them in reverse chronological order.
i'm doing this as a broad reference for people who may want to get top surgery and anyone interested in the recovery process for various reasons, including people who need a reference for writing, cis people with trans friends or family, or anyone else who's curious about it. everyone is welcome to share or reblog as they like
please remember that like any major surgery, recovery from top surgery is different for everyone who gets it, and the details of mine will differ from others based their health, social and financial situation, the laws in their area, and the clinic that they go to. i am not a doctor and this should not be used as medical advice. if you have any questions about specifics, i'll try to point you towards a good resource on it, but idk much abt the medical side of things so you should always try to look it up yourself first
if you are seeking top surgery yourself or have questions about it, this guide by FOLX Health is a good introduction to the different subtypes of top surgery and gives a brief overview of the cost + other requirements to get it. it also links to more resources
