  • oblivious mtf here * is that a real thing? I mean, I guess that makes sense, but holy shit! There's so much new shit in this new world than I ever thought about!

Edit: definitely mtf, not mfr

Yep, lifting your arms can stretch the scars out and/or distort the nipple (if you've had nipple grafts) due to the skin being pulled at as it heals, that's how my surgeon explained it to me anyway. The amount of time to not lift your arms depends on the type of surgery I think? For me (double incision) it was 6 weeks of T-rex arms.

Six WEEKS??? I would have to strap my arms down in case I forgot lol

[-] AlligatorBlizzard@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 years ago

That's not necessary because it fucking hurts when you do forget, lol.

And then using scar cream and sunscreen religiously to avoid UV exposure and to sensitive scare tissue.

Hi friend!

I really hope you meant MtF and not mrf (cause it's ableist af), but yeah, raising the arms can put strain on the chest muscles and the incision sites, which can slow down the healing process and increase the risk of complications according to Dr. Patrick Briggs (Mar 22nd 2023)

[-] Blahaj_Blast 5 points 2 years ago

Yes! Honestly, not sure I've heard mfr before, but my initial guess is that it sounds the same as mf.

[-] PeachyMcPeachface 5 points 2 years ago

Naw it's mentally r-slur female. I figured mtf was the intended usage after checking your most recent posts. Thanks for confirming!

There are people not only using this phrase, but enough that they need an abbreviation for it? WTF

[-] PeachyMcPeachface 4 points 2 years ago

It's from a "joke" from arrested development, according to Urbandictionary
