Yellow chunks. Fibrin, necrosis, slough?
It’s fine just part of the healing process. I think you look fine
I had that too! I had some internal stitches come loose and the fibrin liked to cling to them. I removed what I could by gently pulling on it and cutting the stitch. It wasn't pleasant, but I don't think it's something to worry about 💖
The surgeon did mention that it was where the two grafts meet (it’s the most painful part when dilating and I told him that), so that makes sense.
I’m starting to get yellowish discharge so I think it’s starting to come off. Everything else is so perfect with the healing so my anxious brain was like “that’s it, that’s the part where it all falls apart”, but I’m so thankful to be reminded that it’s normal and not a problem
yellow stuff like that is usually slough. if so, you can touch it very gently with a dry q-tip and it'll come off with the q-tip. no need to do that, but that might reassure you what it is.
It’s not quite coming off, but the cotton on the q tip turned yellow so I’m presuming you’re right that it’ll eventually come off
God, what a gorgeous result. The only thing I have reservations about with sutin is that even his sigmoid results only get 6 inches of depth, whereas several theerapong patients report 7-9.
I had regular PIV with scrotal graft and have almost 7 inches
Almost 7. So 6 lol. And swelling will go down to a solid 6.
No, it’s 6 3/4. If it was 6, I’d say 6.
Also IIRC 8 inches is pretty much the deepest you can go anatomically because then you begin to run into problems with other internal organs in the way (plus most dilators are 9 inches long)
Looks like fibrin. It'll come out on its own
