What If You Don't Like Your Results? | 5 Years Post-Top Surgery Q&A

Pain. Healing. Dysphoria. Post-op depression. Answering your top surgery questions and sharing my reflections five years after my own double incision procedure. It's interesting looking back five years on. I think I would've answered some of these pretty differently four or five years ago. Use the chapters or jumplinks below to skip around and check out my other top surgery videos for more background and additional info:    • 5 Months on T + Top Surgery Plans

👋 I'm Jackson Bird and I make (hopefully) funny, (sometimes) educational videos for LGBTQ+ nerds like me – and the people in our lives that want to understand us better.

Here on JACKISNOTABIRD, you can find new videos once a month sharing my experiences as a bisexual trans guy, answering questions about LGBTQ+ issues, and sometimes showing what happens when you put weird stuff on a waffle iron.

Beyond this channel, I'm a public speaker, podcaster, writer, and pub quiz host. You can learn more about my work at http://jacksonbird.cool

If you want to hire me to speak at your school, event, or business, you can email my speaking bureau at [email protected]

Please send other business inquiries to [email protected]
