Trans top surgery traditions?

Hiya. My best friend is going to have top surgery soon and I'll be looking after him at my house during his recovery. Are there any traditions/ things people do when people get top surgery? I was thinking of getting him a card and present and arranging a little "comforts" box of snacks and toiletries for when he's here but are there any traditions that you know of that I could honour?

Utterly depressing and actually bloody insulting too. Try having breast cancer and having to lose body parts to save your life.

Oh and I think the term you mean is mastectomy.

When I had a double mastectomy for breast cancer, I took all the meds, kept my fluid intake up and used a mastectomy pillow. HTH.

Absolutely not comparable, you didn't choose that.
I'm so sorry you went through that. 💐

Anybody who celebrates self mutilation needs their head checking.

Don't celebrate it. Obviously don't tell your friend you don't condone her mutilating her body like this because you'll push her away, but I wouldn't go "oh congratulations" and shower her with cards/presents etc.

Just a simple "good for you" will do.
