Some granulation tissue is a normal part of wound healing. Sometimes, however, it gets out of control and does not go away. It is then called "exuberant granular tissue" or "proud flesh". Silver nitrate is a common treatment. With treatment it usually does go away with no complications. I had the problem 60 years ago following abdominal surgery. The proud flesh developed on the external surface of the area where the incision had been sutured. There are also some other treatments, including cortisone cream. Just be sure to have the treatment suggested by Dr. Brassard and go in for periodic reassessment as he directs. Be patient and keep your spirits up--this too shall pass! You are a lovely young women with a bright and interesting mind. YouTube needs people like you.

I completely feel you Maya. I got my GRS a little over two months ago, and I'm so grateful to be able to see my doctor that has been with me since the beginning of my transition. It can be so scary, especially when you have to go through the whole process of telling a new doctor you're trans, which can be a tiring and lengthy process. I hope all is well <3

I’ve been watching all of your videos for the most part. My girlfriend is a trans woman and I love getting insight on how you’ve felt after surgery because I know I won’t fully understand, but I want to try my best to be a good partner after she gets her surgery done. Thank you for being brave and honest with us. You’re a truly wonderful person. 💜

Maya, I’ve been watching your channel for a few years now, and always enjoy your content. I want you to know that when you had that moment of crying on camera, that’s the most real I’ve seen you be, and it was wonderful to see you drop the walls. I had my surgery 3 years ago, and have also struggled with depression. You aren’t alone - not at all. I’m glad to see you producing videos again, and I also hope you will make sure that you’re taking care of yourself first. I hope your struggles get easier. You’re a good person.

Youre always such a strong pillar of inspiration. To hear you get raw like this was …WOW. Really helpful to see we all have these types of times. I wish you continued brighter days ahead. How brave & kind of you to share!

This particular topic is tough for a lot of us, both pre and post op. I am glad you opened up and spoke on the realities both good and bad. I think the truth (in whatever form) needs to be out there. With that, thank you for your cantor and willingness to be open regarding your struggles

Thank you for sharing your feelings and what you're going through with us, Maya. I've been watching your channel for a few years now but I don't usually comment. I think there's nothing wrong with being vulnerable in front of your audience. We all go through difficult times and hopefully by sharing it we can feel less alone. I'm glad you're doing better now and taking the steps to recover completely from surgery. I can totally relate to putting off something important like that and how heavy it feels, like the problem is a weight you carry while you procrastinate but it still feels so hard to get it done! I've done that with looking for health treatment as well. Sending you all the love! Also, your puppy is the sweetest baby omg!!!!!

You are an awesome young lady Maya, Hang in there and reach out to people that care when you're feeling down.🕉️☮️

We are one month apart from having our surgeries and I’ve been watching you since day 1 and seeing you heal while I was healing has helped me so much. I didn’t and don’t feel so alone thanks to your update videos and your transparency. I’m healing at the same pace as you due to granulated tissue and I just hit my 1year post op this month. We got this. Thank you for everything Maya and just being you. Stay optimistic. Keep your head up. :]

Thank you for sharing. My recovery was a lit tougher than I expected as well. It is really helpful to hear other folks talk about this. I’m 2 years out and am finally getting to a more normal place. You got this. Sending you healing vibes 🙏🏽🧡❤️💛

Thanks for the update. Also for taking us on your journey. Has been great watching you come into your own. Gives me hope! Sorry that surgery didn't go so well. You sharing definitely an eye opener!

Big hugs, Maya. You are a bright and shining light :) Thanks for showing us your authentic self.

Be strong Maya!! We’re all rooting for you!! 💖💖💐

Thank you for being so honest! I'll have my surgery in March and I collect as much experience as I can, so your video means so much to me <3 Your struggles besides sound so familiar to me and I'm happy that you're able to feel better again and making plans even for the regular stuff of daily routine is so important. You're a strong woman and you will finally will solve the problems that bother you now <3 Keep up!

Thank you so much for sharing. I remember watching your 1 month post op video while I was planning my surgery, and I loved how articulate and informative you were. I am currently three months post op and am following along to your videos as I coordinate my own healing and recovery. I'm currently experiencing minor complications also, but I see you as a beacon of light, assuring me as well as others, these storms shall too pass. Thank you, Maya!

Thank you Mayah 😊, I really appreciate the honesty and openness, sharing of our vulnerabilities is definitely a boon to healing.

So, I'm about 6 months post op and i'm going back through some these videos and so much of what your speaking about really hits home. Thank you!

Maya girl, thank you so much for your posts. I had my GRS a few weeks ago, and i followed your pre op and peri op advices. It helped me a lot, and now that you are sharing the most vulnarable part of this process, I salute you for that. I can relate in a lot of things that you are experiencing, I hope everything gets better after this. Bless you beautiful

Thank you for posting the update Maya. I wish I could give you a big hug. I too deal with depression and anxiety too. As I often say it is okay to not be okay. You will make it through with the help of your wonderful friends and little the cute little puppy. Mental health is something not talked about enough. Take care. You rock Maya!
