The most common gender affirming surgery is breast augmentation -- in cis (non-trans) women.
The regret rate is around 20%.
Gender affirming surgeries in trans people have around a 1% regret rate.
Guess which people need approval from a mental health provider...
@joelle Interesting bit of info for all to ponder. In late 1990's - 00's I was one of only 37 people in my graduating class of women that did not get breast enlargement surgery.
263 of my fellow clasmates did get larger breasts due to social pressures. When we all met up for a reunion in 2016 we put our numbers down.
263 surgeries from 94 - 08
117 that were reduced/removed by 2015
158 showed rejection
9 have died of cancer
3 dead due to BBL
Class of 96
Cis women are at far greater risk.
@joelle This list does not include, face lifts, noses, lip injections, tummy tucks and other abuses women feel forced to make.
Sadly 90% of these women were astonished that even with crows feet and laugh lines those without any surgery were the ones who seemed to have aged/changed the least.
If we are going to allow moms to gift their kids rhinoplasty at age 16... who are you to say only trans kids have to wait?!
Not my body, not my decision, not my life, not my business.
