| description | Purpose:
Top surgery, or masculinization of the chest, is often the first and sometimes only procedure in gender-affirming surgery for transgender- and gender-diverse persons assigned female at birth. In recent years, there has been improved access to care for transgender individuals and increased demand for top surgery. Our aim was to investigate the degree of satisfaction with the postoperative outcome after top surgery in transgender men.
Methods:
Ninety transgender men who underwent top surgery between September 1, 2013 and August 31, 2018 were included. Patients were surveyed from 5 to 62 months after surgery. Participants' files were evaluated for complications, and 84 (response rate 93.3%) participants answered a questionnaire evaluating patient satisfaction postoperatively.
Results:
Patients were either satisfied or partially satisfied with the overall experience of undergoing surgery and the postoperative result in 90.5% of responses. Patients were very satisfied with their clothed appearance in 89.3% of responses, whereas only 44.1% were very satisfied with their nonclothed appearance and 46.4% partially satisfied. Patients were also very satisfied with postoperative scars in 47.6% of responses and nipple reconstruction in 48.8%. Only two patients expressed their regret.
Conclusion:
Satisfaction outcomes after top surgery are generally positive, especially in respect of clothed appearance, self-confidence, and self-acceptance. |
