Gender-affirming top surgery was associated with improved chest dysphoria, gender congruence and body image satisfaction in transmasculine and non-binary patients aged 12 to 24 years, according to a study published in JAMA Pediatrics.
The study was a collaboration between numerous departments at three Chicago-area institutions: Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago and the University of Illinois Chicago.
