The quality of life of young transmasculine people dramatically improves after receiving top surgery — a mastectomy procedure that removes breast tissue — according to a study by Northwestern Medicine.
The study, published in peer-reviewed journal JAMA Pediatrics on Monday, is the first to show that top surgery is"associated with significant improvement in chest dysphoria, gender congruence, and body image in transmasculine and nonbinary teens and young adults," Northwestern Medicine said in a press release.
"When we compared the outcomes of patients who received gender-affirming top surgery to those who did not, we recognized that surgery significantly improved the quality of life for patients," said Dr. Sumanas Jordan, the director of the gender pathways program at Northwestern Medicine.Erik McGregor/LightRocket via Getty Images
"This has been well documented in adult patients, but until now it hasn't been well-described in teens and young adults," said Jordan, who is also the lead author of the Northwestern study.
