Does Previous Breast Reduction Affect the Outcome of Gender-Affirming Subcutaneous Mastectomy?

Introduction: Despite the rising popularity of subcutaneous mastectomy (top surgery) in patients born female and identifying as male or nonbinary, there are limited studies on how prior breast surgeries affect subcutaneous mastectomy. This study evaluates if previous breast reduction affected subcutaneous mastectomy in this patient population.

Methods: The case series consists of 5 patients who, having had prior breast reductions, elected to have subcutaneous mastectomy.
