Masculinizing Mammoplasty for Female-to-Male Transgenders: 10 Years ’ Experience
ConclusionsQuality of life, satisfaction, complications, and revisions were comparable to those observed in the literature. Hematoma was the most frequent complication, and an association with the use of testosterone was observed. When a double incision is indicated, the inferior pedicle is more advantageous than the areola graft; however, it should be used when the distance between the nipple and the inframammary fold is 8 cm or less.Level of Evidence IVThis journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
