I'm not sure about it either, I just know that it seems to be the most clinically significant treatment. Most people with body dysmorphia regret their surgeries, rates for trans regret are extremely low. Usually in the range of .5%-2% depending on surgery. For reference, somewhere around 30-40% regret knee surgery depending on the study. Regret rate science is a pretty well established thing.
Yeah that makes sense, I don't doubt the regret numbers. I didn't realize cosmetic surgery regret was that high. Well damn, consider me educated.
I've seen that knee surgery figure before but I don't think it's a good comparison at all, and it's easily attacked. Knee surgery has immense potential for chronic pain afterward, and poor mobility. Dysmorphia regret rates are much more compelling.
Yeah, I mostly mention it because its a fairly common surgery
