  • The Rest Is Plastics Episode 27 - Gender Affirming Surgery

    The Rest Is Plastics Episode 27 - Gender Affirming Surgery
    2026/04/23

    In this episode, TRIP host Anton Fries discusses the paper "Masculinizing Chest Surgery Outcomes by Body Mass Index and American Society of Anesthesiologists Class in Ambulatory Care" with senior author Dr. Kathleen Armstrong.

    Dr. Kathleen Armstrong is a Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgeon at Women's College Hospital and The McLean Clinic, and serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of Surgery at University of Toronto. The paper examines outcomes after masculinizing chest surgery performed in an ambulatory setting, focusing on whether BMI and ASA class are associated with postoperative complications. The study adds to growing evidence that carefully selected patients across a broader range of BMI and comorbidity profiles may safely undergo outpatient gender-affirming chest surgery, with implications for reducing unnecessary barriers to care.

    You can read the paper in full for free at the following link -
