A place to put lists that I always want to look for but that I don't bookmark, and that the internet never has up-to-date.

Trans vs. non-trans treatment/surgery regret rates

This section provides peer-reviewed scientific sources for regret rates for various trans-related treatments/surgeries and treatments/surgeries that are not related to transition. Note that several gender-affirming treatments/surgeries are primarily performed on cisgender people, and on cis women in particular.

TL;DR: The only procedure that is really close in terms of the extremely low regret rate for gender-affirming surgeries in trans people is double mastectomy in cis women who have the genetic marker for breast cancer (45-90% limetime risk of breast cancer[1]).

I've made the rows about trans people pink to make them easy to find. The table is sorted with low regret rates at the top and high regret rates at the bottom.

Treatment Regret rate (sorted by regret ascending) Source
Any kind of gender affirmation surgery for trans people <1% (transmasc), 1% (transfem) Source
Double mastectomy to prevent breast cancer in genetically-prone cis women 0% regret, but 3.6% would definitely not make the same decision again Source
Hysterectomy in cis women for menorrhagia, fibroids, endometriosis, pelvic pain 2.8% Source
Vasectomy 6% Source
Breast implants in cisgender women <10% regret, 6% want implants removed Source
Elective plastic surgery in adolescence Varies by procedure but around 10% seems common Source
Regret of having children Varies by study, but usually in the 10-20% range Source
Hysterectomy in cis women for endometriosis 16.3% had "some level of regret" Source
Breast reconstruction after a mastectomy 19.5% moderate to strong regret Source
Back surgery 21% in older adults Source
Knee surgery 22% total regret, 2.9% even without complications Source
Using hormones to limit the adult height of tall girls 42.1% Source

Also in a Dutch study 98%[2] of those who received gender affirmative care as kids continued to use hormones as adults.
