P101. the effect of preoperative diagnosis of depression and/or anxiety on patient reported outcomes following chest wall masculinization surgery

While anxiety and depression are prevalent in gender minorities, we found no association with postoperative clinical outcomes. Patients with preoperative depression were more likely to report lower satisfaction with scar appearance and feelings of depression postoperatively. However, there were no differences in chest or nipple satisfaction. These results highlight the importance of perioperative mental health counseling but also suggest that patients can be satisfied with their results despite a coexisting mental health diagnosis.
