I've read that the riskiest is liposuction. That's kind of surprising too.
I’m not opposed to gender reaffirming surgeries at all, but wondered/worried about people who might regret it. I still will, though with the reassurance that it’s very unlikely.
And now I’m worried about my neighbour who got a hip replacement instead, haha.
