Testing a device to prevent raised scars after top surgery
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a special bandage-like device (Brijjit) that may help reduce thick, raised scars after gender-affirming mastectomy (top surgery). If you are having double incision top surgery and want to see if this device can give you flatter, less noticeable scars, this trial may be a good fit.
