curious if cosmetic surgery has similar loss to follow up as trans procedures?
Best I can tell (and I haven't looked into them as extensively), the numbers on cosmetic surgery are even sketchier than the numbers on detransition. You get some *HUGE* numbers, like 2/3 regret... and that feels like it couldn't possibly be accurate.

On interesting tidbit in my (admittedly shallow) research there was that some plastic surgeons claim that around half their business is in undoing or correcting previous plastic surgery.

Now, again half seems high to me... but if detransition was common we'd see reversals that showing up in transition surgeon's practice, and I haven't found anything of the kind.

I mean loss to follow up. How do they know if a cosmetic pt. regrets? Do they only assume regret if the person comes back and says "I regret"? Do they survey patients and ask them, and if they do, how many of them do they actually reach?
-
What I've seen have been third party studies conducted on women who self-identify as having had plastic surgeries, and anecdotal reports from surgeons who say they're undoing a lot of surgeries. Doctors/surgeons/clinics don't typically conduct long term follow up in medicine.
