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.

It's a real problem with the narrative of people being "lost to follow up" because, like so many things in the transgender "issue" discussion, normal practices across medicine are portrayed as somehow strange or unsavory.

Where I come down is: There's loads of wiggle room for over or undercounting. However, if plastic surgery regret studies find high numbers and detransition studies find low numbers, the most likely reason is destransition is rare, plastic surgery regret is common.
