Summary

This study looks at whether a silk-based wound dressing helps people heal better after double-incision mastectomy for female-to-male gender affirmation surgery. About 50 adults will be enrolled, and researchers will compare silk dressings to standard ones. The goal is to see if silk reduces skin irritation, infections, and early dressing failure.
