The American Society of Plastic Surgeons published a position statement Tuesday recommending surgeons delay gender reassignment surgeries until a patient is 19-years-old, which earned praise from the Trump administration.

The release cites a Department of Health and Human Services article last year that highlights a “rapid expansion and implementation of a clinical protocol that lacked sufficient scientific and ethical justification," when it comes to pediatric gender-affirming care.

The ASPS, which represents more than 11,000 physicians globally, agreed with HHS that there is low certainty in the risk-benefit ratio for gender-related surgical interventions for minors. 

The announcement by the ASPS comes just days after a New York jury awarded $2 million in damages to 22-year-old Fox Varian in the first malpractice suit from a detransitioner to go before a jury. She underwent gender-transition surgery at age 16, according to The Free Press.
