    Breast development in trans women receiving GAHT is influenced by the timing of puberty suppression (PS) and testosterone exposure during puberty.

  • 2

    Early initiation of PS did not result in larger breast volume compared to late PS or adult initiation, suggesting limited impact of testosterone exposure.

  • 3

    Median breast volume among participants was 115 mL, with 68% expressing satisfaction with their breast size despite generally small volumes.

  • 4

    Breast volume differences between early and late PS groups were minimal after adjusting for fat percentage, indicating limited effect on breast size.

  • 5

    The study highlights the need for further research on the timing of PS and its effects on breast development in transgender women.
