This social media graphic was created to help explain myringotomy and ear tube placement to parents and caregivers of small children who experience recurrent ear infections.

We care about health equity.
Scar care is a specific and overlooked aftercare need for gender-affirming surgery patients. Transgender and gender diverse patients have functional, safety, and aesthetic concerns related to surgery scars.

Care was taken to consult subject matter experts and patients in the creation of the written and visual content of this resource to make it as understandable and useful as possible to people planning to undergo reconstructive chest masculinizing mastectomy (top surgery).
