A member asked:
I am an ftm transgender and was wondering if it would be a problem to chest bind having an open vsd repair as an infant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, unlikely, but...: I would like to congratulate you for having done well after open VSD repair in infancy. Artificial chest binding to forge FTM physical stature itself should not affect existing heart function if it is sound. But in reality, it is for your best interest to ask your doctor who has monitored your transgendering process, which demands a lifelong personal & professional dedication and cooperation.
