Detransitioner, 28, who had her breasts removed at 20 is having boob job to reclaim her femininity – as she warns other trans teens: ‘Being a woman is hard but rushing into surgery isn’t the answer’

A woman who had a double mastectomy when she lived as a trans man is now planning to have surgery to get her breasts back.

Alia Ismail, now 28, came out as a transgender man when she was 18 and began a medical transition that saw her take hormones and have her breasts removed at 20.

But in February 2021, Alia, a barber from Detroit, Michigan, decided to detransition after realizing that her new identity as a trans man didn’t represent who she was.
