Pro-Transgender Surgeon Flaunts Patients’ Amputated Breasts

A surgeon who specializes in performing attempted transgender transitions on people who think they were born in the wrong body posted a photo Friday of her patients’ amputated breasts.

“This is how breasts look after they have been removed (after 3 top surgeries in this case) they are carefully packed up and sent off to the lab,” wrote Dr. Sidhbh Gallagher in an Instagram caption on Friday.

The picture she posted featured the caption: “Where do the breasts go after top surgery?” alongside a photo of several buckets in which something peach-colored is slightly discernible.

“The pathologists checks them for any abnormalities,” she continued. “This is common practice whenever we remove breast tissue. 1/8 folks assigned female at birth can develop breast cancer, so we send them to be checked to be safe.”

The surgeon limited the replies to her post, but one trans-identifying user did ask: “Could I theoretically get my toodies back after they’re checked? [I don’t know], put [them] in some formaldehyde and [display] them in my living room?”

Gallagher has gained prominence on social media by taking photos with the people she operates on and posting such photos on both TikTok and Instagram, where she has a combined following of more than 300,000 followers.

She posts graphic before-and-after pictures of her patients, including biologically female patients who get double mastectomies. Those pictures often show most of a patient’s naked body except for their genitalia, and often feature the scars from double mastectomies.

The New York Times reports that this public visibility has helped Gallagher to build “a thriving top surgery specialty,” since most of her patients find her on TikTok.

In October 2022, a number of watchdog groups reported her to the Federal Trade Commission for using her TikTok to “unfairly and deceptively” sway teens into getting gender-transition surgeries.

They also alleged that she does not accurately reflect the real risks, both physical and psychological, of those surgeries, particularly given the growing number of detransitioners speaking up about the dangers of such attempts.

Gallagher describes herself as “Dr. Teetus Deletus,” the Irish Independent reports, and has regularly described her mastectomy surgeries as “yeet the teets.”

In an interview with the Irish Independent in 2018, she described how she had a long-time fascination with plastic surgery.

“It immediately clicked,” she said of plastic surgery. “They were doing real ‘Frankenstein’ stuff. Taking parts of the body completely off and sewing them back on underneath a microscope. I was blown away, and I really hoped that reconstructing and enhancing body parts would feel the same as making pieces of art … did.”

She operates out of Miami, Florida, but is originally from Ireland and studied at University College Dublin.

Gallagher is aware of the backlash against her practices. In an Instagram video posted July 26, she highlighted a cartoon drawing depicting her holding a knife and a bucket of “yeeted teets.”

“What do you guys think … I think she was supposed to hurt my feelings, but she’s kind of fabulous, no?” she joked in the caption, asking, “Is it just me? I’m kind of obsessed. … Are the transphobes obsessed with me?”

Gallagher did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Reached by phone, an assistant at her Miami-based office said she was on vacation until next week.

According to the Gallagher Plastic Surgery website, the surgeon employs her sister, Neasa, at the Miami-based practice.

“The Gallagher family have always been LGBTQ advocates,” the practice website states. “Neasa especially loves to work with our transgender patients helping them reach their gender-affirmation goals.”
