Facial Feminization Surgery

This book examines facial feminization surgery (FFS), which encompasses a myriad of procedures that are performed in order to alleviate gender dysphoria among transgender and non-binary populations. Demand for FFS has risen significantly, thus warranting greater discussion and education of such procedures among the plastic surgery community. To date, there has not been a standardized text for plastic surgeons and trainees to refer to when performing FFS.

Chapters address key issues, such as: 1) anatomic differences between cis-masculine and cis-feminine faces; 2) discuss operative techniques and considerations among respective procedures performed for facial feminization (i.e. forehead reduction, hairline advancement, brow lift, rhinoplasty, lip lift, genioplasty, facial fat grafting); 3) operating room setup, anesthesia considerations, as well the post-operative protocols for hospitalization among patients undergoing FFS; 4) navigate the process of pre-operative consultation among transgender and non-binary patients; 5) the advent and role of virtual surgical planning (VSP) within FFS; 6) the challenges of promoting access, lowering cost, and enhancing delivery of FFS care.

Facial Feminization Surgery: Operative Techniques and Clinical Considerations is an essential resource for physicians, residents, fellows, and medical students in physicians, residents, fellows, and medical students in plastic surgery, otolaryngology, and oral-maxillofacial surgery.
