Abstract:
Facial feminization surgery (FFS) combines a series of facial bone and soft tissue surgeries to feminize the masculine appearance of the face in a transgender female patient. Jaw reduction surgery is an extremely critical component of FFS and is generally performed in combination with genioplasty. Our technique of jaw reduction involves sagittal resection of the mandible from the angle of the jaw to the mental nerve region. This creates a smooth transition from the ramus to the chin and also retains the integrity of the inner portion of the mandible. We discuss our techniques of jaw reduction surgery in this article.

Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...

Sutures of the Skull
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...
