Abstract:
Facial feminization surgery (FFS) is a crucial intervention for transgender women. This article delves into comprehensive reconstruction of the upper third of the face, discussing anatomic differences between masculine and feminine features, and surgical considerations. Technical considerations, preoperative planning, procedural approaches, and postoperative care are described in detail. Patient-centered operative planning and execution ensure safety and efficacy in FFS and uphold its transformative effect on quality of life in appropriately selected surgical candidates.
