Abstract:
Facial feminization surgery encompasses a range of procedures aimed at providing gender-affirming transformations of the facial skeleton and soft tissue for transgender women. The performance of these procedures has increased in recent years, and several states have expanded insurance coverage for gender-affirmation surgeries. Facial feminization is generally considered safe and well-tolerated; however, there is a paucity of large studies examining complication rates and post-surgical issues. Here, the authors describe the first reported case of a parasymphyseal mandibular fracture after sliding reduction genioplasty and bilateral mandibular body reduction osteoplasties in a 52-year-old transgender woman. The mandible fracture was treated with closed reduction, and the patient made a good recovery.

01:27Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...

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...
