Facial Gender Confirmation Surgery: Facial Feminization Surgery and Facial Masculinization Surgery

Abstract

Facial feminization surgery was pioneered in the 1980s to provide options for trans women who were having difficulty with their outward appearance. This process presented a novel application of craniofacial surgery at the time. This text outlines the basic differences between male and female facial morphology, as well as the procedures we use to feminize the face.
