  • Title: Minimally Invasive Procedures for Gender Affirmation.
    Author: MacGregor JL, Chang YC.
    Journal: Dermatol Clin; 2020 Apr; 38(2):249-260. PubMed ID: 32115135.
    Abstract:
    Despite an increase in the visibility of the transgender population, those who transition continue to face barriers to receiving care through traditional medical providers. Dermatologists can play an important role in the care of transgender patients, through increased understanding and awareness, better outreach, modified medical forms, improved office procedures, and safer and immediately available minimally invasive aesthetic treatments. Minimally invasive aesthetic enhancements that help align appearance with aesthetic goals and gender identity can enhance confidence and improve quality of life. This article discusses gender transition, applicable minimally invasive procedures for the face and body, and illustrative case examples.
