  • Title: Gender Affirming Facial Surgery-Anatomy and Procedures for Facial Masculinization.
    Author: Akhavan AA, Pang JH, Morrison SD, Satterwhite T.
    Journal: Oral Maxillofac Surg Clin North Am; 2024 May; 36(2):221-236. PubMed ID: 38458858.
    Abstract:
    For some patients, feminine facial features may cause significant gender dysphoria. Multiple nonsurgical and surgical techniques exist to masculinize facial features. Nonsurgical techniques include testosterone supplementation and dermal fillers. Surgical techniques include soft tissue manipulation, synthetic implants, regenerative scaffolding, or bony reconstruction. Many techniques are derived from experience with cisgender patients, but are adapted with special considerations to differing anatomy between cisgender and transgender men and women. Currently, facial masculinization is less commonly sought than feminization, but demand is likely to increase as techniques are refined and made available.
