Facial Gender Affirmation Surgery

A key component for those individuals who have elected to undergo procedures to address gender dysmorphia is facial modification surgery. Gender dysphoria may cause people to experience major stress and impairment on social and personal levels.

Gender dysmorphia, previously referred to as gender identity disorder, often is assisted through the skills and procedures provided by facial plastic surgery.
