Midfacial Bony Remodeling.

Midfacial Bony Remodeling. Facial Plast Surg Clin North Am. 2019 May;27(2):221-226 Authors: Lundgren KC, Koudstaal MJ Abstract Craniofacial procedures to the midface in conjunction with work to the upper face and skull, and if needed the lower jaw, are a permanent and effective way to achieve feminization of the face in transgender patients. Although the surgery is more complex than other procedures, it should be considered for select patients. Further improvement of cosmesis may be considered a separate surgical entity and is not limited in scope or time by having undergone midface osteotomies. When carefully planned, bony surgery to the midface is safe and results in long-term predictive results and a favorable appearance as the patient ages." PMID: 30940387 [PubMed - in process]
