Secondary Forehead Lift in Transgender Women
Facial Plast Surg DOI: 10.1055/a-2235-7217Facial feminization surgery includes a series of procedures that aim to attenuate the masculine features of the face and make the face more feminine and harmonic.

Progressive Skull Osteolysis in the Setting of Endotine Implantation: A Case Report
CONCLUSION: We believe that our patient's focal calvarial osteolysis is a direct complication of Endotine fixation. Future research into the long-term effects of endoscopic brow lift procedures using Endotine implants is necessary to help ensure patient safety and guide future practices.PMID:37534717 | DOI:10.1177/00034894231190969 (Source: The Annals of Otology, Rhinology, and Laryngology)
