Facial feminization surgery
The goal of facial feminization surgery (FFS) is to change the features of a man to those of a woman. Dr Douglas Ousterhout developed the techniques based on careful examination of dry skulls, identifying characteristics that were typically male and female. Treatment protocols are based on the differences in these features. The group of procedures included in FFS are not designed to rejuvenate the face and are generally done on men who are transitioning into women and have gender dysphoria. Included in the procedures are correction of the hairline by scalp advance, contouring of the forehead, brow lift, rhinoplasty, cheek ...

Aesthetic Uses of the Botulinum Toxin
The cosmetic use of botulinum toxin (BoNT) is the most common cosmetic procedure performed in the world today. Common adverse events seen in the aesthetic use of the BoNT include swelling, localized bruising, headaches, injection site discomfort, excessive muscle weakness, and unintended paresis of adjacent muscles. BoNT has a wide array of cosmetic uses, including treatment of glabellar lines, chemical browlift, forehead wrinkles, periorbital, and perioral lines. The future formulations and applications of BoNT type A will be plentiful, and are exciting to consider. (Source: Dermatologic Clinics)

Preface
I am very honored to be the guest editor of this edition of Clinics in Plastic Surgery with a focus on local anesthetics. For many years, my staff has humored me each and every time I said, “I have an idea!” I have performed many operations using local anesthesia, from bilateral breast reductions, abdominoplasties, full face and open brow lifts, to microsurgical digital replantation. Plastic surgery is almost by definition an innovative field that inevitably changes with the times. Today, much cosmetic surgery is performed by non-plastic surgeons. This issue of Clinics in Plastic Surgery has a great group of diverse ...

Facial feminization surgery: case report, utilizing computer assisted surgical simulation and a novel technique for cranioplasty
Facial feminization surgery (FFS) refers to a set of surgical procedures that help to feminize, by facial alteration, a male-to-female transsexual to aid with society's acceptance and recognition of the transsexual as a female. The hard and soft tissue techniques used include scalp advancement, cranioplasty, brow lift, rhinoplasty, malar augmentation, bi-maxillary osteotomy, lip lift, mandibuloplasty, genioplasty, and chondrolaryngoplasty. To date, computer-aided design and computer aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) and computer assisted surgical stimulation (CASS) technology have been used for reliable surgeries in the middle...

Modified technique for endoscopic browlift: Emphasis on shape not height
In recent years, techniques which address the lateral brow have gained increased popularity due the recognition that eyebrow shape is more important aesthetically than height. The evolution of the senior author's technique permits a precise vector determinant for more lateral than medial brow elevation thus achieving a desirable brow shape.

Safety of cranial fixation in endoscopic brow lifts
Conclusion: Cranial thickness increases medially and posteriorly, and is larger for females compared with their male counterparts. Given the risk of CSF leak, surgeons need to be aware of how cranial thickness varies by location along the skull. (Source: American Journal of Otolaryngology)
