Oral Maxillofac Surg Clin North Am. 2024 Feb 14:S1042-3699(24)00003-7. doi: 10.1016/j.coms.2024.01.003. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFacial feminization surgery (FFS) as applied to the midfacial region targets modifications to the nasal and malar esthetic complexes. Although a global assessment is paramount in achieving desired functional results, most patients benefit from malar feminization in the form of bony and soft tissue augmentation, and nasal feminization in the form of reductive rhinoplasty. For patients with signs of aging, additional interventions in the form of rhytidectomy are powerful adjuncts to feminizati...
