Gender Affirming Surgery of the Face and Neck

This book presents an overview of facial gender confirming surgery (FGCS) and its importance within the surgical and transgender communities. FGCS uniquely blends surgical and artistic abilities to transform the face into a new identity, and the recent emphasis on providing care to transgender patients has driven rapid evolution and growth in this area.

Divided into three parts, the text first covers general care of the transgender patient and the health and societal issues specific to this population. It then focuses on facial gender confirming surgery, including feminizing procedures, before turning to voice surgery and voice therapy.

Written for practitioners across otolaryngology-head and neck surgery, facial plastic surgery, plastic surgery, oral and maxillofacial surgery, laryngology, speech pathology, oculoplastic surgery, and dermatology, the book equips surgeons with the knowledge needed to safely perform these procedures.
