Risk Factors for Postsurgical Infections in Facial Feminization Surgery.

Background: Facial feminization surgical procedures are involving several surgical disciplines in multiple surgical sites and therefore may carry the risk of developing infections. Data on the development of postsurgical infection (PSI) and contributing factors in male-to-female transgender people (transwomen) undergoing facial feminization surgery are scarce. The aim of this study was to investigate the contributing factors to develop PSIs in facial feminization surgical procedures.
