Facial feminization surgery (FFS) is characterized by a series of relatively diverse procedures aimed at aligning skeletal and soft tissue facial appearance with one's experienced feminine gender. Although there are several well-described outcomes from surgical techniques, there is no standardized methodology to provide reliable analyses of postoperative FFS outcomes. This paper describes the first reliable and reproducible technique to accurately and consistently measure post-FFS changes to guide surgical planning to optimize patient outcomes.

Chin narrowing surgery also described as T-shape genioplasty is a procedure commonly performed in South Korean females, as well as, transgender females as it provides more triangle and feminine appearance of the lower face. It requires segmentation of the chin and that is more challenging than classic sliding genioplasty, which is commonly performed in the correction of retro or progenia. This article describes the utility of the new concept of a t-shape genioplasty plate that reduces the time of operation and minimizes typical complications of this procedure such as postoperative chin asymmetry or inadequate adhesion between bone segments.

Veterinarians face ethical challenges during their careers, but despite evidence of work-related stress and burnout in veterinarians, moral distress has been poorly investigated. Using an online survey, professional experience, moral distress, and burnout were investigated in 704 Italian veterinarians caring for companion animals, farm animals, or both. The reliability of the moral distress questionnaire was optimal, and Factor analysis identified four factors for moral distress: I.

The Most Socially Vulnerable Patients Benefit the Most Following Gender Affirming Facial Surgery.

Objective: While studies have shown that access to facial feminization surgery can be restricted by financial and geographic limitations, there is a lack of information on the impact of surgery on the most vulnerable patients. Therefore, this study assessed the impact of social vulnerability and neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage on patient-reported outcomes after facial feminization surgery.
Methods: Patients were surveyed pre and postoperatively using the FACE-Q Aesthetics Questionnaire and geo-coded using home addresses to obtain social vulnerability index (SVI) and Area Deprivation Index scores.

At present, there is no gender-affirming facial surgery that offers feminization of the lateral neck. To demonstrate reliable relationship between the great auricular nerve point (GAP) and spinal accessory nerve along the sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM) in human anatomical specimens and demonstrate feasibility of muscle transection in one transgender female patient. A total of 14 human anatomical specimen dissections were performed to determine if a transection of the SCM perpendicular to the GAP could be performed without potential compromise of the spinal accessory nerve.
