“…Endoscopic assistance allows magnified visualization with the benefit of smaller scars, reduced risk of nerve injury, decreased length of hospital stay, and less soft tissue dissection as compared to open techniques [10, 13]. Song et al reported a sentinel case of endoscopic frontal bone contouring in a 42-year-old Korean woman in 1995 [14]. A recent retrospective report on the success of the endoscopic approach to correct female frontal bossing has lent support to the efficacy, decreased morbidity, and positive aesthetic outcomes.…”

Gender affirmation surgeries in male-to-female patient transitioning include breast augmentation, genital construction, and facial feminization surgery (FFS). FFS improves mental health and quality of life in transgender patients. The nose and forehead are critical in facial attractiveness and gender identity; thus, frontal brow reduction and rhinoplasty are a mainstay of FFS. The open approach to reduction of the frontal brow is very successful in the feminization of the face; however, risks include alopecia and scarring. Endoscopic brow reduction, in properly selected patients, is minimally invasive with excellent outcomes avoiding these risks. Since both reduction rhinoplasty and frontal brow reduction are routinely performed in FFS, a combined approach provides superior control over the nasal radix and profile when performing surgery on the frontal bone region first followed by nose reduction. We present a case series of four transwomen undergoing frontal bone reduction in combination with a reduction rhinoplasty. All had excellent results with one DVT that resolved with treatment. Transgender patients frequently require multiple operations during their transition increasing their hospital stay and costs. This combined approach offers superior control over the nasofrontal angle and is not only safe but reduces hospitalizations and costs and is a novel indication to reduce gender dysphoria.

“…Therapeutic applications of sinonasal endoscopy are established and have improved treatment and decreased complications in paranasal sinus, frontal sinus, and frontal osteoma surgery 8 . Endoscopy has also been advocated in plastic surgery for facial contouring and rejuvenation procedures 9–11 . Similarly, traumatic facial fractures, particularly zygomatic complex fractures and select mandibular fractures, have been repaired with this minimally invasive approach 12–14 .…”

Endoscopic‐Assisted Reduction of Anterior Table Frontal Sinus Fractures

“…Endoscopic contouring of the forehead was first described by Song et al on a Korean woman with frontal bone deformities. [115] Since then, most published endoscopic manipulation of the frontal bone and supraorbital ridge has involved osteoma mass excision or frontal sinus fracture repair. Retrospective reviews of patients receiving endoscopic correction of frontal bossing have shown promising aesthetic results with minimal postoperative morbidity.…”
