“…[ 16 ] From a female perspective, overcorrection could result in more feminine feature. [ 19 ] If that is not a concern, the need for re-surgery may be avoided. If undercorrected, the residual MH would still contribute to the failure of the surgery.…”

Introduction: The association of mandibular gonial angle, facial height, and jaw relationship in masseteric hypertrophy (MH) has not been adequately described for the typical Indian population. The aim of this study was to report the gonial angle relationship with facial height parameters in cases diagnosed with bilateral MH and its possible influence on the treatment plan. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study based on archival records of bilateral MH cases surgically treated over a 10-year period at the author's center. Patients' records fulfilling inclusion and exclusion criteria were considered for the study. Age, gender, upper anterior facial height (UAFH), lower anterior facial height (LAFH), upper posterior facial height (UPFH), ramus height (also a reflection of the lower posterior facial height), and gonial angle were collected along with the type of bite (open/normal/deep), surgical procedure (debulking with/without bone removal), and concomitant jaw bone corrections (yes/no). These were subjected to statistical analysis using SPSS, and P ≤ 0.05 was taken as statistically significant. Results: Overall, 21 patients formed the study group comprising 9 females and 12 males. Gender influenced the UAFH, LAFH, UPFH, ramus height, and gonial angle significantly. Males had higher values than females. Normal bite had an obtuse gonial angle than the deep bite, and the difference was statistically significant ( P = 0.036). When the gonial angle was acute or square faced, the need for other surgical procedures was high and the difference was statistically significant ( P = 00.048). Discussion and Conclusion: The results are discussed in the light of Indian skeletal anthropometry. The relationship of the gonial angle with facial height parameters in bilateral MH cases in this part of the world is presented.

“…The FFS, in turn, is defined as a set of extensive procedures performed on soft and hard facial tissues aiming to give feminine characteristics to male individuals 4,36,37 . Over the years, many techniques have been developed to alter facial appearance, including reduction of mandibular angle, removal of Bichat's adipose body, maxillary osteotomy and reduction of zygomatic prominence 4,33,38 . Other common procedures are mentoplasty, which consists of scraping the mental region to thin and shrink the chin (in some cases, an implant is made), and Facial feminization surgery in transsexuals: ethical and forensic reflections Update rhinoplasty, which generally seeks to reduce the nasal dorsum and lift the tip of the nose 33,38 .…”

“…As Parker and collaborators 9 point out, understanding what the individual expects is important so that at the end of the process they feel satisfied. As this procedure is only available on the private network, some people save money all their life to perform the FFS 4 . Expectations are high and cannot be ignored.…”

Cirurgia de feminização facial em transexuais: reflexões éticas e forenses

Resumo Cirurgias de feminização facial, que visam tornar o rosto de mulheres transexuais mais feminino, alteram tecidos moles e duros. Tais procedimentos envolvem inúmeros aspectos éticos, desde a cobertura por planos de saúde e serviço público até o direito à mudança de nome. Há também consequências forenses, no que diz respeito à eventual necessidade de identificar pessoas submetidas a esse tipo de cirurgia. Essas consequências, embora importantes, são pouco consideradas em estudos científicos. Com isso, neste trabalho são analisados alguns aspectos éticos e forenses decorrentes de cirurgias de feminização facial.

“…Published studies are limited to the review of and experience with facial feminization procedures and an assessment of the impact on quality of life and delivery of care for patients undergoing facial feminization. [34][35][36][37][38] Given the need for surgeons trained in facial plastic and maxillofacial surgery to care for transgender people and perform gender-affirmation surgery, it is prudent to assess the state of education on gender affirmation in OMS residency training programs. The aim of this study was to evaluate OMS residents' exposure to the care of transgender people and their perceived importance of education in gender-affirming surgery.…”

With a growing number of individuals seeking gender‐affirming surgery, there is a greater need for providers, including oral and maxillofacial surgeons, experienced in the surgical care of transgender people. The aim of this study was to evaluate oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS) residents’ exposure to the care of transgender people and their perceived importance of education in gender‐affirming surgery. All 1,174 OMS residents in accredited U.S. training programs were invited to participate in this cross‐sectional study between July 1, 2017, and January 30, 2018. The predictor variables were residents’ gender, program region, program type, and level of training. The outcome variables were frequency of exposure to the care of transgender people, aspects of care covered, perceived importance of such training, and perceived need for fellowship opportunities in gender‐affirming surgery. Results were analyzed for 87 respondents, for a 7.4% response rate. Among the respondents, 81.6% were male; 64.4% were training in combined MD degree‐OMS certificate programs; and 31% reported having had exposure to the care of transgender people during their residency. On a scale from 1=neutral to 3=very important, the respondents’ mean reported importance of receiving training in gender‐affirming surgery was 1.37±0.94. Also, 37.9% reported that fellowship training should be offered in gender‐affirming surgery, specifically facial feminization/masculinization. These results showed that the OMS residents had had limited exposure to the care of transgender people, but they perceived that such exposure should be an important component of their training. Further research is needed to collect results from a larger sample and to better understand the role of oral and maxillofacial surgeons in gender‐affirmation surgery.
