This book presents an overview of Facial gender confirming surgery (FGCS) and the importance of it in the surgery and transgender communities. FGCS uniquely requires blending together surgical and artistic abilities in order to transform the face into a new identity. Given the recent emphasis of providing care to transgender patients, the area of FGCS has experienced rapid evolution and growth. This text is essential to protect patients and arm surgeons with the knowledge needed to safely perform these surgeries.

This text is divided into three parts to let the reader fully digest what FGCS includes. Part 1 discusses general care of the transgender patient and provides the physician with an overview of the health and societal issues specific to this patient population. Part 2 is the main focus of the book and discusses facial gender confirming surgery and such as feminizing surgeries. Lastly, part 3 discusses voice surgery and voice therapy.

Gender Affirming Surgery of the Face and Neck can be applied in multiple medical fields, including Otolaryngology- Head and Neck Surgery, Facial Plastic Surgery, Plastic Surgery, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Laryngology, Speech Pathology, Oculoplastic Surgery, and Dermatology.
