Gender-Afrming Facial Surgery: Ofce- Based Procedures
AbigailFrazier, PoolakBhatt, andEldaFisher
Transgender care has become a critical point of discussion within healthcare spheres. With the number of patients seeking gender-afrming care on the rise, it is crucial to provide insight into transgender populations, along with a thorough understanding of medical and surgical techniques to meet the needs of transgender patients. This chapter aims to briey investigate the denition of gender dysphoria, the basic World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) criteria for gender-afrming care and the application of gender-afrming surgery as it applies to ofce-based procedures for facial gender afrmation.
Transgender Populations
Terminology
Over the last few decades, transgender terminology has rapidly evolved to reect the growing needs of the community. It is critical for surgeons to understand funda­mental differences in terminology to successfully treat this population. Perhaps most crucial to the discussion of gender-afrming surgery is distinguishing between gender nonconformity and gender dysphoria. It is well established that biological

sex and gender are exclusive entities, with sex referring to specic chromosomes and genitalia that identify people as either “male” or “female” at birth and gender referring to the internal feelings of masculinity or femininity experienced by each person. From these denitions, each culture has adopted both spoken and unspoken protocols dictating how a person’s gender should align with their birth sex [1]. While the majority of the population has a gender identity that conforms with their biological sex, a subset of people do not share this experience. Interestingly, there is a growing body of evidence suggesting one’s brain has anatomic ndings that reect their preferred biological sex rather than their assigned biological sex [2]. As a per­son’s gender identity, role, or expression begins to contrast with gender norms for a given sex, they are considered transgender/gender nonconforming. While gender nonconformity is a blanket statement for the extent one’s gender expression devi­ates from cultural norms, gender dysphoria is the marked stress and discomfort resulting from the inconsistency between birth sex and gender identity [3]. It is within the gender dysphoria population that gender-afrming surgeons nd them­selves tasked to address surgical needs to alleviate distress on the road to acceptance for their desired gender expression and identity.
Validation and support for the transgender community begin long before the sur­gery date. In addition to understanding transgender terminology, the proper use of pronouns is vital to generating trust and respect with patients. Misgendering patients continues to serve as a barrier to healthcare access for the transgender community [35]. To counteract this issue, it is recommended that gender-afrming surgeons make inclusive questions and language part of their daily routine, including asking each patient their preferred pronouns. Proactive measures are the foundation for building relationships and achieving long-term treatment goals.
A. Frazier et al.
Epidemiology
The question that arises during gender-afrming surgery discussions is that of need.
What is the prevalence of people who identify as transgender, and how many have gender dysphoria that requires medical and surgical intervention? In the United
States, most recent studies have identied anywhere between 0.4% and 3% of the population identify themselves as transgender [6, 7]. This equates to, at the very least, over one million people in the United States who are transgender. International studies over the years have discovered the prevalence of those living with gender dysphoria to range from 1:11,900 to 1:45,000 for male-to-female individuals (MtF) and 1:30,400 to 1:200,000 for female-to-male (FtM) individuals [3]. Though studies range in their methodology, there is a common theme among scholars: the popula­tion of transgender and those living with gender dysphoria is grossly underesti­mated. Reasons for this discrepancy include but are not limited to access to healthcare, discrimination and fear surrounding gender nonconforming individuals, and lack of education to both healthcare providers and the public [3, 6, 7]. Since it

is assumed the true population of transgender individuals is underrepresented, the question becomes not whether the need exists, but how can surgeons advocate for transgender patients through medical and surgical intervention.
Inaccurate representation of the transgender population is in part due to discrimi­nation in healthcare environments. Roughly one-third of transgender patients have reported some form of harassment or outright denial of service in a medical setting, causing many transgender people to postpone medical care altogether [2]. There are, therefore, health disparities unique to the transgender population such as higher than average rates of HIV, drug, and alcohol dependence found in transgender popu­lations. Notably, with the absence of regular care to monitor hormone therapy, one in four transgender people have turned to self-prescribing illegally obtained cross­sex hormones to manage their dysphoria [2]. Further, without adequate attention to the subject, transgender patients who should be screened for cancer/disease associ­ated with sex are overlooked. Not only is this dangerous if pathological processes go undiagnosed, but without transgender-competent providers, transgender patients who are screened for organ-associated disease processes can experience further physical and emotional distress when the screening does not afrm their gender [3]. Finally, suicide and suicidal ideation are alarmingly high in this population and should be addressed in the context of psychosocial considerations as a whole.
In the United States, the annual rate for suicidal ideation is 4%. This is a stagger­ing contrast to the transgender community, where reports of suicidal ideation reach as high as 50% of the population [8]. The reason behind such a stark contrast is multifactorial but is centered around the psychosocial pain and stress faced by the transgender community due to discrimination within society. Transgender people are twice likely to be refused a job compared to cis-LGB (lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals who identify with their assigned birth gender) employees, have 2.2× greater risk of homelessness than non-LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) individuals, experience 71.1 violent victimizations per 1000 people compared to
19.2 per 1000 non-LGBT people, and are overall more likely to experience preju­dice and bullying from peers and family [3, 9, 10, 11]. The levels of anxiety, depres- sion, eating disorders, self-harm, and suicidal ideation are inuenced heavily by the experiences transgender people have in their daily lives. It is important to be cogni­zant of health disparities and psychosocial considerations in the transgender com­munity to educate, refer to specialists, and support them in continuity of care.

Gender-Afrming Care
With a broad understanding of transgender terminology and epidemiology, the dis­cussion can appropriately shift to medical interventions and their associated criteria for transgender patients. The current authority on transgender treatment guidelines is The Standards of Care Version 7, researched and constructed by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH). In short, this document

functions “to provide clinical guidance for health professionals to assist transsexual, transgender, and gender-nonconforming people with safe and effective pathways to achieving lasting personal comfort with their gendered selves, in order to maximize their overall health, psychological well-being, and self-fulllment.” [3] An impor­tant aspect of these guidelines are criteria for hormonal and surgical intervention. For both hormonal and surgical intervention, it is required to have (1) persistent, well-documented gender dysphoria (12months for surgical intervention), (2) the capacity to make fully informed decision and to consent for treatment, (3) age of majority in a given country, and (4) reasonably well-controlled medical or mental health concerns if present. Additional requirements for surgery include (1) referrals from a qualied mental health professional, (2) hormone therapy, and (3) 12 con­tinuous months of living in a gender role that is congruent with their gender identity. The 12-month criteria serve as an evidence-based timeline to give patients ample time to socially adjust to the desired gender role before undergoing irreversible interventions [3].
Given the above criteria, most gender dysphoria patients who present for gender- afrming facial surgery consultations have had hormone and other surgi­cal therapy. For hormone therapy, dosage and regimen vary greatly depending on the person and predisposing risks for complications. For feminizing medications, a combination of estrogen and anti-androgens are most commonly used. Given the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) associated with high-dose exogenous estrogen, transdermal estrogen is recommended, and anti-androgen medications minimize the amount of estrogen needed to suppress testosterone [3]. Common anti-androgenic hormones include spironolactone (Aldactone), cyproterone (Androcur), GnRH agonists (Eligard, Lupron Depot), and 5-alpha reductase inhibitors (Avodart, Propecia). For masculinizing hormones, testosterone is suf­cient, although progestins can be used in the early stages for a short time to aid in menstrual cessation [3]. The degree/rate of physical effects and development of risks depends on the medication(s) of choice, dose, and route of administration. Risks as dened by the standard of care are categorized by “likely increased risk,” “possible increased risk,” and “no increased risk or inconclusive.” Feminizing hormones are associated with a likely increased risk of complications like VTE and hypertriglyceridemia, but there is currently no increased risk of breast cancer. Masculinizing hormones are associated with a likely increased risk of complica­tions like polycythemia, male pattern balding, and sleep apnea, but there is cur­rently no evidence to support risk of breast, cervical, ovarian, or uterine cancer [3]. These risks and other potential risks are summarized in Table20.1. In general and although highly variable, physical changes are expected to occur over the course of 2years [3] (Table20.1).

The Facial Skeletal andSoft Tissue Differences
The foundation for facial feminization surgical planning must be a sound knowl­edge of anatomy and its variations between men and women. Over the years, anthro­pometric and cephalometric studies have determined facial sex differences are most noticeable in the forehead/supraorbital ridges, orbital borders, malar eminences, nose, mandible, and neck form [12, 13]. It is important to note there are other vari­ables that affect facial shape and proportions besides gender, such as race and age; however, for the purpose of this discussion, craniofacial and soft tissue standards are compared only between males and females.
The craniofacial skeleton has distinct bony that are the target of facial feminiza­tion procedures. Overall, the male face is wider and longer in regard to both the skeletal and soft tissue due to the length of exposure to and amount of testosterone during development. There are standard measurements that delineate the general differences in facial width and height between men and women: Fig.20.1.
Not only is the male face larger overall, but variations exist within each facial third. With the upper facial third, the forehead and orbital rims differ between males and females. In females, their forehead slope tends to be more vertical, they have more obtuse nasofrontal angle, and less projection of lateral orbital rims. The angu­lation in the forehead slope is measured relative to the vertical plane through the glabella [13].

The supraorbital and lateral orbital rims normally project 5–10mm beyond the anterior corneal plane and are far more pronounced in men than women [13]. In addition, the nasion in males is deeper than in females [6]. As a result, the nasofron­tal angle in men is more acute than in females [13] (Fig.20.2).
