Abstract

Throughout the history, cross-dressing has been a practice that was well-accepted. However, gender dysphoria has only been recently approved by society. Facial feminization surgery (FFS) refers to a variety of surgical procedures aiming to transform the features of a male face to that of a female face. Several studies have illustrated that the upper third of the face plays the most importance role in determining gender. In this paper, the Western approaches to forehead feminization are discussed. Level of Evidence: Level V
