Facial Feminization & Masculinization Innovations

Recently, there have been many refinements in Facial Reconstruction Surgeries, such as rhinoplasty, jaw contouring, cheek augmentation, fat grafting, and Botox/fillers.

Top Surgery (chest reconstruction) is among the most gender affirming procedures in the U.S. Chest surgeries account for around 60% of cases in adults and nearly all among minors. However, ongoing political and legal pressures have caused some hospitals to pause or limit surgeries.

There is a rising preference for natural-looking, subtle results across transgender surgery, and patients are seeking complementary body contouring, such as liposuction, abdomioplasty, as well as fat transfer, to pair with top surgery.

Politics & Its Impact on Access

Trump’s Executive Order 14187 disrupted under-19 care; in this regard, legal and institutional responses vary. Adult access has also been affected in some hospitals, though courts have intervened. Patients, providers, and advocacy groups continue to adapt.
