"Soft-Tissue Response to Hard Tissue Changes Following Facial Feminization Surgery: A Three-Dimensional Region-Based Study"

The authors aimed to analyze the relationship between bony modifications and soft tissue changes following facial feminization surgery (FFS) to improve aesthetic outcomes. Using pre- and post-operative CT scans and 3D photographs from 70 patients, they found significant correlations between soft tissue and bony changes, with variability in response ratios across different facial regions. The study highlights the importance of understanding these regional differences to enhance surgical planning precision in FFS.
