Abstract
Feminizing frontal cranioplasty (FFC) is perhaps the most significant, single gender-affirming surgical procedure. It consists of forehead/glabella bone contouring and/or frontal sinus set back, orbital osteoplasty, anterior hairline rounding, hairline or scalp advancement, and brow lifting. The feminizing frontal cranioplasty is a safe and effective means to produce ideal patient results for gender-affirming facial surgery. Herein we describe an open approach to the frontal cranioplasty useful for facial feminization surgery.

This large-size, atlas-format journal presents detailed illustrations of new surgical procedures and techniques in otology, rhinology, laryngology, reconstructive head and neck surgery, and facial plastic surgery. Feature articles in each issue are related to a central theme by anatomic area or disease process. The journal will also often contain articles on complications, diagnosis, treatment or rehabilitation. New techniques that are non-operative are also featured.
