• Changes made to the forehead and periorbital region can have dramatic effects in gender-affirmation surgery. Removal of frontal bossing and alteration of orbital shape can result in significant facial feminization. This elective surgical intervention must be safe, reliable, and aesthetically effective. The described technique of frontal and periorbital bone contouring allows for a safe and consistent surgical outcome in properly selected patients. Nuances in specific technical maneuvers in this operation can have profound effects on safety and aesthetic outcomes. In this article, specific points are detailed in text and video describing the senior author's (E.D.R) surgical approach.
