| Popis: | Facial feminization surgery may be a part of a treatment plan for gender dysphoria. Initial mental health assessment must occur. Referrals for hormonal therapy may then be made if appropriate. No guidelines exist for timing of facial feminization surgery. Generally, recommendations are for individuals to undergo hormonal therapy and live in a gender-congruent role for at least 12 months before surgical intervention. Referral letters meeting World Professional Association of Transgender Health guidelines must be made regarding the treatment course and goals. Informed consent must be obtained; patient should understand how surgical alteration fits into their overall treatment goals. |
