Results: Transgender females chose a narrower nasal tip width as more attractive (P≤0.001), and evaluated a more acute supratip angle, and more obtuse mandibular gonial angle as both more feminine and attractive (all P≤0.023) compared to non-transgender females. Respondents were requested to select and rank images based on personal perceptions of femininity and attractiveness. Five virtually-modified forms of three facial features, the nasal tip width, supratip break, mandibular gonial angles, and the composite images of the above features of an individual, assigned male at birth, were used.
Methods: The data was extracted from a survey of transgender females (n=104), non-transgender females (n=192) (completion rate of 48.4%) and plastic surgeons who performed FFS (n=23) (survey response rate of 31.5%). This study aims to evaluate perceptions of femininity, attractiveness, and ideal surgical outcomes in transgender females, non-transgender females and plastic surgeons.
Background: Facial Feminization Surgery (FFS) alters bone and soft tissue to feminize facial features of transgender females.
