Abstract

Purpose: Facial feminization surgery (FFS) is associated with improved psychological outcomes in transgender patients. We aimed to evaluate the impact of FFS on patient satisfaction with facial appearance using validated, patient-reported outcome tools. Methods: Patients were recruited to complete a FACE-Q survey at least 6 months after their FFS. FACE-Q modules used included "Satisfaction with Facial Appearance Overall," "Facial Attributes" (forehead/eyebrows, nose, cheeks, cheekbone, chin, jawline, and neck), "Decision," "Outcomes," "Psychological Function," and "Social Function." "Satisfaction with Facial Appearance Overall" was compared to FACE-Q outcomes in transgender patients on hormone replacement therapy (HRT), alone. Results: Twenty-three patients completed the survey. Rhinoplasty was the most common procedure (82.6%). Insurance was rated as a major barrier in 50% of patients. "Satisfaction with Facial Appearance Overall" using the FACE-Q was 69.3, with "Psychological Function" rated at 73.7 and "Social Function" rated at 76.1. FFS was associated with a higher overall satisfaction in facial appearance compared to patients on HRT for 3 months (69.3 vs. 48.5, p<0.01) and 12 months, alone (69.3 vs. 54.4, p<0.001). Wait time for FFS of less than a year (β=−20.4, p=0.04) and undergoing FFS at a younger age (β=−1.4, p<0.001) were independently associated with higher satisfaction scores in overall facial appearance. Conclusions: FFS is associated with greater satisfaction with overall facial appearance, especially compared to transgender patients only on HRT. Insurance was the greatest barrier to receiving FFS. Improved access to surgery is needed to yield higher overall satisfaction with facial appearance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Study Design: This study serves as a nationally representative retrospective cohort of U.S emergency department visits related to facial lacerations caused by recreational activities. Objective: The aim of this work is to offer a representative sample of facial laceration and identify the recreational activities associated with the highest risk of such injuries. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of patients reported to the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) which collects information on injuries related to consumer products. Patients were included in our dataset from the time period of 2012 to 2021 if they sustained a facial laceration that was caused by a recreational activity. Results: Our findings reveal 2,383,761 facial lacerations between the study period examined. Young male white adults were more likely to sustain a facial laceration related to recreational activities. Injuries related to exercise equipment were also more likely seen in male patients. The most common cause of facial lacerations was associated with bicycles and basketball. Conclusions: This study found that young white adults are notably prone to facial lacerations, with recreational activities such as bicycling and basketball accounting for the majority of cases. Understanding these statistics is pivotal for implementing targeted strategies to prevent these injuries and their associated consequences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
