So excited to see our psychosocial outcomes after facial feminization surgery picked up by the news

We are so excited to announce that our paper on psychosocial outcomes after facial feminization surgery was just published ahead of print in Annals of Surgery! This paper was a multi-year effort and part of a larger prospective longitudinal study on the mental health outcomes following facial feminization surgery.  Our major findings were that 7 out of 11 mental health quality of life measures were improved in trangender patients who received gender-affirming facial feminization surgery.  As the literature has been quite deficient in evidence related to quality of life changes following FFS, access to care under health insurance has been a challenge.  We're hoping that this initial work will help!
