G. Nina Lu, MD, and Aria Jafari, MD, share insights in an FPSAM journal commentary on the long-term risks of delayed frontal sinusitis in Facial Feminization Surgery (FFS). FFS, designed to provide a more feminine facial appearance, involves contouring the frontal sinus within the forehead bone. The surgeons stress the importance of surgical precision, particularly in preserving sinus mucosa, to minimize risks. With the rising popularity of FFS, they advocate for thorough, long-term follow-up studies to ensure safety and efficacy in this evolving field of gender-affirming care.
