Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video covers facial feminization surgery, focusing on jawline reshaping. Using preoperative virtual planning based on 3D CT scans, the surgery involves mandibular angle reduction and jawline reshaping via bone excision and contouring. Techniques include inferior border resection and genoplasty narrowing by removing a bone wedge. Custom plates and screw fixations aid in maintaining the new structure. Occlusal cutting guides assist in the process, and several steps ensure precise cutting and trimming. The video discusses how these procedures help achieve a feminine appearance, which is particularly significant for transgender women seeking facial feminization.
