Abstract

The use of virtual surgical planning (VSP) and three-dimensional printing (3DP) technologies in the routine facial feminization surgery practice has gained a significant popularity over the past few years. The clinical applications of them are claimed to improve safety, accuracy, and efficiency of facial feminization surgeries. In this article, we review and discuss the current applications of VSP and 3DP in different facial feminization procedures.
