This is the second part of the 'Updates in' series by the RSM Oral and Maxillofacial Section. These webinars will be a deep dive into different sections of Maxillofacial surgery to find out what's new. 

Female feminisation surgery is a niche area within maxillofacial surgery which is generally poorly understood. But it is also an area that is growing within the population by approximately 10-15% each year. 

This webinar will explore the differences between the male and female face and experts will share techniques for feminising the face. Participants will be able to describe the history of female feminisation surgery and gain key insight into this specialty area of maxillofacial surgery. 

During this webinar you will:

  • Be able to describe the patient pathway
  • Understand male and female facial characteristics with respect to the facial thirds
  • Describe techniques available for feminisation and discuss possible complications
  • Review cases and suggest appropriate techniques to feminise the face

This webinar is ideal for those with an interest in facial feminisation surgery, the oral and maxillofacial specialty, or anyone who is interested in this particular topic looking to explore the options further.

A certificate of attendance and CPD certificate with 1 CPD credit(s) per webinar of this series will be issued to those joining the webinars live. Certificates of attendance for CPD will be automatically issued after 7 days, but only where a delegate watches the webinar live in its entirety.
