Gender affirming rhinoplasty is integral to gender-affirming facial surgery, and while
sharing some characteristics with cisgender rhinoplasty, there are particular considerations,
goals, and techniques of which to be aware. This publication will share how these
authors approach feminizing rhinoplasty along with standard operative techniques for
select common feminizing interventions by subsite. Techniques will proceed from cephalic
to caudal and are not exhaustive of the many possible surgical interventions that
are useful in gender-affirming rhinoplasty. Ultimate choice of approach and technique
are chosen to meet the individual goals of each patient.
