New book: ‘Facial Feminization for the Transgendered Woman’ by Douglas Ousterhout

   

I just got my preview copy of Facial Feminization Surgery: A Guide for the Transgendered Woman by FFS pioneer Douglas Outserhout. It’s an excellent 185-page overview of available procedures, with many illustrations and images. I highly recommend it for anyone considering these procedures, as it is the definitive consumer guide. It includes an introduction by Donna Rose, who, like me, had life-changing results from these procedures. Both of us are among the many patients who consented to having our results included in the book.

It is scheduled to be available in December 2009 and is already available for pre-order.

Chapters include:

- Overview
- Preparing for FFS
- Scalp advancement
- Forehead feminization
- Temporal fossa augmentation
- Cheek contouring
- Nose reshaping
- Lip reshaping
- Chin reshaping
- Lower jaw tapering -angle reduction
- Thyroid cartilage reduction
- Lower jaw (mandibular) surgery
- Upper jaw (Maxillary) surgery
- Other facial procedures (ten other procedures that can feminize the face)
- Also includes resource lists, glossary, and list of relevant medical publications

As I have said since I had FFS in 1996, it is the best investment I have ever made, period. I strongly urge everyone planning a transition to consider the benefits and potential issues of FFS.

In 1999 I had been working for 19 years as a Richardson, Texas police officer and delaying my transition out of the real likelihood of losing my career. Seeing Andrea’s before-and-after images on this site absolutely riveted me and immediately released the brakes of my fear. On October 31, 2000 I had surgery with Dr. Ousterhout and returned to work the next month as Diana where the smoothness of my transition would have to be at least partially attributed to the fact that I am now completely female in my facial appearance. I have five friends who were his patients and everyone would completely second Andrea’s comments about the potential value of Doug’s skill.
