Abstract

BACKGROUND: Male-to-female transgender patients desire to be identified, and treated, as female, in public and social settings. Facial feminization surgery entails a combination of highly visible changes in facial features. To study the effectiveness of facial feminization surgery, we investigated preoperative/postoperative gender-typing using facial recognition neural networks.
