Lip Feminization: A Review

The review emphasizes the importance of lip feminization in facial feminization for transgender women, highlighting its role in gender expression and identity affirmation. It notes a lack of specific research on lip feminization, with most data derived from broader studies or cisgender populations, and calls for more detailed research to optimize outcomes. Various techniques, including surgical methods like lip lifts and augmentations, and nonsurgical options like injectables, are discussed. Despite high satisfaction rates, personalized approaches are necessary due to individual goals and anatomical differences. The review stresses the importance of consulting certified professionals to ensure safe and effective results, and concludes that precise technique and careful patient selection are crucial for optimal outcomes in lip feminization.
