First Consumer Book on Facial Feminization Surgery
Rolls off the Press
Author is Pioneer in the Field

Transgendered women, wishing to achieve more feminine facial features, now have a new resource available to them. Addicus Books has just released Facial Feminization Surgery—A Guide for the Transgendered Woman, the first such book written for consumers.

The author, Douglas K. Ousterhout, M.D., of San Francisco, is the plastic surgeon who pioneered these surgical procedures, having performed his first facial feminization surgery (FFS) procedure in 1983. Since then, he has performed nearly 7,000 FFS procedures. "My most memorable experiences with this community have been helping individuals through the transition to a new gender. What I do—giving people a more feminine face—can alter lives. I have seen the changes in appearance and self-esteem in my patients.

The book, which contains more than two hundred 4-color patient photos and illustrations, is available from AddicusBooks.com.
