AI generates counterfactual skulls for facial feminization surgery

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed AutoFFS, a new framework using adversarial deformations to aid in facial feminization surgery planning. This data-driven approach transforms skull morphologies towards a female appearance by targeting sex classifiers. The generated counterfactual skulls offer quantitative guidance for surgeons, with validation through classifier evaluations, new distance metrics (MFD, MKD), and a human perceptual study confirming the desired characteristics.

    AutoFFS: Adversarial Deformations for Facial Feminization Surgery Planning

    arXiv:2603.02288v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Facial feminization surgery (FFS) is a key component of gender affirmation for transgender and gender diverse patients, aiming to reshape craniofacial structures toward a female morphology. Current surgical planning procedures l…
