Abstract: The decrease in stigmas surrounding the LGBTQI+ population has made this population increasingly active in the search for their own physical and psychological health. Many of them seek surgical procedures to achieve congruence between their physical appearance and their identity. Among them, sexual reassignment surgery has been increasingly sought after by those who need gender affirmation. These methods seek to align gender identity and expression for transgender patients in an effective and safe manner. Thus, synthetic models are needed to enable plastic surgeons to improve their surgical skills for a better approach to the patient.
