Resumo: Individuals who are characterized by strong and persistent identification with the opposite sex (gender dysphoria) often seek plastic surgeons for sex reassignment and/or to accentuate gender-specific facial features, surgically modifying facial features, wishing to be accepted in society as part of antagonistic sex. Surgical procedures aimed at modifying and reconstructing facial bone characteristics, as well as soft tissues, are being performed to make the face of trans women more feminine (facial feminization surgery) and trans men more masculine (facial masculinization). These procedures may have forensic consequences, due to difficulties in estimating the sex, with regard to the possible need for recognition of the individual through Forensic Facial Reconstruction, and consequently, in identifying people who have undergone this type of surgery. Such consequences, although important, are little considered in scientific studies. Thus, this study brings a theoretical and reflective approach to forensic aspects and considerations in human recognition and identification of transsexual individuals who underwent feminization to masculinization facial surgeries.

Se están realizando procedimientos quirúrgicos destinados a modificar y reconstruir las características óseas faciales, así como los tejidos blandos, para hacer que los rostros de las mujeres trans sean más femeninos (cirugía de feminización facial) y de los hombres trans más masculinos (masculinización facial). Estos procedimientos pueden tener consecuencias forenses, debido a las dificultades en la estimación del sexo, en cuanto a la necesidad de reconocimiento del individuo a través de la Reconstrucción Facial Forense, y en consecuencia, identificar a las personas sometidas a este tipo de cirugía. Tales consecuencias, aunque importantes, son poco consideradas en los estudios científicos. Así, este estudio aporta un acercamiento teórico y reflexivo a los aspectos y consideraciones forenses en el reconocimiento e identificación humanos de las personas transexuales sometidas a cirugías de feminización y masculinización facial.Indivíduos que se caracterizam por identificação forte e persistente com o sexo oposto (disforia de gênero) frequentemente procuram cirurgiões para se submeterem a cirurgia de redesignação sexual e/ou para acentuar características faciais específicas de gênero, modificando cirurgicamente as características da face, na busca de serem aceitos na sociedade como parte do sexo antagônico. Os procedimentos cirúrgicos que têm como objetivo modificar e reconstruir as características ósseas faciais, tal como dos tecidos moles, estão sendo realizados para tornar os rostos de mulheres trans mais femininos (cirurgia de feminização facial) e de homens trans mais masculinos (masculinização facial). Estes procedimentos podem trazer consequências forenses, devido a dificuldades na estimativa do sexo, no que diz respeito à necessidade de reconhecimento do indivíduo por meio de Reconstrução Facial Forense, e consequentemente, em identificar pessoas submetidas a esse tipo de cirurgia. Tais consequências, embora importantes, são pouco consideradas em estudos científicos. Com isso, este estudo traz uma abordagem teórica e reflexiva sobre os aspectos e considerações forenses no reconhecimento e identificação humana, de indivíduos transexuais submetidos a cirurgias de feminização e de masculinização facial.Research, Society and Development2021-10-10info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/2087710.33448/rsd-v10i13.20877Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 No. 13; e201101320877Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 Núm. 13; e201101320877Research, Society and Development; v. 10 n. 13; e2011013208772525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/20877/18808Copyright (c) 2021 Franciéllen de Barros; Mônica da Costa Serra; Barbara Kuhnen; Clemente Maia da Silva Fernandeshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBarros, Franciéllen de Serra, Mônica da CostaKuhnen, BarbaraFernandes, Clemente Maia da Silva2021-11-21T18:26:28Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/20877Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:40:23.744991Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false
