Transgender Facial Feminization

The goal of facial feminization surgery is to change the shape of the face to look feminine. The procedure is performed either as single surgery or as multiple procedures to achieve your desired look. There are many techniques used to perform facial feminization surgery, and many factors should be taken into consideration when choosing which options are best suited for each individual.

The Process

1.      Meet with the Dr.

2.      Create a surgical plan that is right for you.

3.      Schedule your surgery.

4.      Get a medical clearance to clear you for surgery.

5.      Schedule your pre-op before surgery.

6.      Take pre-op photos.

7.      Have surgery.

8.      Return to the office for your post-op visit.

Some ways to feminize the face are:

•  Cheekbones: Many transgender women have injections to enhance their cheekbones.

•  Chin: You may opt to soften or more prominently define your chin’s angles.

•   Jaw: A surgeon may shave down your jawbone or use fillers to enhance your jaw.

•   Nose: You may have a rhinoplasty, surgery to reshape the nose.
