What Is Facial Feminization Surgery?
Facial Feminization Surgery (FFS) is a combination of surgical procedures designed to create more feminine facial features and overall facial harmony.
It is often an important step for patients undergoing gender-affirming surgery, but can also be performed as standalone facial surgery.
Facial feminization focuses on modifying facial features that are typically perceived as masculine, such as:
- Forehead shape
- Brow position
- Nose shape
- Jawline and chin
- Cheek volume
- Lip shape
- Hairline position
The goal is not to change identity, but to align facial appearance with gender identity and create facial harmony.
Who Benefits from Facial Feminization Surgery?
Facial feminization surgery may be suitable for patients who:
- ☆ Want more feminine facial features
- ☆ Are undergoing gender-affirming treatment
- ☆ Want improved facial harmony
- ☆ Experience gender dysphoria related to facial appearance
- ☆ Are in good overall health
Treatment plans are highly personalised, as each face and each patient’s goals are different.
Procedures Commonly Included in Facial Feminization Surgery
Facial feminization surgery often combines several procedures, depending on individual needs.
Common procedures include:
- Forehead contouring
- Brow lift
- Rhinoplasty (nose reshaping)
- Cheek augmentation or fat grafting
