What is facial feminization surgery?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The goal of\u00a0facial feminization surgery<\/strong>, or feminizing facial surgery, is to transform the masculine features of the face to a more feminine or nonbinary appearance. Facial feminization surgery is performed as either a single procedure or as multiple staged procedures. Surgical manipulation of the bone and soft tissues of the face create a feminine appearance. 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.<\/p>\n

Why it’s done<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many facial features, such as the eyes, jaw and brow, reflect sex differences. While other body parts can be covered or hidden, facial features are readily seen. For some transgender people who have a gender identity that differs from the sex assigned to them at birth, altering these characteristics can be essential in their transition.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>How you prepare<\/strong><\/p>\n

Feminizing surgeries are typically deferred until adulthood.<\/p>\n

Before facial feminization surgery, you’ll meet with your surgeon. Consult a surgeon who is board certified and experienced in the procedures.<\/p>\n

Every person has a unique facial structure. Your surgeon will ask you about your own ideas about your face and recommend procedures that will most effectively contribute to the feminization of your face. Your surgeon will also describe your potential results.<\/p>\n

To plan your surgery, you might need a\u00a0CT\u00a0scan. This will allow your surgeon to obtain detailed anatomical information. Also, your face will be photographed before surgery and at several intervals after your surgery.<\/p>\n

The surgeon will refer you for an appointment to discuss your anesthesia. Follow the specific instructions on preparing for your procedures, including guidelines on eating and drinking, adjusting current medications, and quitting smoking. You’ll also receive instructions to follow after your surgery to improve your results.<\/p>\n

In addition, before you can have certain feminizing surgeries, you’ll be required to meet specific criteria. To start, your health will be evaluated to rule out or address any medical conditions that might affect treatment. You’ll also need a letter from a mental health provider stating that you meet World Professional Association of Transgender Health (WPATH) standards of care criteria for facial feminization surgery<\/p>\n
