Answered by Secondmedic Expert

Facial feminization surgery (FFS) is a set of reconstructive surgical procedures designed to align the facial features and characteristics of an individual's face with those considered conventionally feminine. These surgeries can include brow lift, rhinoplasty, chin recontouring, cheek augmentation or reduction, facial liposuction and hairline reconstruction. In addition, FFS can involve reshaping of the ear structure and softening of bony contours including jaw bone reduction or even skull reshaping through forehead masculinization surgery.

The goal of FFS is to help transition individuals to feel more confident living as their true gender identity by creating a more traditionally feminine-looking appearance. The person undergoing this procedure should begin with extensive consultations with a team of surgeons (plastic surgeon, dermatologist etc.) that specialize in this field before beginning any procedure so that all aspects – physical, psychological and emotional – are taken into account for successful outcomes.
