Facial Feminization Surgery

Feminizing Facial Surgery

The goal of facial feminization surgery, or feminizing facial surgery, is to transform the masculine features of the face to a more feminine or nonbinary appearance.

Who is a good candidate for facial feminization surgery?

Facial feminization surgery is a highly individualized procedure. You should do it for yourself, not to fulfill someone else's desires or to try to fit any sort of ideal image.

Facial feminization surgery is a good option for you if:

  • You have been diagnosed with persistent gender dysphoria
  • You have been living as a member of your desired sex
  • You are of the age to make consent
  • You have a positive outlook and realistic expectations
  • If significant medical or mental health concerns exist, they must be reasonably well-controlled
