Facial feminization surgery includes the following steps:
Step 1 – Anesthesia
Medications are administered for your comfort during the surgical procedure. The choices include intravenous sedation and general anesthesia. Your doctor will recommend the best choice for you.
Step 2 – Surgical procedure
There are many procedures that can be performed to give the face a more feminine appearance. The requirements of each person will vary to obtain optimal results.
