Facial feminization surgery
Facial Feminization Surgery (FFS) is a set of reconstructive surgical procedures designed to modify masculine facial features to achieve a more traditionally feminine appearance. This comprehensive approach can include alterations to the forehead, nose, jaw, chin, and other facial structures. FFS is often sought by transgender women and non-binary individuals to align their physical appearance with their gender identity, enhancing both their self-esteem and social comfort. The goal of FFS is to create a harmonious and natural-looking result that reflects the individual’s gender identity.

03. The Facial Feminization Procedure
During the procedure, you may be given anti-anxiety medication to help you relax.
04. Recovery & After Care
After the surgery, you will receive detailed post-operative instructions for a smooth recovery. Patients are advised to avoid interfering with the sutures and to follow a liquid or soft diet for a few days. Dr. Song may prescribe a mouth rinse to reduce the risk of infection. Swelling will subside over several weeks, revealing a slimmer and more contoured facial shape.
