Facial feminization surgery (FFS) is a set of cosmetic surgical procedures that alter typically male facial features to bring them closer in shape and size to typical female facial features. FFS can include various bony and soft tissue procedures such as brow lift, rhinoplasty, cheek implantation, and lip augmentation.
Facial feminization surgery encompasses a broad range of procedures to change masculine facial features into feminine features. Examples include having your hairline moved to create a smaller forehead, having your lips and cheekbones augmented, or having your jaw and chin reshaped and resized. You also might need skin-tightening surgery, such as a face-lift.
Facial feminization surgery might be done as a step in the process of treating distress due to a difference between experienced or expressed gender and sex assigned at birth (gender dysphoria). The techniques can help transgender women transition physically to their self-affirmed gender.
Why it’s done
Many facial features, such as the eyes, jaw and brow, reflect gender differences. While other body parts can be covered or hidden, facial features are readily seen. For 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. Being seen as women can also help transgender women avoid harassment and discrimination.
Many women have facial features that are more typical of their masculine counterparts. Thus, they desire softer, more feminine features. Facial feminisation surgery (FFS) helps them meet this goal.
