Facial Feminization

What is Facial Feminization?

Enjoy softer angles, smoother contours, and a more feminine facial structure. We offer a range of facial contouring procedures to help you achieve your ideal appearance. This includes surgical procedures such as nasal refinement, eyebrow lifting, and cheek, chin, and jaw bone reduction. You may also opt for non-invasive treatments, including lip augmentation, facial fillers, and eyelash enhancement.

Meet with Dr. Rogers to discuss your vision. He works with you to design a custom strategy for facial feminization built through a combination of the above procedures. As with all cosmetic procedures and treatments, results may vary depending on the individual patient’s physiology and healing abilities.

Procedure

The length of a Facial Feminization operation may differ based on the procedures involved, the scale of the surgery, and the approach employed by the surgeon. Usually, the surgery may take multiple hours to finalize.

Recovery

After the surgery, patients may be required to stay in the hospital for one or more nights to observe their healing progress and address any discomfort or pain. In general, significant improvements in facial appearance can be observed within several weeks to several months following the surgery.

Anesthesia

Given that Facial Feminization surgery is a significant surgical operation, it is typically executed under general anesthesia, which results in a state of unconsciousness. This method ensures the patient is entirely pain-free and motionless during the operation.

Nevertheless, not every transgender or non-binary person may require or desire Facial Feminization surgery. It is crucial to consult with a qualified medical professional and carefully weigh the options before making the decision to undergo surgery.
