Facial Feminization surgery / FFS / Transgender surgery information

Facial feminization is the process of reducing the masculine appearance of a transgender individual in order to improve their self image. As a board certified cosmetic surgeon your post surgical facial feminization is of the utmost importance to myself and my surgical team.

Continuity of Care

From consultation through surgery and the postoperative course you will be attended by me and my highly experienced and compassionate staff. Continuity of care is essential to patient comfort and safety, and my staff and I are entirely committed to giving you the best surgical experience possible. As your plastic surgeon I am available to you throughout the surgical and postoperative periods for any questions you may have regarding the procedure or your recovery. It is during this close follow-up period where warm relationships with my patients are cemented. As I started my practice I anticipated fairly brief contact with patients due to the nature of surgical practice. I believe that my compassion and true concern for the welfare of my patients has led to wonderful friendships spanning many years. Consider me your private plastic surgeon, taking all the care possible and using all of my surgical talent and artistic abilities to meet and exceed your expectations.

Facial Feminization Surgery

FFS has become increasingly sought after by transsexual women and many feel that it is just as important or even more important for them than sex reassignment surgery (SRS) because it helps them integrate socially as women. While most FFS patients are transsexual women, some non-transsexual women who feel that their faces are too masculine will also undergo FFS. FFS is occasionally sought by cross-dressers and drag queens.
