Facial Feminization Surgeons
Choosing the right surgeon for facial feminization surgery (FFS) is an important part of your gender-affirming journey. This page highlights specialists in gender-affirming facial surgery to help you compare approaches and make informed decisions.
Facial feminization surgery (also called gender-affirming facial surgery) reshapes masculine facial features to create a more traditionally feminine appearance. Depending on your goals, it may include forehead contouring, rhinoplasty, jaw and chin reshaping, tracheal shave, hairline advancement, or other procedures that bring facial balance and harmony.
Because many aspects of FFS involve bone contouring, surgeons with training in craniofacial or maxillofacial surgery are often best suited for complex bone work such as forehead reconstruction, jaw contouring, and chin reshaping. Their expertise in facial structure allows for precise, natural results.
The specialists listed below are qualified plastic, craniofacial, and maxillofacial surgeons with extensive experience performing facial feminization surgery for transgender and transfeminine individuals. Review each profile, schedule consultations, and choose the surgical team that feels like the best fit for you.
