The Basics

What is Facial Feminization?

Facial feminization surgery is a combination of cosmetic surgical procedures designed to alter masculine facial features into more traditionally feminine ones. Since every face is unique, FFS is highly customized to meet the specific needs of each patient.

Common procedures involved in facial feminization in Long Island may include:

  • Brow bone reduction or contouring
  • Rhinoplasty (nose reshaping)
  • Jaw and chin contouring
  • Tracheal shave (Adam’s apple reduction)
  • Cheek augmentation
  • Lip lift or reshaping

All procedures are performed with careful attention to harmony, proportion, and your personal aesthetic goals.

Who Are the Best Candidates For Facial Feminization?

Facial feminization in Long Island is ideal for transgender women, non-binary individuals, and anyone seeking a more feminine facial appearance. Ideal candidates are those who are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the results.

You may be a good candidate if you:

  • Experience gender dysphoria related to your facial features
  • Are at least 18 years old and emotionally mature
  • Have completed or are stable on hormone therapy (optional but recommended)
  • Do not smoke or are willing to quit
  • Are mentally prepared for surgery and recovery

Our surgeon will work with you to determine which procedures are best suited for your face and goals.

What Are the Benefits of Facial Feminization?

Facial feminization in Long Island offers a variety of benefits that go beyond the physical. Most importantly, it can lead to a more confident and affirming experience in everyday life.

Benefits of this transformative procedure may include:

  • Softer, more traditionally feminine facial features
  • Increased comfort in social and professional settings
  • Better alignment with gender identity
