Facial Feminization Surgery: A Road Map for Gender Transitioning

Are You Considering Facial Feminization Surgery?

For many transgender women, having their facial features refined has been an important step in their transition, with many considering it the most essential part of their transformation.

If you are transfeminine with a prominent chin, heavy brow, or strong lower jaw that you feel detracts from your femininity, perhaps you would like your appearance to more closely match the way you feel inside.

Plastic surgeons Jordan Deschamps-Braly, M.D. and Douglas K. Ousterhout, M.D., are preeminent surgeons in the field of plastic surgery known as facial feminization surgery (FFS). They specialize in feminizing the craniofacial structure of transgender women. In Facial Feminization, Drs. Deschamps-Braly and Ousterhout discuss the many types of FFS procedures they perform:

Scalp advancement

Chin feminization

Forehead feminization

Lower jaw tapering

Temple augmentation

Thyroid cartilage reduction

Cheek contouring

Lower jaw repositioning

Nose reshaping

Upper jaw repositioning

Upper lip reshaping

Hair transplantation

This comprehensive book contains more than two hundred before- and-after photos of FFS patients.
