Why Facial Feminization Surgeons (FFS) Are Seeing an Increase in Activity

More and more patients are realizing that they will be able to benefit tremendously by having facial feminization surgery performed. As a result, instances of this surgery being performed throughout the country have increased exponentially over the past few years. There are many reasons why each FFS surgeon is receiving more requests than ever for their services.

Boost Self-Esteem of Patients

One of the main reasons why transgender patients or patients who may have had gender reassignment surgery performed approach an FFS surgeon is because they would like to look as feminine as they feel. Many of these patients have also been subject to hurtful comments such as, “there goes a man dressed like a woman,” which is emotionally debilitating for them as well. However, once they have had their chosen FFS procedures performed, they have reported that their self-esteem levels have been improved tremendously.

No Longer Stigma Attached to FFS Surgery

In years gone by, patients who wanted to approach an FFS surgeon would have been severely ridiculed by friends, family and peers because they would have been cruelly classified as being ‘queer’ or different. However, with celebrities like Caitlyn Jenner who have been brave enough to face the world about being transgender and having facial feminization surgery performed, it has opened the doors for more patients to have it done and completely removed the stigma that was once attached to it in the process as well.

Enhance Existing Feminine Features

As women age, many of them find that their facial features are looking less feminine than before, resulting in them being mistaken for being men. Some of the most common complaints that women have as they age include eyebrows that descend and become flatter, cheeks becoming less full or sunken, tapers of the jaw disappearing and jowls appearing under the jaw and on the neck. However, after they have had their chosen procedures performed, many patients noted that their entire personality and outlook on life had improved dramatically.

Tips to Find the Right Surgeon

Facial feminization surgery is a highly specialized field, which is why it is crucial to approach a surgeon who has extensive levels of experience in performing these procedures. It is recommended to obtain referrals from as many existing patients as possible, as this will help determine whether a particular surgeon is the right person for the job. Online reviews are also a great way to determine whether patients have been satisfied with the end result of their FFS procedures, and if there are more negative than positive reviews pertaining to a particular surgeon, it is best to approach someone else.

Patients should also ensure that they only use the services of an FFS surgeon who is board-certified and who has the necessary qualifications to do the job. This will help ensure that they are completely satisfied with the end results of their chosen procedures and that there is little to no chance of complications developing afterwards.
