What is Facial Feminization?

Facial feminization consists of a combination of cosmetic procedures that can provide a younger and more feminine appearance. While these procedures are often sought out by transgender women, facial feminization is also for any woman who is looking to enhance their femininity and overall appearance.

Some of the facial feminization procedures Dr. Hassanzadeh offers include forehead contouring or cranioplasty, hairline lowering, brow lift, rhinoplasty, lip lift and augmentation, cheek implants, fat grafting, Adam’s apple reduction, and facelift.

Patient Testimonial

Incisionless Otoplasty, Xeomin

Dr. H is an exceptional physician! I visited her for Xeomin injections and a consultation for Otoplasty (ear pinning surgery). She was professional, warm, and attentive, answering all my questions and ensuring I felt at ease. I wanted a “frozen but natural” look, and she guided me through my concerns without any pressure. The injections were quick and painless, and the results were exactly what I hoped for. As for the Otoplasty, I had avoided it my entire life (I’m 39) because surgery felt too invasive. Dr. H introduced me to an incision-less option, and I immediately signed up. The procedure was done in the clinic with only a numbing injection—I felt nothing! I couldn’t be happier with the results and am so grateful to have found such a skilled and compassionate surgeon.

Benefits of Facial Feminization

With Dr. Hassanzadeh and facial feminization procedures, you can look forward to a variety of benefits, including the following:

  • Gender affirmation: Facial feminization can help your facial appearance better align with your gender identity, ensuring you feel like your true self.
  • Boost in confidence: Many patients who have had facial feminization surgery notice an increase in confidence. When you like what you see in the mirror, you feel more confident to take on the world.
  • Custom results: Dr. Hassanzadeh will customize your facial feminization to meet your needs.
  • Younger-looking appearance: A more feminine face also means a younger-looking face, so you can also look forward to a younger appearance when you have these procedures.

The Facial Feminization Procedure

What you can expect during your facial feminization surgery depends on the type of procedures you’re having done. In most cases, general or local anesthesia will be administered to ensure you’re comfortable throughout your surgery. From there, Dr. Hassanzadeh will make the necessary incisions and adjustments to give you the results you’re looking for. Depending on the procedure, she may lift your brows, advance your hairline, smooth lines and wrinkles, address sagging skin, take down a bump over the forehead or on the nose, and/or increase the fullness of the lips.

Facial Feminization Recovery

Your recovery and how long it takes will depend on the type of facial feminization surgery you have done. In most cases, you will likely have swelling and bruising, but Dr. Hassanzadeh will give you a detailed list of aftercare instructions to ensure your recovery goes as smoothly as possible. Most patients resume gentle activity the day of surgery, and some return to work within a few days or a week after their procedure.

Who is a Candidate?

Ideal candidates for facial feminization surgery are individuals in generally good health, nonsmokers, those with realistic expectations of surgery, and anyone looking to achieve a more feminine appearance. For transgender women, hormone therapy is typically recommended prior to considering surgery.
