Female Feminization Surgery has become very common amongst the transgender population as many now choose to seek plastic surgery to have their physical appearance better reflect their inner self. In sharing her story, Caitlyn Jenner shed light on just what can be achieved with plastic surgery and perhaps gave others confidence to make these changes for themselves. In fact, Female Feminization Surgery is often sought out prior to gender reassignment surgery so that transgender females can feel more confident in their appearance as well as more socially accepted as a female.

The nose being the most central feature of the face can also make a dramatic difference to the male face. By reducing the width and length of the nasal bridge and by reshaping, lifting and refining the nasal tip, a male face can often look more female with rhinoplasty surgery alone. In fact, it’s quite common for rhinoplasty to be the initial Female Feminization Surgery for the transgender female. Some transitioning patients choose to have this surgery alone due to the significant visible impact a rhinoplasty can have, while others may choose to combine this surgery with two or three other surgeries so that they achieve a more impactful result.

While rhinoplasty is the most popular procedure, other common transgender surgeries include Brow Reduction, Brow Lift, Adam’s Apple Reduction, Cheek Augmentation, Lip Lift, Chin Reduction or Jaw Contouring. Depending on ones’ needs, typically, male patients transitioning to female will choose more than one surgery combined with rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty, Brow Reduction and Adam’s Apple Reduction (Laryngeal Shave) are often the first 3 “go-to” surgeries due to the prominence of these male characteristics. Quite often, patients will then proceed to seek further refinement to their face with a Cheek Augmentation or Lip Augmentation.
