Who Qualifies for Facial Feminization?

Generally, individuals who may be interested in facial feminization surgery are those who are seeking to change their facial appearance to align with their gender identity. This may include transgender women, non-binary individuals, and gender non-conforming individuals. However, not all transgender or non-binary individuals may desire or need facial feminization surgery.

The decision to undergo facial feminization surgery should be made after careful consideration and consultation with a qualified medical professional. It is important to note that there are no set criteria for who qualifies for facial feminization surgery. Each individual’s situation is unique, and the decision to undergo surgery should be made on a case-by-case basis.

The Day of Your Procedure

Facial feminization surgery is a major surgical procedure, and as such, it is typically performed under general anesthesia. This means you’ll be asleep throughout your procedure and won’t feel a thing as Dr. Rogers performs his work.

The duration of your facial feminization procedure will vary depending on the specific procedures being performed, the extent of the surgery, and the technique Dr. Rogers uses. Typically, the procedure can take several hours to complete.

As part of your preoperative consultation, Dr. Rogers will give you a clear idea of his surgical techniques and everything you can expect to experience on the day of your procedure, along with a detailed understanding of what you can expect from the recovery process.
