Facial feminization surgery (FFS) includes surgical procedures that alter the face to create more classically feminine characteristics, such as a higher brow, a more refined feminine nose, less pronounced Adam’s apple, and others. For the transgender woman, facial feminization greatly enhances the socialization process as a woman.
