How Should I Approach Having Facial Feminization Surgery?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I’m a transgender woman 48 y/o. I’m starting the planning process for facial feminization surgery. Any help or information you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

A: In facial reshaping surgery the first thing you need to do is generate a list of your facial shape concerns in the other of their priority to you. In other words what facial features so you see that would benefit you the most in terms of having a more feminine appearing face. Once that is known then imagine can be done to determine how those changes may potentially look.

It is either that approach to the alternative approach is let the surgeon first do it and then see how it looks to you.
