Understanding Transgender FFS Surgery: The Science of Facial Feminization

Wat is gezichtsfeminisatiechirurgie (FFS)?

Gezichtsfeminisatiechirurgie (FFS) is a collection of surgical procedures designed to soften and feminize the facial features of transgender women. Unlike cosmetic surgery, FFS focuses on structural changes that address masculine facial traits, such as a prominent brow ridge, square jawline, or large Adam’s apple.

Why FFS Matters for Transgender Women

Research shows that facial features play a critical role in gender perception. A study published in JAMA Facial Plastic Surgery (2023) found that individuals who underwent FFS reported a 78% increase in gender affirmation en een 65% reduction in gender dysphoria. For many, FFS is not just about aesthetics—it’s about authenticity, confidence, and mental well-being.

Key Differences: FFS vs. Cosmetic Surgery

Core FFS Procedures for Male-to-Female Facial Transformation

FFS is highly customizable, but most transgender women opt for a combination of the following procedures:

1. Forehead Contouring and Brow Reduction

The forehead is one of the most gender-significant areas of the face. Masculine foreheads tend to have a prominent brow ridge and a flatter slope. Forehead contouring involves:

• Type I (Brow Bone Reduction): Shaving down the brow ridge for a softer appearance.
• Type III (Forehead Reconstruction): Reshaping the entire forehead for a more rounded, feminine contour.

2. Neuscorrectie (neuscorrectie)

A feminine nose is typically smaller, narrower, and slightly upturned. Neuscorrectie for FFS focuses on:

• Het verkleinen van de neusbrug.
• Refining the tip for a delicate look.
• Adjusting nostril shape and size.

3. Jaw and Chin Contouring

A square jawline En prominent chin are traditionally masculine features. FFS addresses this through:

• Kaakverkleining: Shaving the jaw angles for a softer, oval shape.
• Kincorrectie: Reducing chin projection and width.

4. Tracheal Shave (Adam’s Apple Reduction)

The Adam’s apple is a highly visible masculine trait. A tracheale scheerbeurt reduces its prominence by:

• Removing excess cartilage.
• Repositioning remaining tissue for a smooth neck contour.

5. Lip Lift and Cheek Augmentation

Feminine faces often feature fuller lips and higher cheekbones. These procedures enhance facial balance:

• Liplift: Shortens the distance between the nose and upper lip for a youthful pout.
• Wangvergroting: Uses implants or vet enten to create defined cheekbones.

Professionele tip:

Always consult a gecertificeerde FFS-specialist to determine which procedures align with your goals. For example, some patients may benefit from facial feminization combined with hormone therapy voor een optimaal resultaat.

Recovery, Risks, and Realistic Expectations After FFS

• 3-6 Months: Final results become visible as swelling subsides.
