Understanding Gender Affirming Surgeries
Genital Surgery

Vaginoplasty-creating an artificial vagina for trans women
Phalloplasty-this procedure is done to construct a fully functional neophallus for the non-binary and trans men assigned female at birth.
Facial Feminization Surgery
Patients who usually seek medical assistance are usually those who are in the LGBTQ+ community, and some of these procedures include genital surgery, but let us start by defining facial feminization surgery.FFS, or Facial feminization surgery, is a specialized procedure designed to enhance and define feminine facial features for the LGBTQ+ community. This procedure is done so that one can express their sense of internal identity. The facial feminization procedure can help modify a wide range of facial features from cheek and jaws to hairline. This procedure aims to give the face a more feminine touch than Facial Masculinization Surgery, which tends to give the face a masculine look.
Some Common FFS Procedures
- Adam’s apple reduction is done to remove excess cartilage, giving you a more feminine look. It is sometimes called the tracheal shave.
- A lip lift procedure makes lips fuller, and an incision is done at the top lift. Slim lip fillers help this procedure, too, by boosting the height of the top lip.
- Chin reduction is also called genioplasty; this procedure reduces the size and corrects the shape of the chin, giving it a more oval shape.
Facial Masculinization Surgery
Transgender, non-binary or gender non-conforming patients seek medical assistance, and some of these procedures include facial masculinization surgery(FMS). This surgery is a specialized procedure designed to enhance and define masculine facial features for transgender, nonbinary, gender non-conforming patients. This procedure is done so that one can express their sense of internal identity.
The facial masculinization procedure can help modify three parts of the face: the lower third, middle third, and upper third. This procedure aims to give the face a more masculine touch. One can enhance several features through facial masculinization, including rhinoplasty, brow bone and hairline augmentation, chin augmentation, and buccal fat removal.
Some Common FMS Procedures
Rhinoplasty: This cosmetic surgery changes the shape and size of the nose. This augmentation diminishes the size of the nose bridge, helping the patient achieve a more symmetrical nose.
Chin augmentation: This is similar to jaw augmentation, but it focuses more on the shape and size of the chin.
Jaw augmentation and contouring: patients can have their jaw augmented before inserting implants. Jaw augmentation solely aims to define the jawline or mandibular.
Transgender surgeries are one of the most personal and transformative gender-affirming surgeries that can be a climax in one’s well-being because it does not only change one’s body or physical appearance, but it can also change one’s mental or emotional well-being. Hence, it is crucial to seek professional help when undergoing this process.
