The Role of Plastic Surgery in Facial Feminization and Gender-Affirming Care
For many individuals in the transgender and gender-diverse community, facial features play a vital role in how they’re perceived — and how they connect with their authentic selves. Facial Feminization Surgery (FFS) is a key part of gender-affirming care, helping align one’s outer appearance with their inner identity in a way that feels natural, confident, and true.
At Toronto’s Elements Spa, Dr. Adibfar and his team recognize that gender-affirming procedures are about far more than aesthetics. They represent a deeply personal journey toward self-recognition, confidence, and comfort in one’s own skin. Our approach prioritizes safety, artistry, and respect — ensuring every patient feels seen and supported.
What Facial Feminization Surgery Involves
Facial Feminization Surgery is a highly customized combination of surgical techniques designed to soften masculine features and enhance traditionally feminine facial characteristics. Each procedure is tailored to the individual’s anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Common procedures include:
- Forehead contouring and brow lift – To reduce brow/forehead prominence and create a smoother, more feminine contour.
- Rhinoplasty – To refine and soften the nasal profile while maintaining harmony with other facial features.
- Cheek augmentation – To add fullness and balance to the midface.
- Jaw and chin contouring – To create a softer, more tapered lower face.
- Tracheal shave (Adam’s apple reduction) – To minimize the prominence of the thyroid cartilage.
Depending on your needs, other complementary procedures — such as lip lift, hairline advancement, or facelift — may also be considered as part of a comprehensive plan.
The Emotional Impact of Gender-Affirming Surgery
For many patients, facial feminization is not just about aesthetics; it’s about identity. Achieving facial harmony that aligns with one’s gender identity can reduce dysphoria, ease social interactions, and improve mental well-being.
At Elements Spa, we understand the significance of these procedures in our patients’ lives. Dr. Adibfar approaches each case with sensitivity, compassion, and a deep understanding of facial anatomy to deliver results that look both natural and affirming.
Our goal is always to help you feel like yourself — confident, authentic, and empowered.
