Facial feminization surgery (FFS), defined as the set of procedures used to achieve a more feminine facial appearance to alleviate gender dysphoria, has a long history within plastic and craniofacial surgery and continues to evolve. Key plastic surgeons including Harold Gillies and Douglas Ousterhout contributed significantly to our collective understanding of anatomic differences between male and female skulls—ultimately building the foundational principles and techniques toward feminization. Their methods were rooted in systematic analysis of cephalometric and anthropometric measurements, revealing critical skeletal and orthodontic relationships that distinguishes males from females. The focus on the bony skeleton ultimately translated to modification of the anterior table of the frontal sinus and mandible for feminization of the forehead and jaw, respectively. While precise skeletal manipulation sets the facial structure for feminization, soft tissue maneuvers complete it. Techniques such as brow lift, hairline advancement, rhinoplasty, and lip lift can be performed synergistically to bony modifications for a harmonious feminine facial aesthetic. There is further nuance in conceptualizing which features may be perceived as feminine to some and masculine to others; the inherent subjectivity—particularly with gender-diverse individuals— has contributed to the founding of the gender mosaic and fluidity within the concept of gender. Through the evolution of FFS, we as plastic surgeons have the great opportunity to promote restoration and rehabilitation of our patients’ journey and transition. Our initial consultation serves as the first step toward developing a unique bond of trust and confidence amidst vulnerability and uncertainty. We perform careful anatomical assessment while eliciting particular sources of dysphoria; we design a tailored, individualized surgical plan suited to transgender and gender-diverse individuals. We ensure proper collaboration among primary care, endocrinology, and mental health professionals for appropriate management of medical comorbidities and hormonal therapies. These foundational efforts help launch patients on their paths toward living a life of authenticity in all spheres of life.
