Yes, MTF (male-to-female) individuals can undergo facial feminization surgery (FFS) without undergoing any other surgeries. FFS is specifically focused on altering the facial features to create a more feminine appearance and can be performed as a standalone procedure.

Facial feminization surgery typically involves a combination of procedures tailored to the individual’s specific needs and goals. These may include forehead contouring, brow lift, rhinoplasty (nose reshaping), jaw reshaping, chin contouring, lip augmentation, cheek augmentation, and other facial procedures. The specific procedures recommended will depend on the individual’s existing facial features and desired outcomes.

Some MTF individuals may choose to undergo FFS as their primary step in their transition, while others may opt for hormone therapy or other surgeries in addition to FFS. The decision to undergo FFS as a standalone procedure or in combination with other surgeries is a personal one and depends on individual preferences, goals, and medical considerations.

It’s important to consult with a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon who specializes in transgender healthcare. They will assess your facial features, discuss your goals and expectations, and recommend the most appropriate procedures to achieve your desired feminine appearance. They can guide you on whether FFS alone is sufficient or if additional surgeries would be beneficial for your overall transition.

MTF individuals can undergo facial feminization surgery (FFS) without any other surgeries, such as hormone therapy or gender-affirming surgery. However, there are a few things to consider before making this decision.

• FFS is a major surgery. It is important to be aware of the risks and complications of FFS before making a decision about whether or not to have the surgery.
• FFS may not be covered by insurance. If you are considering FFS, it is important to check with your insurance company to see if the surgery is covered.
• FFS may not be necessary for everyone. If you are happy with your gender expression and do not experience significant dysphoria related to your facial features, then FFS may not be necessary for you.

Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to undergo FFS is a personal one. You should discuss your options with your doctor and make the decision that is right for you.
