Yes, MTF (male-to-female) individuals can undergo facial feminization surgery (FFS) without undergoing hormone therapy or other surgeries. FFS is a collection of surgical procedures that are specifically designed to alter facial features and create a more feminine appearance.

While hormone therapy is often a part of the overall transition process for many MTF individuals, it is not a requirement for undergoing FFS. Some individuals may opt for FFS as their primary or initial step in their transition, while others may choose to undergo FFS later in their transition journey or as a standalone procedure.

Similarly, FFS can be performed without other surgeries such as gender confirmation surgery (vaginoplasty or breast augmentation, for example). The decision to undergo FFS without hormone therapy or other surgeries is a personal one and can depend on individual circumstances, preferences, and goals.

It’s important to consult with a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon who specializes in transgender healthcare. They can assess your facial features, discuss your goals and expectations, and recommend the most appropriate procedures to achieve your desired feminine appearance. They will consider your overall health, existing facial features, and other factors to create a personalized treatment plan for you.

Yes, MTF individuals can undergo facial feminization surgery without hormone therapy or other surgeries. However, it is important to note that the results of facial feminization surgery may be less dramatic if it is not done in conjunction with hormone therapy or other surgeries.

Here are some of the factors that can affect the results of facial feminization surgery without hormone therapy or other surgeries:

  • The individual’s age and genetics. The individual’s age and genetics can affect the results of facial feminization surgery. For example, younger individuals may be more likely to see dramatic results than older individuals.
  • The surgeon’s experience. The surgeon’s experience is also important. A surgeon who is experienced in facial feminization surgery is more likely to be able to achieve the desired results.
  • The individual’s expectations. It is important to have realistic expectations about the results of facial feminization surgery. The surgery cannot completely change the individual’s facial features, but it can help to feminize the face.

If you are an MTF individual who is considering facial feminization surgery, it is important to talk to your doctor about the potential risks and benefits. Your doctor can help you to understand what to expect and can help you to find a surgeon who is right for you.
