Can cisgender women get facial feminization surgery?
Yes, cisgender women can get facial feminization surgery (FFS). Although there are some components of facial feminization surgery, such as a tracheal shave, that are generally not performed on cisgender women, there are many facial feminization procedures that can further define the features of a cisgender woman. These procedures are helpful for both women who were assigned male and birth and women who were assigned female at birth.
