Affirm Your Identity with Expert Facial Harmonization Surgery
Facial Feminization Surgery (FFS) involves a series of highly specialized procedures designed to soften masculine facial features and create a more traditionally feminine appearance. For many trans women and gender-diverse individuals, FFS is an important part of aligning physical appearance with gender identity. At Channel Islands Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery in Camarillo, we provide advanced, compassionate, and individualized FFS treatment that supports both physical and emotional transformation.
Our surgeons apply a deep understanding of facial anatomy, aesthetics, and craniofacial balance to create natural-looking results tailored to your unique features and goals.
What Procedures Are Included in Facial Feminization Surgery?
Each FFS treatment plan is highly personalized. Depending on your facial structure and goals, your surgery may include one or more of the following:
- Forehead contouring to reduce brow prominence
- Orbital rim reshaping to soften the appearance around the eyes
- Rhinoplasty (nose surgery) for feminine nasal proportions
- Chin and jaw contouring to narrow and refine facial shape
- Tracheal shave to reduce the Adam’s apple
- Cheek augmentation using implants or fat grafting
- Lip lift or reshaping for enhanced femininity
Many patients also explore non-surgical options like facial fillers or Botox to complement surgical changes.
Advanced Planning with 3D Imaging and Digital Scans
Precision begins with planning. We use advanced diagnostic tools such as digital scanning and CBCT imaging to map bone structure and simulate changes in facial shape. This allows for:
- Safer, more accurate surgical execution
- Customized treatment plans
- Predictable outcomes with detailed measurements
We also review your medical and surgical history, current medications, and any previous facial procedures to ensure your safety.
In-House Sedation and Comfort-Focused Care
Facial feminization procedures are typically performed under general or IV sedation. At our Camarillo practice, you can feel confident in your safety and comfort throughout the process.
We offer:
- IV Sedation for deeply relaxed, fully monitored surgical care
- Nitrous Oxide Sedation for lighter procedures or pre-op anxiety
Post-operative support includes detailed instructions, medication management, and follow-ups to ensure proper healing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the typical recovery time for FFS?
Most patients require 2 to 3 weeks of downtime depending on the number and extent of procedures. Swelling may continue to resolve over several months. We recommend planning for rest, limited activity, and follow-up care during this period.
Does insurance cover Facial Feminization Surgery?
Some insurance plans cover FFS if it’s deemed medically necessary. We recommend contacting your provider in advance. Our team can assist with documentation and referrals as needed.
Can I combine multiple procedures into one surgery?
Yes. In fact, combining procedures can reduce total recovery time and optimize outcomes. This will depend on your health, surgical goals, and treatment plan.
Will I still look like myself after surgery?
Our goal is to refine and feminize—not to erase. FFS at Channel Islands OMS emphasizes natural-looking results that harmonize with your individual features while helping you feel more aligned with your identity.
Is there an age limit for FFS?
Patients must be physically mature and medically cleared for surgery. While most FFS patients are adults, we are experienced in working with patients across age groups, including younger individuals undergoing gender-affirming care with parental support.
