What is FFS?
What Is Facial Feminization Surgery?
Facial feminization surgery (FFS) is a series of procedures that modify facial features to achieve a more feminine appearance. These procedures address bone structure, soft tissue, and facial proportions to achieve a naturally feminine aesthetic. Dr. Ashu Garg at Top Surgery Art specializes in customizing each FFS treatment to achieve harmonious, beautiful results that align with your vision.
What We Offer

Facial Feminization Options in Beverly Hills
For feminization surgeries, Dr. Garg provides a list of options that can be suggested during a consultation.
Forehead and Brow Bone Reduction
Men generally have foreheads featuring prominent brow ridges and a receding hairline. Forehead feminization reduces brow prominence and smooths forehead contours. This procedure can also be done with a hairline advancement to create a softer, rounder, more feminine forehead.
Rhinoplasty (Nose Feminization)
Women’s noses generally have refined bridges, a smaller overall size, and delicate tips. Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose to achieve these characteristics while maintaining facial harmony and breathing function.
Jaw Contouring and Chin Reshaping
Square, angular jawlines and prominent chins are masculine traits. Through precise bone contouring and reduction techniques, Dr. Garg creates a tapered, oval jawline and a refined chin, enhancing feminine facial aesthetics.
Cheek Enhancement
High, prominent cheekbones are quintessentially feminine features. We offer both surgical cheek augmentation and fat grafting to create fuller, more defined cheeks that add youth and femininity to your face.
Lip Lift and Augmentation
Fuller lips, with a shorter distance between the nose and upper lip, create a more feminine appeal. Lip procedures enhance volume, improve shape, and reduce the upper lip length for a more youthful, feminine appearance.
Tracheal Shave (Adam's Apple Reduction)
A prominent Adam’s apple is a distinctly masculine feature. This procedure carefully reduces thyroid cartilage prominence while preserving voice quality and throat function.
Facial Feminization Results and Recovery Timeline
Results and recovery vary from person to person. You may see your initial results within 2 to 3 weeks as swelling reduces. Full results develop over 6 to 12 months as tissues heal and settle into their new positions. The feminine facial contours achieved through FFS are permanent, providing lifelong alignment with your gender identity.
Recovery Milestones:
- Week 1-2: Initial healing, swelling peaks, then starts reducing
- Week 3-4: Return to light activities, most visible swelling reduces
- Month 2-3: Resume normal activities, continued refinement of results
- Months 6-12: Final results are visible with complete settling of tissues
