Introduction:
Facial Surgery for Gender Transition
The face holds many clues to who we are – our race, age, and gender. Both the male and female sexes have their own unique facial traits that naturally give off either a more masculine or a more feminine appearance. While facial surgery only makes up part of a patient’s transition, it’s an extremely important aspect that can ultimately impact how gender is identified.

Highly customizable facial procedures with multiple options

Natural-looking outcomes personalized to each patient
Dr. Zuliani’s unique knowledge of facial aesthetics and how they relate to gender can help you during this transition. For facial feminization, certain masculine markers are removed to soften the face. A reduction of the chin and nose, a smoothing of the cheeks, and changes to the eyes may be recommended. On the other hand, a more masculine look can be achieved with a more chiseled jawline and stronger facial structure. Dr. Zuliani will work closely with you and discuss your goals to develop a highly personalized plan for your surgery.
Dr. Zuliani’s focus on the individual is why patients trust him
He pays careful attention to each patient, taking the necessary time to assess the situation and ask questions during the consultation. Dr. Zuliani does not come up with a standardized treatment plan on the spot. Instead, he considers the best approach in each special situation, studies photos of the patient, designs a personalized plan, and only then presents his recommendations.
Dr. Zuliani also has a keen understanding of the differences among patients of different cultural backgrounds. He knows how to treat the face in a way that complements a patient’s individuality rather than changing it. His goal is to provide each of his patients with results that are in tune with his or her unique lifestyle, culture, and identity.

What can be expected after Transgender Surgery?
Recovery following facial transgender surgery is completely reliant upon the magnitude and the number of procedures undertaken. With most facial operations, bruising and swelling will start to fade within two weeks, with a full recovery coming in one month to a year. Patients often return to work and a normal routine within 7-14 days, although vigorous activity should be still be avoided until otherwise advised.
You’ll begin to notice the results of your facial surgery after the swelling and bruising subsides, usually within a few weeks. At that time, your new facial contours will be visible and you may feel comfortable out in public again. Everyone experiences their recovery differently and it still may take several months for all of the post-surgery side effects to fully resolve.
