Facial Feminization Surgery Spokane
For many trans women and non-binary individuals, facial features can mean the difference between blending in and standing out uncomfortably. Facial feminization surgery (FFS) isn’t just cosmetic, it’s a medical intervention that can reduce misgendering, dysphoria, and even public harassment. Dr. Javad Sajan’s offers facial feminization solutions for Spokane patients that soften masculine cues while preserving what makes your face uniquely yours.
What Is Facial Feminization?
Facial feminization surgery (FFS) is an individualized set of facial plastic‐surgery procedures designed to soften masculinizing features and create a more traditionally feminine contour.
Unlike a facelift, which targets aging, FFS reshapes bone and soft tissue to harmonize the forehead, nose, jaw, and other areas in one coordinated plan.
Common among transgender women but also chosen by cisgender women seeking gentler lines, FFS always involves more than one procedure and can address the entire face or just the features that matter most to you.
Why Choose Facial Feminization?
Facial feminization combines surgical and non-surgical techniques to align your outward appearance with your gender identity. In Seattle, you can complete and recover from multiple procedures at once under a world-recognized surgeon.
Top motivations our Spokane patients share:
- Freedom from daily misgendering and social anxiety
- Reduction or elimination of gender dysphoria symptoms
- Improved personal safety in public and professional settings
- Harmonized facial proportions that still look like “you”
- Option to combine hair transplant, tracheal shave, and soft-tissue work in one OR session
- Faster, consolidated downtime versus staging surgeries months apart
- Access to a clinic that accepts all private insurance and assists with documentation
- Inclusive, LGBTQ-affirming nursing and anesthesia staff
Facial Feminization Procedures for Spokane Patients
Your surgical plan should be as individual as your features. Dr. Sajan hand-picks each technique to soften or strategically reshape the facial areas that matter most to you, ensuring a balanced, authentically feminine look.
A masculine hairline often sits farther back and forms uneven “M-shaped” corners. Dr. Sajan improves both position and contour by removing a strip of skin between the forehead and the existing hairline, then advancing the scalp into a lower, rounded shape. If the thickness at the temples is sparse, he can pair the reduction with follicular-unit grafts so the new outline looks full and natural.
When recession or pattern loss is substantial, a transplant complements or replaces scalp reduction. Donor follicles taken from the permanent hair zone at the back and sides of the head are redistributed along the hairline or other thin areas. Because the hair transplant is performed under local anesthesia, Dr. Sajan routinely combines it with full facial feminization instead of making patients schedule a second trip.
Cis-female brows generally rest slightly higher on the forehead than male brows. A subtle brow lift raises and reshapes the brow line to that feminine position, opening the eyes and softening the upper face without creating an exaggerated arch.
Men typically have a more prominent brow ridge and a flatter forehead slope. Dr. Sajan carefully shaves the projecting bone and, when necessary, removes and resets a segment of bone to reduce frontal-sinus bulk. The result is a smoother, gentler transition from hairline to brows.
Orbital Bone Reduction
Larger, protruding orbital rims can make the eyes look deep-set after brow-ridge work. A light shaving of the upper eye-socket bones balances this area with the newly contoured brow, ensuring the entire upper face reads as cohesive and feminine.
Rhinoplasty
Masculine noses are often wider, longer, or more angular. Feminizing rhinoplasty refines bridge width, reshapes irregularities such as humps, and brings tip size and rotation into harmony with softer facial contours—without compromising breathing function.
A broad, square jaw is one of the clearest male facial markers. Through intra-oral access, Dr. Sajan reduces the width and angles of the mandible and may slim the chin to create a narrower, V-shaped lower face. In some cases, post-surgical filler enhances symmetry once bone has healed.
Women generally have a shorter philtrum and greater visible lip height. A lip lift shortens the space between nose and upper lip, rolling the pink tissue outward for a fuller look. Hyaluronic-acid filler can be added for extra volume or definition, either at the same sitting or later.
The Adam’s apple is unique to people assigned male at birth. Through a small crease under the chin, Dr. Sajan trims the thyroid cartilage so the neck profile appears smooth, all while preserving vocal-cord safety.
Laser Hair Removal
Even with hormones, coarse facial hair may persist. Stand-alone laser sessions target the follicles on the beard, upper lip, and neck to permanently reduce growth, helping surgical results look consistently feminine without daily shaving.
Each of these options can be performed together in a single operative block or staged over time, allowing every patient to tailor treatment to anatomy, safety, and personal goals.

FAQ
What is the average cost for facial feminization for Spokane patients?
Fees vary widely because each plan is customized. A precise, all-inclusive quote is provided after consultation, once your surgical scope and any insurance coverage have been confirmed.
Can you feminize your face without surgery?
Non-surgical options, such as hormone therapy, laser hair removal, injectable fillers, neuromodulators, and skin-resurfacing treatments, can help soften certain features. However, they cannot replicate the structural changes achievable with surgery.
How painful is facial feminization surgery?
The procedure itself is performed under general anesthesia; post-operative discomfort is typically moderate, well-controlled with prescribed analgesics for a few days and over-the-counter medication thereafter.
How long does facial feminization take?
A comprehensive single-session operation typically lasts several hours, whereas a staged approach involves splitting shorter procedures over separate dates, each followed by its own recovery period.
