Hormone replacement therapy\u2014sometimes called a chemical transition\u2014can help suppress aspects of the body that present more masculinely and promote a more feminine appearance. For example, excess body and facial hair growth can slow and thin while taking MTF hormone replacement therapy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, not all transgender women find it necessary, easy, or possible to chemically transition. Can you transition without hormones?<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>MTF Transition Without Hormones<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is possible to transition without hormones. Some simply begin outwardly presenting as their true gender while never undergoing any aspect of a medical transition. However, for most people, this will not be adequate due to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/feminizationsurgeries.com\/blog\/how-to-deal-with-mtf-gender-dysphoria\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">gender dysphoria<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Yet, the extent of the gender dysphoria and whether certain aspects of transition are necessary will vary from patient to patient.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A patient who chooses not to transition using hormones chemically may determine that a physical transition via medical procedures is necessary. For example, there are several surgeries and procedures that a transgender woman may undergo to appear more feminine and improve their quality of life. One example is a brow bone reduction surgery female gender affirming procedure that reduces the size and protrusion of the brow bone. This particular surgery can also be part of a larger <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/feminizationsurgeries.com\/procedures\/facial-feminization\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">facial feminization surgery<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other procedures a transgender woman may undergo as part of a physical transition:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Breast augmentation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Body contouring<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brazilian butt lift<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Facial feminization<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rhinoplasty<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brow lift<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lip lift<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hairline feminization<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hair transplant<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jawline contouring<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tracheal shave<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Laser hair removal<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Filler injections<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Patients may also seek out bottom surgery, but Dr. Sajan does not perform nor specialize in bottom surgery.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>The Right Transition For You <\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every patient has a unique gender transition experience. Identifying the procedures right for you can take time and therapy. It may even change over time and as you undergo other transitional procedures. A hormone transition can be started before or after a physical transition, so do not feel pressured to commit to it right away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If a patient is ready to consider a physical transition, Dr. Sajan can help patients determine the procedures they qualify for. He does not push procedures on patients who do not want them, even if they would benefit. Dr. Sajan can discuss each procedure with you and give you an understanding of what each entails.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, some transgender people choose not to transition in anyway beyond socially. This is also perfectly valid and\u2014should a patient change their mind\u2014they can see hormones or physical transition throughout their lifetime. Therefore, hormones are not a necessary part of an MTF transition, but it is one frequently sought out.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Conclusion<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/feminizationsurgeries.com\/meet-dr-sajan\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Javad Sajan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is one of Washington\u2019s leading surgeons who specialize in gender affirming surgery.
