Facial Feminization Surgery
Facial feminization surgery (FFS) is a meaningful step toward softening your features and aligning your external appearance with your true gender identity through a more feminine, harmonious face. This procedure isn’t just about changing your appearance—it’s about affirming who you are.
Dr. Henry Chen specializes in various cosmetic techniques that help accomplish that goal, including scalp advancement, brow lifts, forehead contouring, rhinoplasty (nose job), lip lifts, jaw and chin contouring, and tracheal chondroplasty (Adam’s apple reduction).
Each procedure is carefully planned to help you achieve your vision of yourself. Check out the before and after images below to discover how Dr. Chen’s highly customizable FFS procedures have helped patients like you move forward with pride and authenticity.

“Makes you feel like you’re in good hands…and reassures you.”
“The consultation went really good…Dr. Chen really makes you feel like you’re in good hands with the way he speaks to you and reassures you. I asked to look at some before and after photos of previous clients and his results are very outstanding.
I asked him a lot of questions regarding my face and his technique for reconstruction, and he also mentioned some things that I hadn’t thought about, like eyebrow placement after head shaving and fat grafting on the face. On the day of the consultation he scheduled me for an MRI later that month to get a better look at my bone structure.
He seems like a really good doctor, and I’m glad that my insurance referred me to him.”XxVeridia

“He has a method and plan that is informed by trans concerns, which is a big plus for me.”
“I recently had a consult with Dr. Henry Chen for FFS, and I can’t say enough good about how it went…He talked with me for a good 20-30 minutes just [about] my process of transitioning and my decision to pursue FFS.
He came across as really empathetic and understanding, definitely more would be the case from someone who just does FFS as a side thing from their main practice.
He then talked with me about what parts of my face bother me and how to go about fixing them. I felt he did a great job of balancing listening to me while giving his professional insight.
He was really methodical with his approach in terms of describing exactly how each part of the body is perceived in terms of femininity/masculinity. Again, it made me feel like he has a method [and] plan that is informed by trans concerns, which is a big plus for me”SSkulGurl
