While it's likely that I might choose to transition (MTF) in the next few years, I am considering to not transition yet. My question is as a male, would I be able to have a facial feminization surgery? Or maybe would I be denied or need a therapist's letter? Also, would there be a noticeable difference in getting FFS pre-transition and after starting HRT?

Answer: FFS for men I see men frequently who come in for parts of what I do in facial feminization such as setting back the brow bone, reducing the Adam's Apple, or making the nose smaller. I don't see a major difference the volume of the tissue int he face after HRT, but skin texture is usually improved. The main thing you would want to consider is whether or not you need anything done to your hairline. If you are not on HRT, it is likely that your hairline will continue to recede and thus making the hairline incision more visible later on. I usually do not make that incision in men unless they are on HRT.
