Facial feminization surgery is also known as FFS. The term describes a combination of cosmetic procedures designed to modify facial characteristics for a typically feminine result.
Both men and women choose to soften masculinize features with the combination of one or more FFS techniques. The surgery is custom-tailored for each person and can include almost any area of the face and neck. Typical regions to be altered or enhanced with FFS include the jaw, the brow, eye area, nose and cheeks. Neck lift procedures, lip lifts and facial fillers also contribute to overall outcomes.
Choosing your Facial Cosmetic Surgeon will have some baring on your overall costs as geographic location, expertise and demand for your surgeon affect pricing.
Choosing the right expert for you should be based on much more than price. Those who specialize in this area and have in-depth experience will use the most advanced, innovative techniques. They’ll have a collection of excellent before and after results to show. Interviewing past patients and reading reviews is also an excellent way to seek out your expert.
Dr. Phillip Solomon is double board certified and focused on the specialized field of facial cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. He has abundant experience in FFS and excellent examples to show you his work. Patients from across the country travel to Solomon Facial Plastic due to his reputation.
When you visit us for your consultation, Dr. Solomon will meet with you one-on-one. You’ll have a physical assessment and interview to talk about your goals and expectations for the procedure. Dr. Solomon uses computer imaging to help illustrate potential changes and together, you’ll be able to form a plan suited to your needs. Depending on the procedures you choose to combine, your surgical quote for facial feminization will reflect the total cost. We are pleased to work with reputable medical financing companies who help offset the expense of surgery through convenient payment plans.

Whether you’ll be undergoing soft tissue alterations or more significate bone alterations, if you take hormones this will need to be discontinued two weeks before surgery. We typically advise patients to begin again 2 weeks after. All medications or supplements you take will be discussed in detail with your surgeon before the operation, and you’ll be advised about safety or contraindications for these.
You’ll most likely need to take a standard 2 weeks off work. Each individual surgical plan requires personalized instructions, but 2 weeks for the majority of inflammation to heal is typical. During that initial post-op phase, it’s helpful to have extra help on hand for child or pet care and housework.
You should pause a gym membership if you have one, and refrain from strenuous activities or lifting heavy objects for a minimum of 4 weeks. You can take charge of your own, optimal healing once at home by avoiding blood pressure increases or placing any strain on the treatment area.
Incisions will be well-hidden wherever possible and should be closed within a couple of weeks. You’ll return to the clinic once or twice in the early phase to ensure you’re on track and remove sutures. We provide direct contact information for your surgeon post-procedure, and we’re here to guide you any time you need during recovery. By 6 months post op, most people can enjoy their final results with swelling resolved and scars faded. Ongoing sun protection is always advised to keep the skin looking young and healthy while ensuring scars stay faint and discrete.

Kathy Ellis2024-12-16 I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Solomon, and couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. From the first consultation, Dr. Solomon’s expertise and professionalism put me at ease. He guided me every step of the way, ensuring that I understood the process and felt comfortable. The outcome exceeded my expectations, as I now look like a fresher, younger version of myself. Dr. Solomon’s attention to detail and skill truly enhanced my natural beauty. I feel more confident and rejuvenated than ever. I must also recognize two of his amazing staff, Nurse Maddie and Nurse Nancy who were kind, attentive, responsive and always available when I reached out to them. Thank you Dr. Solomon, for giving me a renewed sense of self! Vanessa Gray2024-12-06 I am exactly one week out from my deep plane facelift surgery. I am healing so quickly and the results are already so amazing. Dr. Philip Solomon is not only a skilled surgeon but an artist. I travelled all the way from Vancouver and have no regrets. Thank you Dr. Solomon, Nancie, and the rest of your team! L J2024-12-06 Dr Solomon and his team have been exceptional. Ive always felt self conscious about the droopiness of my nose tip, but from the first consultation, Dr Solomon put me at ease with his excellent bedside manner and willingness to answer all my questions. After surgery, a nurse called me to check in, and my recovery process has been quite smooth. Now at 8 weeks post op I feel a newfound confidence every time I look in the mirror. Nancy has also been incredibly supportive, patiently answering questions and providing reassurance as I continue to navigate some post-op swelling (which is expected). Incredible experience and I’m so grateful to the entire team! Jen Muller2024-12-05 I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Solomon. A few years ago, I had rhinoseptoplasty for a deviated septum and a nostril that seemed to be collapsing. Since the surgery, I have been able to breathe much better. I then developed a cyst deep under the layers of my skin beside my nose. It took three years of meeting with various experts to try to figure out what was going on and how to remove it without scarring. Apparently this type of cyst is very rare. It took a long time, waiting for ultrasounds and CT scans. Dr. Solomon helped me through this entire process and was able to remove it from the inside of my nose without scarring. I cannot express enough of my appreciation for the removal of the cyst. It was causing a lot of issues for me with swelling that was unpredictable and distressing. It is a big decision to consider surgery and it’s important to research who you choose to work with, I would feel confident in your choice if you choose to work with Dr. Solomon. Susan Khamassi2024-12-03 I had rhinoplasty with Dr. Solomon. I was very nervous for years to do it because I wanted to still look natural. During my consult he listened to everything I wanted and now after 5 months post surgery I am beyond happy with the results. He is very skilled and would recommend him 1000 percent ! Thank you again ! R Karabassis2024-12-02 Dr. Solomon is great! Makes you feel comfortable and is also good with his aftercare and post procedure check ups. Results are amazing! Irene Karabassis2024-12-02 Dr. Solomon is amazing! He makes you feel comfortable and always addresses any of your concerns. Results are beautiful and natural! Anna Kayden2024-12-02 I’ve had two surgeries with Dr. Solomon and couldn’t be happier with the results. He’s an incredibly skilled and knowledgeable surgeon whose judgment I trust completely. Dr. Solomon provides honest, realistic feedback and never overpromises the degree of results, which I deeply appreciate. His clinical team is outstanding—they create a safe, welcoming environment every step of the way. I wouldn’t hesitate to return for future procedures if needed. Devina Dasilva2024-10-29 It was a blessing in disguise that your receptionists treated me so poorly which led me to go elsewhere. I Thank the Lord each day for not having Dr. Solomon touch my nose and perform surgery. My nose is in the utmost pristine condition and it's only because of the Lord. What a huge blessing to find an amazing surgeon elsewhere. A big Thank You to all the receptionists who were absolutely rude towards me. Had it not been for your ridiculous behaviour - I might have walked out with a botched nose job. Tina S2024-10-25 Dr. Solomon did a top notch job on my revision rhinoplasty. I am truly amazed at the results - they are even better than what I had hoped for. Even with the issues with my nose, he fixed the issues completely and made adjustments as-needed for a stunning result. And did it all "closed". Quite incredible. I'm still amazed. Prior to surgery (consultation phase), Dr. Solomon answered my many, many questions without hesitation - bc of my experience with a previous surgeon, I was quite nervous and asked many questions. He was very patient with me. The entire team was exceedingly professional - even his operative support team. 5 stars for them too. As a side note, I researched Toronto plastic surgeons for months before landing on Dr. Solomon. I've also since learned that he has an excellent reputation not just among patients, but within the medical community. I recommend Dr. Solomon wholeheartedly.
