It might be challenging for many to articulate the distinctions between feminine and masculine facial features. Facial feminization surgery aims to gently alter facial structures to convey a softer, more distinctly feminine appearance. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Nicholas K. Howland utilizes a combination of facial plastic surgery techniques to feminize specific facial areas. Common procedures performed as part of facial feminization at Howland Plastic Surgery include facelift, hairline adjustment, jaw reshaping, and rhinoplasty. Schedule a consultation with our Draper, UT team to discuss the look you've been dreaming of.

Before undergoing facial feminization surgery, it's essential to follow the preparatory guidelines provided by Dr. Howland. These guidelines often include reducing or quitting the consumption of alcohol and tobacco, as well as avoiding certain medications that could affect the anesthesia. The surgery itself involves various procedures tailored to the individual's needs with rhinoplasty or nose reshaping being among the most common to enhance feminine features and achieve facial symmetry. Additional procedures might include a facelift, modifications to the hairline, or the removal of buccal fat, depending on the patient's initial facial structure and their specific goals. The extent and combination of procedures vary significantly from one individual to another, and Dr. Howland will outline a personalized treatment plan during consultations. Post-operative follow-up appointments are crucial to monitor the healing process and ensure satisfaction with the outcome.

Facial feminization surgery offers several benefits for individuals seeking to align their physical appearance more closely with their gender identity or to enhance feminine features. This surgical process contributes significantly to personal well-being and self-perception. Some notable advantages of undergoing facial feminization surgery include:

  • Enhanced alignment with gender identity
  • Increased self-esteem and confidence
  • Improved social interactions
  • Professional opportunities
  • Personal comfort
  • Reduced anxiety and depression

I’ve been doing post op Lymphatic Drainage for years and I see a lot of work from different doctors throughout the valley, but Dr.Howland sets the bar high! I’ve had two of your patients in the last month, each with wound vacs, drains, compression boots, etc. What you do after surgery also makes a big difference and I just love seeing a doctors work that not only looks amazing but also knowing that he’s making sure he’s giving you what you need for recovery is so refreshing. Keep being amazing! So while I’ve not personally used Dr. Howland, I can attest to the beautiful work he does and to his care and commitment to his patients. Would highly recommend.

Dr. Howland is wonderful and was an absolute pleasure to work with. I consulted with another 5 star Top plastic surgeon but chose Dr. Howland because he was able to treat everything I wanted in one procedure and did an INCREDIBLE job as well as his warm disposition! I am so grateful. I always wanted a breast reduction and finally am in a size i am so happy with! They look AMAZING! He is very personable, is down to earth and has wonderful bedside manner. This is coming from a nurse! He listened to all of my concerns and took great care me. I don't typically do reviews unless I am compelled however I just had to give him the review that he deserves. These procedures are not a joke and they should be treated in kind. He was great! His staff is wonderful and responsive and there around the clock if you need them. I would recommend him 1000x over!
