Face surgery includes a range of gender-affirming procedures that can support feminizing or masculinizing embodiment goals. At Align Surgical Associates, we offer both comprehensive surgical approaches and more focused treatment plans.

What Is Facial Surgery?

Facial surgery includes procedures that reshape or refine features of the face and neck. Some patients may be looking for a single focused procedure, while others may be exploring a more involved plan that addresses multiple areas.

Facial Surgery Procedures

Your facial surgery options at Align may include:

Some surgeons "offer" gender-affirming surgery among many other services. For Align, it's the center of our life's work. Our 6 board-certified surgeons have committed themselves wholly to gender-affirming care and research. This means we aren't just helping patients reach their embodiment goals; we are helping to make their care better—better understood, better supported, and performed in the best way possible.
