Facial Feminization Surgery in Monterrey, Mexico

WHAT IS FACIAL FEMINIZATION SURGERY?

Softer, More Feminine Contours—Engineered Around Your Anatomy

Facial feminization surgery (FFS) is not one procedure—it is a personalized combination of brow, jaw, chin, and cheek refinements built from your own CT scan. Dr. Hermosillo combines traditional bone reduction techniques (such as brow bossing reduction) with custom PEEK/DMI implants where added volume, projection, or definition is needed, so results look like they were always part of your face.

IS THIS RIGHT FOR YOU?

Signs You May Be a Candidate for FFS

You do not need to check every box below to benefit from facial feminization surgery—most patients relate to two or three of these.

A brow ridge or forehead that feels heavier or more prominent than you'd like
A jawline that reads as more square or angular than your ideal
A chin that feels too broad, tall, or protruding
Previous FFS or facial surgery that did not fully meet your goals
You want permanent results without repeat filler or fat-grafting appointments

WHY CUSTOM IMPLANTS

How Custom Implants Complement Traditional FFS

Millimeter-Precise Fit

Every implant is designed from your own CT scan, so the final shape is built for your unique anatomy, not a generic mold.

One Surgery, Multiple Areas

Brow, jaw, and chin can often be addressed in a single coordinated procedure, reducing total recovery time and cost.

Adds Where Reduction Alone Can't

Implants build volume, projection, and definition in areas that bone reduction alone can't address, working alongside traditional shaving and reshaping techniques as part of one coordinated plan.

HOW THEY WORK TOGETHER

Custom Implants and Traditional Bone Contouring, Combined

Where Custom Implants Help

Add volume, projection & definition to the brow, chin, jaw & cheeks
CT-scan designed to your exact anatomy
Often combined with bone reduction in the same procedure
Can be exchanged or adjusted later
Typically 2–3 weeks initial recovery

Traditional Bone Reduction Techniques

Best for reducing brow bossing, jaw angle & other excess bone
Reshapes and removes bone through burring or osteotomy
Often paired with implants for augmentation in the same plan
Filler alone is temporary (6–18 months) and does not reduce bone
Frequently the foundation step before implant refinement

AREAS WE TREAT

Which Areas Can Be Feminized?

Forehead & Brow

Reducing bossing and softening the brow ridge is often the single change that reads as most feminizing.

Jaw & Chin

Narrowing the jaw angle and refining chin height, width, and projection softens the lower third of the face.

Cheeks

Subtle malar augmentation can restore soft, rounded volume to the midface.

Example: a patient with prominent brow bossing may need only anterior table reduction plus a subtle implant to restore soft convexity above the brow.

RECOVERY TIMELINE

What to Expect, Week by Week

Week 1

Swelling and bruising peak in the first 3–4 days, then begin to subside. Most patients manage discomfort with prescribed medication.

Weeks 2–3

Return to non-strenuous work and social activities. Swelling continues to resolve and initial results become visible.

Weeks 4–6

Most residual swelling resolves. Sensation continues to normalize around the implant sites.

Months 3–6

Final results settle as soft tissue fully adapts to the new bone contours.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Facial Feminization Surgery: Frequently Asked Questions

How much does facial feminization surgery cost in Monterrey?

Costs vary by the number of areas treated, but patients typically save 40–60% compared to equivalent procedures in the U.S. Your complimentary consultation includes a personalized quote.

Will facial feminization implants look natural?

Yes. Because each implant is custom-designed from your CT scan, results are built around your existing anatomy rather than a one-size-fits-all mold—which is part of why outcomes tend to look soft and natural rather than overdone.

How long is recovery from FFS with custom implants?

Most patients return to non-strenuous activities within 2–3 weeks, with final results settling over 3–6 months.

Can implants be removed or adjusted later?

Yes. Implants used to add volume or definition can be exchanged or removed if your goals change, giving you flexibility alongside the more permanent results of bone reduction.

I had a previous FFS procedure that did not achieve my goals. Can this help?

Often, yes. Custom implants can be designed to build on or refine the results of a prior procedure. Dr. Hermosillo will review your CT scans and surgical history during your consultation.

Is facial feminization surgery safe?

As with any surgical procedure, FFS carries risks, which Dr. Hermosillo will review in detail during your consultation. CT-based custom implants allow for precise pre-surgical planning that helps minimize surprises in the operating room.

Why do patients travel to Mexico for facial feminization surgery?

Mexico has become a major destination for high-quality, more affordable cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, with many U.S.-trained and internationally certified surgeons. Dr. Hermosillo performs FFS in Monterrey specifically—a modern, safe, easily accessible city with direct flights from most major U.S. hubs—combining the cost advantages of Mexico with a premium, concierge-level patient experience.
