What’s the First Step?
The first step in your Facial Feminization transformation is to get in touch with us and schedule a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Jaiswal. During your appointment, you’ll be able to express your surgical desires and ask any questions that you have. Dr. Jaiswal will intently listen and after examining your face, he will provide his expert recommendations on which procedures will work best for you.
If you agree with his suggestions and would like to move forward, your surgical plan and our Patient Coordinator will help book your surgery. You will also be provided with certain instructions to follow that will help decrease unnecessary risks and achieve the best possible results.
As you converse with Dr. Jaiswal, we encourage you to be open and honest. Your safety and health are most important to us, so you’re clarity will help achieve that.
On the day of your Facial Feminization surgery, you will be made comfortable with either general anesthesia or intravenous sedation, depending on what is chosen during your consultation. Once you are sedated, Dr. Jaiswal will begin your surgery.
Every patient will require a combination and techniques to achieve their look, and Dr. Jaiswal strives to create a beautiful and feminine face. If you would like to understand what happens during each procedure, please differ to the information provided above in the “What is” section.
After surgery, we will monitor you in our recovery room as you come out of sedation. Once you are free to leave, a family member or friend can take you home. You can expect to experience some pain, redness, and swelling in your face, most noticeably in your eyes, nose, jaw, and chin. You will need to avoid overexerting yourself for at least one month, and once Dr. Jaiswal gives you the ‘OK’, you can begin moderate exercise within three to six months.
You will notice that chewing and swallowing may be difficult due to incisions and swelling, so you should stick to softer foods as you initially heal. If you’d like, we can offer our recommendations for nutritionists in the area to make sure you get enough nutrients following surgery, because a healthy diet is an important part of your recovery.
The cost of Facial Feminization in Las Vegas will vary on many factors, but most importantly, the procedures that you choose. After meeting with Dr. Jaiswal and he creates your surgical plan, our Patient Coordinator will be able to use that information to give you a price breakdown.

Facial Feminization FAQ’s
Is Facial Feminization Painful?
The surgery isn’t painful since it is performed under general anesthesia, but you can expect some pain and discomfort during your recovery. Dr. Jaiswal will provide you with instructions on how to alleviate any discomfort, as well as temporarily prescribe you pain medication.
How many appointments will I need?
The number of appointments you will need will be decided upon during your consultation. As mentioned above, while most procedures can be combined, Dr. Jaiswal may recommend that you break them up into several surgeries to achieve the best results.
After your surgeries, Dr. Jaiswal will want to see you for a follow-up about a week post-op, so he can monitor your healing and remove or replace any bandages and sutures. Depending on the procedures you get, you may require more additional check-ups than another patient. You will always be informed of when he expects to see you again and when your last appointment will be.
How long until I see results?
Results will vary for every patient, but depending on the degree of change and the procedures you get, you may see some positive changes immediately after surgery, however, you will need to wait for any swelling and bruising to subside.
