"A transgender woman typically wants to blend in and be seen the same as every other woman," says Spiegel. Her end goal is to pass as a woman, not a transgender woman.
On average, Dr. Spigel performs about two to five facial feminization surgeries a week. This includes any of the following procedures:
-Rhinoplasty: $7,000*
-Adam's apple surgery: $5,000*
-Lip augmentation: $5,000*
-Forehead contouring: $12,000*
-Jaw and chin reshaping: $10,000*
-Cheek augmentation: $2,000-$7,000*
-Scalp advancement (a lowering of the hairline and adjustment of the eyebrows): $8,800*
-Facelift and eyelid surgery for older patients: $12,000*
The most common procedures involve the brow bone and Adam's apple, according to Dr. Gary Alter, MD, board-certified plastic surgeon and RealSelf.com contributor, who recently added Caitlyn Jenner to his patient roster.
Cost: $17,050 is the average price for facial feminization surgery, though Prata notes many of her clients spend around $30,000.
