When talking about the price of facial feminization surgery, there is no 'one size fits all' answer. The reason for this is that everyone has their own unique facial features and their own specific wishes. The amount and duration of procedures you wish to undergo will affect the average price for this surgery. Generally speaking, costs vary, roughly, from 5000 to 60.000 euros. At 2pass Clinic, prices range from 5000 to 40.000 euros, depending on the procedures to be performed.

We realize that for many transgender women, FFS is medically necessary to treat gender dysphoria. It may be as important or even more important than gender reassignment surgery (SRS) to treat gender dysphoria and help trans women integrate socially as women. We therefore believe that the operation should be covered by your basic insurance, but unfortunately we are still far from this ideal. Although health care coverage is increasingly accepting different types of gender reassignment surgery, facial feminization remains part of the “cosmetic” category for many insurers. We have created a web page with an overview of the insurance policy regarding facial feminization surgery in the different countries. 

The Average Price of Facial Feminization Surgery

Facial Feminization Surgery (FFS) is a proven way to increase fit and boost your self-confidence. However, the price of FFS is high, and for many, knowing a surgeon's rates helps them make an informed decision. Since most patients have to travel a long way for this surgery, travel and accommodation costs are other factors to consider.

NB! Higher costs do not equal better care or better quality of treatment. Ultimately, it is best to make a decision based on which surgeon can help achieve the desired result.

Testimonial—FFS costs from Jessica

Jessica requested quotes for her full FFS from several surgeons before choosing to have her surgery performed with us. The price difference between the different surgeons was enormous.

What is the cost of FFS?

This comparison study is based on the price for Jessica's round of a 'Full FFS'* (see video above). She had the following procedures performed:

  • Hairline lowering
  • Type 3 forehead recontouring
  • Nose job
  • Correction and recontouring of the jaw and chin

The Cost of Facial Feminization Surgery in Europe

Even within Europe there are large differences between the prices for this operation. Below is a comparison of the price of a full FFS in Belgium versus Spain. 

  1. Prices in Belgium—The cost for the full FFS in Jessica's example above was 23.500 euros. This included a week's stay at the guesthouse, plus all hospital and other surgical costs.
  2. Prices in Spain—A full FFS with all the procedures mentioned above would cost approximately 48.000 euros. This would include an 11-day postoperative stay, as well as all other hospital and surgical costs.

The Cost of Facial Feminization Surgery in the United States

The price of this full FFS in the US would be between 50.000-60.000 dollars (43.000-53.000 euros), including all hospital and surgical costs.
