Facial feminization surgery (FFS) is a surgical magic that integrates the physical aesthetics of trans women with their inner selves. This comprehensive and meticulous FFS process is about recognizing oneself in the mirror, feeling more confident in social life, and undergoing a transformation. Therefore, there is no single factor in making this decision. However, certain factors should be considered for those seeking the right decision, particularly the right clinic, the right surgeon, and realistic expectations.
In recent years, Antalya has become an important city for trans women from both Turkey and abroad in the field of FFS. Its advanced healthcare infrastructure, experienced surgeons, and international patient experience make the city stand out in this field. In this article, we discuss Antalya’s top 3 FFS clinics, taking into account the needs and expectations of trans women.
1. Dr. Serkan İlhan Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery Clinic
The common feature of the most powerful FFS clinics in Antalya is that they do not produce uniform faces. The clinic at the top of the list stands out with its approach that evaluates factors such as personal facial analysis, ethnic structure, age, and the transition process together. Dr. İlhan, the clinic’s founder, participated in 4 face transplants and 2 bilateral hand transplants during his residency. After completing his training in plastic reconstructive aesthetic surgery, he worked at Aksaray Training Hospital for 2 years between 2017 and 2019. With a microsurgery fellowship, he worked with Prof. Hung Chin Chen at the Chinese Medical University in Taiwan in 2018 on body restoration, lipedema, and lymphedema.
In 2021, he opened his Private Cosmetic Center in Şirinyalı/Muratpaşa, directly opposite the Private Yaşam Hospital. At the cosmetic center, he performs surgical and non-surgical procedures such as Botox, hyaluronic acid fillers, and PRP treatments.
- He aims to provide the best service to patients from all over the world with English-speaking doctors and staff.
- At this clinic, FFS is planned with the goal of achieving a face that is “feminine to you,” not “more feminine.”
- It is particularly known for its non-surgical procedures, and every procedure is tailored to the individual.
- Natural feminization takes precedence over exaggerated changes.
- “Recognizability,” one of the most important points for trans women, is preserved here. In other words, the face changes, but the identity is not lost.
2. Clínica del Dr. MFO
When trans women want a more detailed and complete facial feminization, they look for clinics that excel in FFS. One of the centers frequently mentioned when it comes to FFS in Antalya, and one that stands out for its meticulous planning, is DR. MFO Clinic.
What sets DR. MFO Clinic apart is that it approaches FFS not as a single surgery, but as a step-by-step transformation process. With over 10 years of experience, DR. MFO aims to meet the expectations of trans women regarding FFS. It achieves successful results that satisfy its visitors in the hundreds of FFS surgeries it has performed. Many visitors from all over the world who come for facial feminization choose this clinic in Antalya. Thanks to advanced language skills, communication ceases to be a concern. Here, Dr. MFO and his team are fluent in foreign languages as if they were their native tongue.
Facial feminization at this leading clinic not only in Antalya but also in Turkey:
- It is planned based on the proportions of areas such as the forehead, eyebrows, nose, chin, and midface.
- Priority is given to the procedures that are most needed, not the “most common procedures.”
- Femininity is achieved through soft transitions rather than sharp lines.
Particular attention is paid to a concern frequently expressed by trans women: “I don’t want to look like I’ve had surgery.” The goal at DR. MFO Clinic is to achieve a face that, when viewed from the outside, shows harmony rather than surgery. For many trans women, this clinic stands out as one of the places where they feel understood from the very first consultation.
Op. Dr. Onur Oğan Plastic Surgery Clinic
Ranked third on the list, Op. Dr. Onur Oğan Plastic Surgery Clinic is particularly known for its surgical technical infrastructure and operational capacity. Preferred for more comprehensive and multi-procedure FFS cases, this center offers a technically strong option.
Here, with the understanding that all aesthetic operations are medical procedures, each procedure is preceded by a detailed assessment of the patient’s anatomical structure, medical history, medications (if any), lifestyle, and expectations. This successful clinic:
- Can perform multiple FFS procedures in the same session.
- Has strong hospital infrastructure and equipment.
- Attracts trans women who want a more “clear-cut” change.
However, since feminization is generally more pronounced here, those who expect a natural look should make a detailed assessment before deciding.
Small but Important Notes for Trans Women Considering Surgery
Trans women should be aware of the following before choosing a clinic and embarking on the FFS process:
- Not every face has the same needs. Contrary to popular belief, feminine features do not have universally accepted definitions.
- A procedure that looks beautiful on someone else may not have the same effect on you. Therefore, it is necessary to bring out feminine features that suit your unique facial features.
- FFS is not a competition, but a personal journey.
The “most expensive” or “most popular” clinic may not always be the right choice. It is important to evaluate clinics that focus on your health and the process as well as the results.
The important thing is to find a team that listens to you, has the ability to analyze your face correctly, and speaks the same language as you. Communication is very important for the proper management of this process. Therefore, give priority to clinics with teams that speak your language or a common language well.
