Q&A WITH DR. ALEX FACQUE: Facial Surgery and Piercings 101

Q&A WITH DR. ALEX FACQUE: Facial Surgery and Piercings 101 For many people, facial and/or body piercings, along with other forms of body modifications, can be important parts of embodied gender euphoria. In most cases, piercings and body modifications cause minimal impact on the surgical procedures. Jewelry removal is required for all patients before surgery can take place. This requirement is there to better ensure proper healing and safety since it lowers the risk of infection and other complications. _____________________________________________________________________ Patients may worry that their current piercings could close if jewelry is taken out for too long. Here are a few possible ways piercings could be handled: In some cases, plastic or glass spacers can be worn in the place of regular jewelry if the piercing is far enough from the area being operated on. PLEASE NOTE: Spacers must have ZERO metal in or on them. Sometimes, patients can remove jewelry just before surgery and put it back in immediately once out of surgery. In other cases, patients have to remove jewelry entirely and cannot replace it until after they are fully healed. This may mean that the patient has to risk needing to have the piercing redone after they are fully healed. Occasionally, patients will have to remove jewelry because the surgery will directly remove or otherwise alter the piercing site in such a way as to cause the piercing to need to be redone at a later date. EVERY INDIVIDUAL CASE IS DIFFERENT, SO ALWAYS CHECK WITH YOUR SURGEON ABOUT YOUR INDIVIDUAL REQUIREMENTS AND ANY POSSIBLE PIERCING-PRESERVING ACCOMMODATIONS THAT COULD BE TAILORED SPECIFICALLY TO YOUR SITUATION. _____________________________________________________________________ For more educational resources about gender-affirming facial surgeries: genderconfirmation.com/what-is-ffs/ ⠀ To book a consultation with Dr. Facque or with another GCC surgeon: genderconfirmation.com/consultation-request/ Please visit our website: genderconfirmation.com ⠀ #DrFacque #DrLey #DrMosser #GenderConfirmationCenter #trans #transgender #transisbeautiful #sanfrancisco #AllGender #GenderAffirmingCare #TransCare #transproud #Transpride #transgendersurgery #nonbinary #nonbinarysurgery #ffs #fms #facialsurgery #facialfeminization #facialmasculinization #gcfs⠀
