Preparing for facial feminization surgery (FFS) or gender-affirming facial surgery is a daunting task. Patients do extensive research online to see what FFS means. Oftentimes it is the patients who are educating their physicians when discussing medical clearance or the esteemed "therapy letter." The therapy letter is a letter that details the support for surgery in a stable patient and reaffirms the need to have FFS in a person diagnosed with gender dysphoria. This typically follows the World Professional Association for Transgender Health standards-of-care guidelines. Besides having the therapy letter, patients must be counseled on concurrent mental health illnesses.
准备面部女性化手术（FFS）或性别肯定性面部手术是一项艰巨的任务。患者会在网上进行广泛的研究，了解 FFS 的含义。通常情况下，在讨论医疗许可或备受推崇的“治疗信”时，是患者在教育医生。治疗信是一封详细说明稳定患者手术支持并再次确认患有性别焦虑症的人需要进行 FFS 的信。这通常遵循世界跨性别健康专业协会的护理标准指南。除了有治疗信外，还必须对患者进行并发精神疾病的咨询。
