What are Facial Feminization Procedures?
Facial feminization procedures encompass a range of surgical techniques designed to soften and refine masculine facial features, creating a more traditionally feminine appearance. These procedures address various aspects of the face, including the forehead, eyes, nose, cheeks, jawline, and chin, to enhance overall facial harmony and align with gender identity.
Common Facial Feminization Procedures
Forehead Contouring
Objective: Forehead contouring softens a prominent brow ridge and creates a smoother, more rounded forehead.
Technique: Involves reshaping the bone and contouring the brow area to achieve a more feminine appearance.
Brow Lift
Objective: A brow lift elevates and refines the brow area, creating a more arched and youthful appearance.
Technique: Performed using endoscopic or traditional methods to lift the brows and smooth forehead wrinkles.
Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery)
