What is Facial Feminization?
Facial feminization surgery alters the characteristics of one’s face to create a more feminine appearance. This procedure can involve various techniques such as brow and forehead contouring, a nose job, adding volume to the cheeks, lip plumping or reshaping, and jawline contouring. Facial feminization is often performed on transgender women who desire to align their external features with their gender identity.
Aesthera Plastic Surgery is a leading provider of facial feminization procedures. We help individuals embrace their authentic selves. Each patient’s desired outcomes are carefully discussed, and customized treatment plans are designed to achieve the desired results.
With increasing awareness about gender diversity and acceptance, facial feminization continues to grow in popularity as an effective means for individuals to feel more comfortable in their bodies.
The Benefits of Facial Feminization Surgery
One key benefit is improving self-esteem and confidence for individuals who have long struggled with gender dysphoria.. Aligning physical appearance with inner identity helps individuals feel more comfortable in social interactions and life.
Facial feminization surgery can also improve the quality of life. Many individuals report feeling happier and more fulfilled after undergoing the procedure. They can now present themselves to others in a way that aligns with their inner self.
Standard Procedures in Facial Feminization Surgery
Facial feminization surgery uses individual procedures to create a more feminine appearance. One standard procedure is forehead contouring. Facial contouring involves reshaping the forehead to reduce the prominence of masculine traits like a defined brow ridge or deep-set temples. This can be achieved through hairline advancement, bone shaving, and an eyebrow lift.
Rhinoplasty – commonly referred to as a nose job- is another frequently performed procedure in facial feminization. A plastic surgeon creates a more delicate, smaller, and refined-looking nose.
Jaw contouring is also commonly done during facial feminization surgeries. Masculine jawlines are typically broader and have square angles compared to softer and narrower female jawlines. Surgeons perform jaw and chin recontouring to reshape the jaw area for a more rounded and slender look.
Each patient’s needs will dictate which combination of procedures are recommended in their facial feminization journey. As Aesthera Plastic Surgery focuses on personalized treatments, each facial feminization procedure uses different plastic surgery techniques.
