Ways to Feminize Your Face with FFS/Gender Affirmation Treatment
- Posted on: Oct 15 2024
Facial feminization surgery (FFS) is a transformative process for many individuals in the transgender community, helping align one’s physical appearance with their gender identity. FFS encompasses a range of cosmetic and reconstructive procedures designed to alter traditionally masculine facial features to make them appear more feminine. These surgeries are tailored specifically to each patient’s goals and can include work on the bone structure, soft tissues, and overall facial aesthetics.
Dr. Bardia Amirlak is a triple board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in gender affirming care. He prides himself on providing a compassionate and comprehensive approach to his MTF patients.
Key Procedures in Facial Feminization Surgery
Some of the surgeries that Dr. Amirlak offers to his transgender patients include:
- Forehead Reduction: One of the most visible differences between typically masculine and feminine faces is the position and shape of the hairline. FFS can lower the hairline, reduce any appearance of a receding hairline, and create a more rounded hairline typical of female patterns.
- Brow Lift and Reshaping: The shape and position of the eyebrows play a crucial role in the perception of gender. A brow lift can raise the eyebrows to a higher, more traditionally feminine position, also making the eyes appear larger and more open.
- Rhinoplasty: Feminizing rhinoplasty typically involves refining the nasal bridge, reducing the overall size of the nose, and reshaping the nasal tip to create a softer, more delicate appearance.
- Cheek Augmentation: Enhanced cheeks are often associated with a feminine appearance. Cheek implants or fat grafting can add volume to the cheeks, providing a fuller and more youthful contour.
- Lip Lift and Augmentation: A lip lift reduces the space between the nose and the lip to give a fuller appearance to the upper lip, which is a common feminine trait. Augmentation can be achieved through fillers or implants to provide plumper, more voluptuous lips.
- Jaw and Chin Contouring: Reducing the width and prominence of the jaw and chin can have a dramatic impact on feminizing the face. These procedures might involve shaving bone to refine the jawline and adjusting the shape of the chin to fit more feminine proportions.
- Tracheal Shave: Reducing the size of the Adam’s apple can make a significant difference in the feminization process, helping to smooth the neck’s contour.
