How Endoscopic Forehead Reduction Helps MTF Patients Achieve Natural Results
- Posted on: May 31 2025
For many MTF individuals, facial features can feel at odds with their identity. One area of concern often lies in the forehead, where prominent brow ridges, or frontal bossing, can create a more masculine appearance. While traditional surgical options involve large incisions across the scalp, there’s a newer, minimally invasive method that offers transformative, natural-looking results with less visible scarring.
At Amirlak Plastic Surgery in Dallas, TX, facial feminization techniques are continuously evolving. Dr. Bardia Amirlak, a triple board-certified plastic surgeon and associate professor of plastic surgery at UT Southwestern, has performed countless cosmetic procedures and pioneered a minimally invasive endoscopic approach to forehead reduction. Backed by elite training, global recognition, and a deep understanding of transgender surgical needs, he delivers patient-specific outcomes that prioritize subtle, feminine features.
Endoscopic Forehead Reduction for MTF Patients
Unlike traditional forehead-reduction methods that require a long coronal or hairline incision, this technique uses small, hidden incisions behind the hairline. Dr. Amirlak uses an endoscope to visualize the bone structure and reshape the forehead with precision.
This approach is particularly effective for MTF patients concerned with:
- Visible scarring: Minimally invasive incisions allow for faster healing and minimal scar visibility.
- Masculine brow prominence: Smooths and softens the forehead for a naturally feminine contour.
- Hairline preservation: Reduces the risk of hairline recession, which is critical for gender-affirming aesthetics.
Many patients are surprised by how much this one procedure can impact overall facial harmony. It’s often combined with other procedures, such as brow lifts or rhinoplasty, for enhanced feminization.
Natural Facial Feminization Surgery Results
A natural look is the goal for many undergoing facial feminization surgery. Endoscopic forehead reduction is uniquely equipped to support that goal when performed by an experienced surgeon, like Dr. Amirlak. Here’s how this technique enhances subtlety:
- Precision reshaping with the endoscope reduces unnecessary trauma.
- Smaller instruments minimize soft tissue disruption, reducing swelling and recovery time.
- Enhanced symmetry and contour contribute to a more cohesive feminine appearance.
This technique continues to grow in popularity as more patients seek less invasive solutions that deliver subtle, harmonious results.
