Options for Facial Feminization

Facial feminization surgery focuses on different facial features individually.

Forehead Contouring

The Forehead procedure focuses on contouring and reducing the prominence of the brow bone to give a softer look. Patients with a thicker brow bone often require more work. Those with a large brow bone, the front section of the bone is removed to get the desired angles.

Hairline Advancement

Male hairlines often recede with age along with patterns of baldness. The scalp is often cut to move the hairline further down towards the face. The incision is hidden within the hair for more natural-looking results.

Rhinoplasty

The objective behind rhinoplasty is to shape the nose to the patient’s ideal size and length. Rhinoplasty for facial feminization focuses on refining the features of the nose and balancing overall proportions of the face.

Cheek Augmentation

Cheek augmentation involves placing implants under the cheek to give a fuller look. Fat grafting can also be used to add volume to the cheeks.

Lip Lift

A lip lift can involve shortening the distance between the upper lip and the nose or adding volume to the lips using dermal fillers to give them a fuller appearance.

Genioplasty

A genioplasty alters the shape of the chin (chin augmentation). This can be performed to refine the shape of the chin, or to give it a softer appearance based on the specific aesthetic needs of the patient.

Jaw Contouring

Jaw contouring can involve reduction of the bones along the jaw or the addition of jaw implant.

Thyroid Reduction

Also known as an “Adam’s Apple reduction”, this procedure focuses on shaving away thyroid cartilage to reduce the appearance of the Adam’s apple. The incisions for the procedure are made under the chin making the scar nearly undetectable.
