Facial Feminization Surgery

Discover: Facial Feminization Surgery in Atlanta, GA

Many transgender women experience a great deal of anxiety and struggle with acceptance in their personal and professional communities because their characteristics don’t match their personal identity, a condition called gender dysphoria. Facial Feminization Surgery (FFS), also known as Facial Gender Affirmation Surgery or Gender Confirmation Surgery, is gaining in popularity for its ability to transform faces with strong, masculine features into those with more feminine characteristics. It’s a highly specialized procedure composed of multiple different treatments to completely transform the face. Facial Feminizing Surgery can not only help trans women embrace who they are but allows them to openly express and build confidence in their true gender identity.

FFS isn’t only for transgender women because it enhances facial beauty. These procedures are becoming more desirable among non-transgender women as well. Masculine features can make it difficult for any woman to feel confident and desirable, which is why FFS helps women of all backgrounds to look more feminine and feel more radiant.

Forehead Contouring

A large or long forehead is generally a male characteristic rather than that of a female. Male foreheads often have a heavy bony ridge just above the eyes in a line beneath the eyebrows. Forehead contouring, also known as forehead bossing surgery, is an FFS procedure that involves shaving down or surgically altering the brow bone. It can also involve an implant or dermal filler to round out a flat forehead, creating a more feminine appearance. Dr. Huynh often performs forehead contouring with a brow lift and hairline lowering  as this typically produces better, more cohesive results, and all three procedures can be performed using the same surgical approach.

Hairline Lowering

In males, the hairline tends to be higher on the face and defines the forehead with a boxy shape; in females, the hairline tends to be lower on the face and defines the forehead with a semicircular shape. During a hairline lowering procedure, an incision is made along the hairline where a section of skin can be removed from the forehead, and the scalp is lowered to a new, more feminine position.

Feminizing Rhinoplasty

The male nose tends to be longer and wider, consistent with its overall larger appearance. A female nose is often narrower, shorter, tilted upwards, and slightly concave. During a feminizing rhinoplasty, Dr. Huynh will alter the shape of the nose by changing the underlying bone and cartilage. Lateral and medial tissue may be removed from inside the nose to make it narrower. Any bumps or a deviated septum can be addressed if so desired. Also, the tip of the nose may be redefined, raised, and reduced.

To create fuller, more feminine-looking lips, an incision is made under the nose, and part of the skin is removed. The remaining skin is sutured to the base of the nose, pulling the top lip up to shorten the distance between the top lip and nose. Lips can also be made to look fuller with a lip augmentation, using lip fillers or natural, synthetic, or solid injected implants.
