Instructions

When can facial feminisation surgery be considered?

Facial Feminisation Surgery (FFS) can be considered when a person wishes to soften certain facial features to achieve a more feminine and harmonious appearance.

In the context of gender affirmation, some facial features may be perceived as more pronounced or angular. Facial feminisation allows modification of these structures through specific surgical procedures. Depending on the individual case, surgery can help to:

  • Smoothing the forehead and eyebrow contours
  • Redefining the shape of the nose
  • Increasing the volume of lips and cheekbones
  • Styling the jaw and chin
  • Improve the overall harmony of the face

Treatment planning is carried out after a individualized medical assessment, The facial characteristics and objectives of each patient are analysed.

Main facial feminisation techniques

The facial feminisation surgery (FFS) can include different procedures aimed at smoothing features and creating a more feminine and balanced facial appearance. The combination of techniques depends on the anatomical characteristics of each patient and the result to be achieved.

Feminisation of the forehead

The forehead is one of the most relevant areas for facial feminisation. Procedures may include:

  • Reduction and remodelling of the frontal bone: the supraorbital prominence is smoothed and the contour of the forehead is redefined.
  • Eyebrow lift: gives a more open and feminine expression.
  • Lowering of the hairline (where appropriate): improves the proportion between the forehead and the rest of the face.

Feminising rhinoplasty (nose job)

Rhinoplasty allows the shape of the nose to be modified to achieve a more delicate and harmonious profile:

  • Correction of the nasal bridge: prominent bone is smoothed or reduced.
  • Definition of the tip: a slight lifting or elevation of the base of the nose can be applied if the patient wishes.
  • Adjustment of angles and proportions: the nasal shape is adapted to the rest of the facial features.

Lips

Feminisation of the labia can be done using different techniques:

  • Volume increase: using hyaluronic acid or autologous fat (lipofilling).
  • Lip lift: when the space between the nose and the upper lip is larger than usual, this distance is shortened to achieve a more feminine appearance.

Cheekbones (malar area)

The increase in cheekbone volume helps to create a more feminine facial contour:

  • Hyaluronic acid or fat fillers: add volume and a more youthful appearance.
  • Cheek implants: en casos que requieren mayor proyección.
  • Bichectomía: eliminación o remodelación de la grasa de las mejillas para afinar el óvalo facial.

Mandíbula y mentón

La feminización del tercio inferior del rostro puede incluir:

  • Mentoplastia: modifica la forma del mentón para lograr una apariencia más estilizada.
  • Reducción de ángulos mandibulares: suaviza la base de la mandíbula y define un contorno más delicado.

Blepharoplasty

  • Rejuvenecimiento de la mirada: eliminación del exceso de piel en los párpados superiores o inferiores.
  • Correcciones perioculares: pueden afinar la zona de los ojos y aportar una apariencia más luminosa.

Facial lipofilling

  • Voluminización selectiva: la transferencia de grasa propia permite redefinir pómulos, labios o zonas temporales, contribuyendo a un aspecto más equilibrado.

Mejora de la piel

  • Tratamientos dermoestéticos complementarios: pueden emplearse tecnologías avanzadas para mejorar la textura, el tono y la luminosidad de la piel.

Scars

Ubicación de cicatrices en la feminización facial

Las incisiones utilizadas en los procedimientos de feminización facial se planifican cuidadosamente para que las cicatrices resulten lo menos visibles posible. Dependiendo de la técnica utilizada:

  • En la feminización de la frente, la incisión suele situarse en la línea del cabello o dentro del cuero cabelludo
  • En mandíbula, mentón o pómulos, el abordaje puede realizarse desde el interior de la boca
  • En la rhinoplasty, las cicatrices suelen ser pequeñas y discretas

Over time, these scars tend to integrate naturally with the tissues.

Frequently Asked Questions

La feminización facial es un conjunto de procedimientos quirúrgicos que buscan suavizar rasgos faciales y crear una apariencia más femenina y equilibrada.

Depende de cada caso. Algunas pacientes optan por combinar varios procedimientos en una misma intervención, mientras que otras prefieren realizarlos en etapas.

La recuperación inicial suele durar varias semanas, aunque la inflamación puede disminuir progresivamente durante los meses posteriores.


Las incisiones se realizan en zonas estratégicas como el cuero cabelludo, el interior de la boca o pliegues naturales del rostro, lo que permite que las cicatrices sean poco visibles.

El objetivo de la cirugía no es transformar completamente la identidad facial, sino armonizar los rasgos y suavizar estructuras para lograr una apariencia más femenina y natural.
