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: in cases that require greater projection.
- Bichectomy: Removal or reshaping of cheek fat to refine the facial oval.
Jaw and chin
Feminization of the lower third of the face may include:
- Mentoplasty: It modifies the shape of the chin to achieve a more stylized appearance.
- Reduction of mandibular angles: It softens the base of the jaw and defines a more delicate contour.
Blepharoplasty
- Eye rejuvenation: removal of excess skin on the upper or lower eyelids.
- Periocular corrections: They can refine the eye area and provide a brighter appearance.
Facial lipofilling
- Selective volumization: The transfer of one's own fat allows for the redefinition of cheekbones, lips, or temple areas, contributing to a more balanced appearance.
Skin improvement
- Complementary dermo-aesthetic treatments: Advanced technologies can be used to improve skin texture, tone, and radiance.
