Face Feminization

What is Face Feminization?

The main purpose of facial feminization is to make the facial features of individuals with masculine facial features softer and more feminine. It is a combined surgery consisting of procedures requested by many women as well as those who want to change gender. This operation is determined according to the age, duration of hormone treatment, nationality, expectations and preferences of the individual.

What are the features that make the face look masculine?

Wide, slightly dorsal and curved nose Thick, straight eyebrows, close to the eyes Protrusions on the upper edge of the eye sockets, the so-called “brow ridge” Thin and long lips, as well as a large distance between the lips and nose Wide and square chin Adam’s apple

What are the procedures applied in Face Feminization?

Forehead reduction (Hairline): The hairline is a defining feature for gender. It is a procedure applied to balance the disproportion in the face by narrowing the length of the forehead and to create a feminine forehead.

Adam’s Apple (Tracheal) Shaving

Tracheal shaving, also called Adam’s apple reduction or chondrolaryngoplasty, aims to remove the Adam’s apple.

Eyebrow bone (Supraorbital Rim) Shaving

The main difference between male and female foreheads is that men usually have a bony prominence at the upper edge of the eye sockets, called the “brow ridge”. Women’s foreheads have little or no this ridge. The forehead is one of the most obvious gender markers. Brow bone shaving (also known as forehead contouring) can transform a masculine-looking forehead so that it falls into the female range.

Eyebrow Lift

Brow lift surgery also reduces the scars caused by frowning and the sagging of the eyebrows caused by forehead sagging. It is an aesthetic procedure applied to restore the eyebrows to their old and youthful form.

Cantoplasty (Almond, Cat Eye)

Canthoplasty is a surgical procedure that aims to create an upward slope in the outer corner of the eyelid or to correct the drooping appearance of this part of the eye. Canthoplasty is also performed to achieve almond-shaped eyes for cosmetic purposes.

Cheek, Cheekbone Augmentation and Defining

Prominent cheekbones are seen as signs of beauty and femininity. Among the procedures that can be performed to enlarge the cheeks are implant placement on the cheekbone, injections made with the patient’s own fat or soft tissue filling.

Jaw Surgery

Jaw surgery, also known as genioplasty or mentoplasty. It is the process of reshaping the chin with an implant enhancement or bone shaving surgery. This operation is an option that will give satisfactory results for people who want to improve facial harmony and balance of chin, cheeks and forehead.

Nose Feminization

Procedures such as narrowing the nose and, if necessary, correcting it from the inside or reshaping the nasal cartilage are determined according to the needs of the patient. Apart from a nose with feminine contours, other benefits of the operation are that it makes the eyes more prominent, reveals the cheekbones and adds subtlety to the overall appearance of the face.

Mandible Shaving

Besides the forehead, eye contour and nose, the most important feature of a feminine face is the delicate line. This is often determined by the shape of the chin. Mandibular contouring or reduction is a procedure for patients who want a more delicate and smaller jawline.

Lip Lift

If the distance between the nose and upper lip is long, it is done to shorten the distance or to increase the prominence of a very thin lip.

Face lift

Facelift, also known as rhytidectomy, is a plastic surgery procedure applied to provide a younger appearance to the face that has sagged and lost its vigorous appearance due to age.
