Procedure

There can be a different need for facial feminization surgery and it may consist of several procedures. It may include forehead contouring, eye, and lid modification or blepharoplasty, nose reshaping or rhinoplasty, lip lift and augmentation, mandibular angle reduction, or chin width reduction. Among the other possible options are head and neck procedures, the tracheal shave, hair transplantation, and lowering the hairline.

In forehead contouring, the surgeons cut a part of the forehead bone, remove it, reshape and put it back in place to make the forehead look more feminine. Cutting off excess tissues from the upper eyelids may feminize the upper eyelids and this procedure named blepharoplasty is a very popular facial feminization surgery. Another important feminization surgery is cheek augmentation where surgeons make fractures and move the cheekbones to a different position.

The surgeons take fat from another area of the body like thighs or belly and place in the cheek for altering shape and size to correct the round cheeks in the middle third of the face of women. Rhinoplasty is also a popular form of surgery done on transgender women that reduce the overall size of the nose. For lip augmentation, surgeons use fillers or implants by taking fat from other parts of the body and placing it on the lip.

Mandibular angle reduction is the shortening of the larger and broader male jaw by sculpting or removing the excess outer layers located in the lower jaw. Another popular procedure is genioplasty or chin width reduction of males where the surgeon cuts the chin bone to remove a small wedge of the chin bone to make a feminine look. There are possibilities of the tracheal shave for minimizing the thyroid cartilage or Adam’s apple or lowering the hairline like female or hair transplantation to get a perfect feminine look.

Preparation

Normally surgeons carry feminizing surgeries after adulthood and you need to consult a board-certified surgeon experienced in such procedures before the surgery. The surgeon may ask you about your ideas and expectations and will suggest the procedure that can be effective for feminizing your face. You may need to undergo a CT scan to allow your surgeon to get detailed anatomical information. Also, at several intervals of the surgery, the surgeon will make arrangements to take several photographs of your face.

You should follow all instructions of your surgeon before undergoing surgery and that may include the pattern of drinking and eating and medications. You need to quit smoking and alcohol consumption and have to meet some specific criteria for the surgery. Suitable lab tests like the lipid, blood sugar, liver enzymes, blood count, electrolytes and review of your immunizations, etc will be necessary.
