Facial feminization surgery is a big step forward in transitioning to a feminine appearance. Testosterone changes the features and shape of a person’s face, and feminization surgery is a way to alter those effects permanently. This surgery is done with a minimally invasive approach. The incisions are made in areas that are nearly imperceptible, which allows for minimal scarring.
The face is the first part of you that people see. Your identity and their first impression of you come from your facial features. Feminization surgery makes a big difference in how people perceive you and your identity. It is an important and medically necessary part of transitioning to become a transwoman. This type of surgery is a set of procedures that creates a softer and more feminine look to the face.
What you need to look more feminine will depend on your face structure and your hormone levels. Some of the common procedures that are a part of the feminization surgery of the face include bony and soft tissue sculpting of the thyroid area, brows, cheeks and jaw line. Cheek implants, nose reshaping and lip lifts are often a part of the surgery. Some people may also want to have lip implants, chin reshaping or a total face lift. These procedures are complemented by laser hair removal on the face.
