Facial Feminisation Surgery - Forehead Refinement, Brow Reduction, Jawline Contouring
Creating a Softer, More Feminine Facial Aesthetic
Facial Feminisation Surgery (FFS) focuses on refining masculine features to achieve a more feminine and harmonious facial appearance. Common procedures within FFS include forehead refinement, brow reduction, and jawline contouring, all of which contribute to a softer, more delicate facial contour.
Forehead Refinement: This procedure softens a prominent or broad forehead, often through the removal of excess bone and reshaping to create a smoother, more feminine curve.
Brow Reduction: This procedure reduces a prominent or heavy brow ridge to create a more feminine brow appearance. It can be combined with a forehead lift for an overall rejuvenated look.
Jawline Contouring: A more feminine jawline can be achieved by reducing the width or reshaping the jaw, giving the face a more delicate and sculpted appearance.
These procedures work together to create a more balanced and traditionally feminine facial appearance that better aligns with an individual’s gender identity.
Procedure Time: 3–6 hours
Anaesthesia: General anaesthesia
Downtime/Recovery: 2–4 weeks
