How is Facial Feminization Performed?

The array of facial feminization procedures that each individual patient will need to achieve their vision varies. However, these procedures may include:

Cheek Feminization

To achieve a more feminine facial appearance, some patients may need to alter the cheek structure so that it’s softer and creates a naturally feminine, heart-shaped contour. To achieve this may require adding fullness or reshaping the facial structure to address any of the harsher aspects of the male face. Every cheek feminization procedure is customized for the unique facial structure of the patient and may involve the use of cheek implants or facial fat grafting. 

Chin Reduction

The female face has a smaller, more refined chin structure. For a more delicate facial appearance, chin reduction surgery may be one aspect of your journey towards a more feminine facial appearance. This procedure can reduce chin projection and size, create a rounder and softer look, and lengthen the vertical dimension. A range of shapes can be created based on what will achieve the most feminine appearance for your unique facial structure.

Foreheadplasty

The shape and contour of the forehead is a subtle gender signal — and for MTF patients, it’s often important to create a more feminine, smoother brow with a customized surgical procedure. The male face typically has a more prominent brow bone than the female face, and this bone often projects outwards. The boney ridge above the eyes can be reduced to significantly soften the facial structure. Every patient is unique, and Dr. Beck will work closely with you to help you achieve a truly feminine appearance based upon what will achieve the best-looking and most natural result.

Rhinoplasty

Nature gives the male body a larger nose in many cases, and reshaping it may be a necessary procedure in full facial feminization. A nose reshaping procedure, or rhinoplasty, can make a smaller, more appealing nose structure and reduce nostril size while also addressing issues such as humps on the bridge or other aspects that appear less female. In performing this procedure, it’s vital that the entire facial structure is analyzed so the result is the perfect enhancement.

Tracheal Reduction

A tracheal reduction, or tracheal shave, is a procedure to smooth the throat area so the Adam’s apple is removed. An Adam’s apple is strictly masculine, so for most MTF patients this procedure is an important one. Having a smooth, feminine neck will help you feel confident in a fully feminized look — finally free from this particularly masculine feature. 

Jaw Reduction

In facial feminization, jaw reduction may be a necessary procedure to create a softer, more refined appearance. The lower facial contour can be altered and contoured to create a natural-looking feminine look that enhances the entire face and delivers an overall more delicate appearance. 

Eyelid Surgery

You may want to enhance your eyes so that they’re more open, feminine, and inviting. Eyelid surgery can resolve a range of cosmetic issues including hooded dyes, saggy upper eyelids, puffiness beneath the eyes, under-eye bags, and fine lines for a smoother, fresher look that reflects your true nature in the best possible way.

Fat Grafting

Fat grafting can plump up various areas of the face with your own fat for a very natural-looking adjustment. This can be done in conjunction with facial implants or as a standalone procedure. Nothing is softer and more organic in appearance than natural fat used to plump cheeks or other parts of the face.

Facelift

For MTF facial feminization, some patients will require a custom facelift to smooth and firm the facial structure, remove excess hanging skin and tissue, and leave the face looking younger, fresher, and exceptionally feminine in appearance.

TG Hair Restoration

The transition from MTF may include resolving thinning or balding areas. Our approach to this vital aspect of feminization is to use a revolutionary system called NeoGraft®. This system allows Dr. Beck to harvest single hair follicles from the back of the head and transplant them into the thinning area, where they can flourish and fill in missing hair. The procedure is far easier to tolerate than traditional hair transplant procedures, where a strip of your scalp is removed from which to extract follicles. The tiny injury created by this individual extraction method heals quickly, and there are no scalpels, sutures, or scars.
