Facial
FFS procedures can reshape the forehead, brows, nose, cheeks and jaw as well as minimize the appearance of an Adam's apple (tracheal shave). In addition to plastic surgery, facial feminization procedures include nonsurgical treatments such as cosmetic fillers, botulinum toxin, fat grafting and liposuction.
Facial feminization surgery (FFS) changes features on your face so they appear more feminine and less masculine. It might involve one surgery or a series of procedures. FFS can reshape bone, cartilage and soft tissue of the face.
A typical self-pay patient can expect to pay in the $8,500 to $49,500 range depending on the scope of treatment that is required to produce the best possible cosmetic outcome. Your final cost will be clearly outlined during your consultation with Dr.
You may be an ideal candidate for facial feminization if you feel that your face is too masculine-looking. The most common complaints heard from women who are ideal candidates for this type of surgery are: My forehead is too high or too "bold" My brow sticks out too far; it's too prominent or "heavy"
Injectables such as Botox and dermal fillers have revolutionized the world of cosmetic surgery and these anti-aging techniques can also be used for Facial Feminization, especially in patients over 40.
Like any other type of major surgery, many types of feminizing surgery pose a risk of bleeding, infection, damage to nearby structures, an imbalance in facial features and an adverse reaction to anesthesia. Other complications might include: Suture rupture along an incision line.
FFS generally causes more discomfort than pain
One would imagine that waking up from the surgery and going through the first night has to be a painful process. But in reality there is a lot of numbness, and the feeling of sedation lingers.
An Adam's Apple reduction does not change the tone of one's voice; this is accomplished through voice surgery. An Adam's Apple reduction may be performed at the same time as other procedures. * Due to multiple factors that are unique to each individual, results may vary from one person to another.
Additionally, a nose job can make the nose smaller and fit a feminine presenting face better. Rhinoplasty surgery is frequently part of facial feminization surgery for transgender women. While not part of every procedure, it can help balance the newly feminized features.
The feminine jawline is typically narrow at the sides (the mandibular angles) and rounded at the chin. Through incisions hidden inside the mouth, we are able to shave and contour both the sides of the jaw and chin to create a more feminine appearance.
V-line jaw surgery, also known as mandibuloplasty, is used to make the jaw line look narrower. The surgery removes parts of your jaw and chin, reshaping them so that your jaw will heal in a more pointed shape like the letter “V”.” Some cultures associate a V-shaped jaw and chin shape with femininity and female beauty.
What makes a face more masculine or feminine? The bony structures of the face differ between the sexes. Subtle differences of the forehead, cheeks, nose, chin, and jawline work together to cue the world to view a face as masculine or feminine.
Most Popular Countries for FFS Surgery
Popular countries for all kinds of medical travel include Brazil, Costa Rica, India, Mexico, Singapore, Thailand and Korea.
For some trans women, FFS is an important part of easing their gender dysphoria and making them feel safer in public. Though, it's important to remember that having or not having surgery doesn't make your gender identity any more or less valid.
Swelling and bruising varies among patients, but expect most of it to be resolved by 2 weeks. You may experience numbness and tingling of your chin, lips, and lower teeth. This resolves in 2-4 weeks in the majority of patients; in a smaller percentage of patients this can persist up to 1 year.
The cost of FFS in Korea can vary depending on various factors such as the specific procedures included, the surgeon's experience, and the clinic's reputation. On average, the cost of FFS in Korea ranges from $15,000 to $30,000.
The Type 3 Cranioplasty – A Critical Appraisal
Often, male foreheads have a brow ridge in the bottom part and a depression or slope backward in the mid and upper part. A Type 3 cranioplasty only brings the ridge back to the lowest part of the forehead, which may be a non-feminine depression.
Adam's apple. In most men and some women, the thyroid cartilage on the throat is larger and projects forward to form the small bump known as the Adam's apple. The thyroid cartilage is not usually noticeable in women and this makes the Adam's apple one of the most prominent features creating a masculine appearance.
More studies report an overall preference for 'feminine' male faces than for 'masculine' ones. It seems that women vary in how attractive they find masculine faces. Women at the fertile peak of their cycle favour more masculine faces, or at least less-feminine ones, than women not at the fertile peak or on the pill.
