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

    Surgical Procedure

    • Forehead Refinement: Excess bone is carefully removed from the forehead to create a smoother contour, often through a hidden incision along the hairline.

    • Brow Reduction: The brow bone is reduced and reshaped, with the incision often made along the scalp or within the hairline.

    • Jawline Contouring: The jawbone is reshaped through intraoral incisions to reduce the width or sharpness of the jaw, achieving a softer, more rounded profile.

      • Recovery instructions include managing swelling, applying ice packs, and avoiding strenuous activities during the initial healing phase.

      • Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor healing and ensure satisfactory results.

    • How long does the recovery take after FFS?
      Recovery typically takes 2–4 weeks, but full results can take several months as swelling subsides.

    • Are the scars from these procedures visible?
      Most incisions are hidden within the hairline or inside the mouth, making them inconspicuous once healed.

    • Will the results look natural?
      Yes, the aim of FFS is to enhance your features in a way that looks natural and harmonious, maintaining your unique characteristics.
