👩⚕️ Brow Bone Reduction
The brow bones of men are more prominent compared to those of women. Women tend to have smaller and smoother foreheads. This is where brow bone reduction comes in. A brow bone reduction makes the forehead area look flatter and more feminine. It does so by shaving the brow ridges to appear flatter and protrude less.
🔪 Hairline Advancement
Typically, the hairline for men sits higher than for women. This procedure is great for those who especially have a high forehead due to a receding hairline. The hairline advancement or forehead reduction procedure aims to bring the hairline forward to reduce the size of the forehead and make it look smaller.
In addition, it also helps to improve the hairline if it is uneven, to bring balance to the face. This uniformity in the hairline also makes the face look youthful.
To carry out this procedure, the surgeon will first create an incision in the hairline. The surgeon then brings the hairline lower, eliminates excess skin, and stitches the incision.

🩺 Chin Feminization
Chin feminization involves the various chin procedures that involve altering the width, shape, and volume of the chin. The male chin has much more width and protrudes from the sides.
A procedure called Genioplasty involves making the chin smaller and reducing its sides to make it look naturally feminine. The incision for this surgery is made inside the mouth, and it involves shaving the chin to make it smaller and softer.
The goal of the surgeon is to reduce the prominence of the chin and give it a feminine tip. In addition to reshaping the chin, a genioplasty can also involve treating a recessed or protruding chin.
Chin feminization also includes a procedure called jaw reduction or mandibular contouring, where the surgeon reduces the size of the jawbone to eliminate some width and make the face look narrower and slimmer. The reduced jaw gives the face a more oval appearance, which is typically associated with feminine faces.
🏥 Shaving the Adam’s Apple
Also known as tracheal shaving, this procedure involves making the Adam’s apple smaller by shaving it down. The surgeon reduces the size of the thyroid cartilage to make it less visible. The obvious change that differentiates the before and after of this procedure is that the neck becomes smoother with no prominent Adam’s apple. Additionally, the surgeon will make the incision in a way that it remains discreet.
👨⚕️ Lip and Cheek Definition
Lip definition is also a procedure that patients get as part of their Facial Feminization Surgery. It usually involves a lip lift where the surgeon reduces the space between the nose and the upper lip. The goal of this procedure is to make the upper lip look bigger and fuller. Not to mention, this procedure also accentuates the cupid’s bow.
To add to this, cheek definition is also included in FFS to add plumpness and volume to the cheeks to achieve a more contoured face. This will include either the use of fat grafting or silicone cheek implants. The ultimate goal is to add more definition to the cheeks and give the face a more delicate shape.
👃 Nose Reshaping
A rhinoplasty or nose reshaping procedure is one of the most important parts of FFS, as it allows for altering the appearance of the nose. It involves narrowing down the nose bridge to resemble feminine noses. In addition, the procedure also focuses on refining the tip and giving it a lift compared to the rounder nose tips that men have. It also focuses on reducing the alar base to match feminine nose aesthetics.
