What is Facial Feminization?

Facial Feminization Surgery (FFS) encompasses a variety of procedures designed to soften and transform masculine facial features. Male and female facial features exhibit distinct differences, and reshaping a masculine face into a more feminine one requires a skilled specialist with expertise, a tailored approach, aesthetic sensibility, and a deep understanding of the patient’s unique features.

FFS is not only sought by transgender individuals but also by women who wish to reduce masculine traits or enhance their feminine appearance. Common procedures in facial feminization include facial contouring, forehead reduction, rhinoplasty, fat grafting, and epicanthoplasty.

Feminine Beauty Ideal Traits

A masculine face typically features more defined angles in areas such as the forehead, cheekbones, nose, and chin. To create a more feminine appearance, it’s crucial to soften these contours and achieve a gentler, more delicate facial structure. This transformation requires a combination of surgical procedures.

Braun’s Facial Feminization Surgery (FFS) is designed to enhance femininity while maintaining the individual’s unique beauty. Our expert surgeons work closely with each patient to understand their aesthetic goals and preferences. From there, we craft a personalized surgical plan tailored to the patient's unique anatomy and overall physical features, ensuring that the results are harmonious and aligned with the patient’s vision.

Face Contouring (Cheekbone reduction, Jaw angle reduction, Genioplasty)

It transforms prominent masculine features characterized by strong angles into softer, more feminine lines that emphasize volume and curvature.

Forehead Lift (Brow Lift)

Female brows tend to be positioned slightly higher above the eye's orbital bone, creating an elegant and lifted appearance. In contrast, male brows often appear heavier, straighter, and closer to the eyes. To achieve a more harmonious and feminine facial appearance, forehead lift is commonly performed. These procedures aim to reduce wide foreheads and elevate the brows, aligning them with feminine aesthetics.







Facelift

When a facelift is combined with facial contouring surgery, it helps create a more defined facial structure and enhances feminine facial features. This combination of procedures results in a comprehensive transformation, improving overall facial harmony and appearance.

Eye Surgery (Double eyelids, Epicanthoplasty, Ptosis correction surgery)

The eyes play a crucial role in shaping a person's expression and overall appearance. Masculine eyes tend to be deeper set, appearing narrower and more closed, whereas feminine eyes are often characterized by a more open and larger appearance. To achieve a more feminine look, various eye surgeries can be employed to transform the eyes into a larger and more beautiful shape, enhancing the overall facial aesthetics.

Cat-Eyes (Almond eyes) Surgery procedure

Cat eye surgery is a procedure that extends the eyelids and lifts the outer corners of the eyes, creating an alluring, feline-like appearance. This involves shortening the eyelid's levator muscle, lifting the outer canthus (corner of the eye), and removing excess brow skin to achieve the desired look.

Rhinoplasty

A masculine nose is broad and long, whereas a feminine nose is narrow and curved. Various nose procedures can be performed to create a beautiful nose line that complements the patients face and features. A masculine nose typically extends in a straight line from the forehead to the tip of the nose, whereas a feminine nose is curved, with the tip of the nose slightly raised in the middle of a straight line and a half-curved line.

The Ideal nose angle for women

01 The glabella to the bridge of the nose should be between 120 to 140 degrees.

02 The tip of the nose to the philtrum should be between 95 to 110 degrees.

The ideal nose angle for men

01 The glabella to the bridge of the nose should be between 140 to 150 degrees.

02 The tip of the nose to the philtrum should be between 90 to 105 degrees.

Fat Grafting

(forehead, cheeks, lips, temples, etc.)

Fat grafting in facial feminization is the process of injecting fat into specific areas of the face to enhance volume and achieve softer, more feminine facial features. This procedure is often used to enhance cheeks, lips, temples, and also the forehead as part of the facial feminization process. It provides a natural and long-lasting solution, using the patient's own fat.
