Feminization of the Face

Normally, the shape of the forehead in men is slightly concave, and there may be a slight sinus prominence, which is natural. However, excessive prominence of the frontal sinus wall can distort the face and make it appear harsh and stern. Often, in people with a prominent forehead, eyebrow drooping is also evident, which reduces the distance between the eye and eyebrow, making the eyes appear sunken and reducing their attractiveness. Fortunately, a prominent forehead is rarely seen in women, but in the rare cases where it does occur, it can diminish the delicacy and attractiveness of a feminine face.    

9 Benefits of Facial Feminization

●A Picture is Complete with Its Frame

If you have sunken eyes, a prominent forehead can make this condition appear more severe. In this case, by correcting the prominent forehead through surgery, your eyes can be somewhat improved and less sunken. However, please note that if you use a non-surgical method to correct a prominent forehead, no improvement will be made in the sunkenness of your eyes.

●It’s Better to Have a Soft and Attractive Face Than a Harsh and Angry One

When the forehead is prominent, the eyebrows appear forward. The distance between the eye and eyebrow is reduced, as if the person is frowning. The faces of many of these individuals are perceived by others as angry, harsh, sullen, and with negative energy.
Those who suffer from this condition and desire a softer and more delicate facial appearance are advised to have their eyebrows lifted along with the correction of the prominent forehead to achieve a more attractive appearance and resolve the aforementioned problems.

●Better Show the Beauty of Your Eyes

In some people, in addition to a prominent forehead, the sides of the bone below and above the eyebrow (around the eye socket) are also thick and have a prominence. This itself causes the eyes to appear more sunken or the area under the eyebrows to appear puffy.

●Feminizing the Face in Women

In some women, due to excessive bone growth in the forehead area, the face appears somewhat masculine and coarse. By correcting the prominence of the forehead, the face can be made more delicate and feminine, especially if it is done by shortening the forehead, the person’s face will appear more delicate and youthful (baby face).

● Enhance Your Eyebrows While Correcting a Prominent Forehead

Typically, an eyebrow lift is performed simultaneously with forehead surgery. This is because many individuals who have a prominent forehead also suffer from eyebrow drooping, which contributes to a frowning and harsh facial expression. At Dr. Akbar Beyat’s clinic, to achieve a complete result, an eyebrow lift can be performed concurrently with the correction of the prominence.

● If You Desire a Gender Change, You Should Also Alter Your Facial Shape

In men, the forehead is somewhat concave, while in women, it is convex. For those who wish to undergo a gender change from male to female, adhering to this principle is crucial. In such individuals, Neanderthal forehead surgery is used to transform the shape of the forehead from a masculine to a feminine form, reducing facial harshness and increasing its delicacy.

●If you desire a gender change, you should also consider altering your neck shape.

Typically, men have a small protrusion on their larynx called an Adam’s apple, which is more noticeable in thinner individuals. This can be reduced simultaneously with facial feminization surgery.

● If you desire a gender change, you should also consider altering your cheek shape.

Typically, men’s cheekbones are less prominent and flatter. If you’re considering gender affirmation surgery, it’s advisable to also undergo cheek augmentation surgery.

●If you're seeking a gender transition, you should also consider altering the shape of your lips.

Male lips are typically thin and have less volume. This can be non-invasively addressed with dermal fillers, but if you prefer a more permanent solution, a direct lip augmentation surgery can be performed to increase the size and fullness of the lips

●Complications of Feminization Surgery

Although feminization facial surgery is considered safe, like any other surgery, it can have complications. Each of these complications can be prevented or treated using specific strategies.
These complications include bruising, pain, itching, or numbness of the forehead skin, swelling, or the remaining scar of the surgery.
On the other hand, simultaneously with forehead shortening surgery, a prominent forehead correction may also be performed to feminize the face. Increased internal sinus pressure may cause headaches in some individuals. The prevalence of sinus headaches is higher in people with prominent foreheads than in normal individuals. However, not all people with this problem experience headaches. Although, there is still no study that links the cause of headaches in these individuals to the overgrowth of the sinuses.

Post-Surgery Care

Given the nature of the surgery and the post-operative conditions, it is necessary to be aware of the exact post-operative care methods so that you can return to your normal life in the shortest possible time and also avoid specific complications resulting from the surgery. For this purpose, the post-operative support team will be with you immediately after the surgery by sending you a post-operative care file and calling you.
