Patients from Boulder, Colorado, can begin their journey through virtual consultations, followed by personalized treatment planning and surgery performed at Allure Esthetic’s state-of-the-art facility in Seattle.
Benefits of Facial Feminization Surgery
Facial Feminization Surgery offers more than cosmetic refinement. It helps individuals achieve alignment between their inner identity and outer appearance.
Key benefits include:
- Softer, More Feminine Facial Contours: FFS refines the shape and angles of facial structures such as the forehead, jawline, and chin to create smoother, rounder lines traditionally associated with femininity. These subtle adjustments enhance overall balance while maintaining individuality.
- Improved Facial Harmony and Proportion: Each procedure is carefully planned to complement the patient’s existing features. When facial elements work together harmoniously, the result appears effortless and naturally feminine rather than surgically altered.
- Increased Inner Alignment Between Identity and Appearance: For many individuals, the most meaningful benefit of FFS is the emotional alignment it provides. Achieving facial features that reflect one’s gender identity can significantly enhance confidence, comfort, and a sense of authenticity in daily life.
- Enhanced Self-Confidence and Social Comfort: Patients often experience greater confidence in personal, professional, and social interactions after surgery. The ability to present oneself outwardly as one identifies inwardly can lead to improved mental well-being and an overall higher quality of life.
- Long-Lasting Structural Changes: Because facial feminization surgery modifies both bone and soft tissue, the results are permanent. Once healing is complete, these structural enhancements continue to evolve naturally with time, maintaining a refined and feminine appearance for years to come.
Before And After
Focal Points of Facial Feminization
Facial Feminization Surgery (FFS) involves harmonizing the facial structure by addressing specific features that typically define masculine or feminine characteristics. Dr. Javad Sajan evaluates each facial zone individually, ensuring that every adjustment complements the others and contributes to a cohesive, naturally feminine appearance.
When performing FFS, Dr. Sajan focuses on these key facial areas:
Hairline & Forehead:
A higher or prominent forehead and brow ridge often give a masculine appearance. Through hairline advancement and forehead contouring, Dr. Sajan smooths the brow bone and lowers the hairline to create softer, more balanced proportions. These refinements help achieve a smoother transition between the hairline and the upper face.
Brow & Eye Region:
The eyes are central to facial expression. Dr. Sajan elevates the brow position and refines the orbital bones to open the eyes and create a naturally feminine gaze. These subtle yet impactful changes bring lightness and delicacy to the upper face, reducing heaviness around the eyes.
Nose & Cheeks:
A narrower nasal bridge, refined tip, and fuller midface help establish classic feminine contours. Rhinoplasty and cheek augmentation work together to soften strong features while maintaining individuality. These enhancements bring symmetry and proportional harmony that gently complement the entire face.
Mouth & Jawline:
Lips and jaw structure strongly influence perceived femininity. Lip lift or augmentation procedures create a youthful curve to the lips, while jaw contouring softens angular or broad jawlines. These refinements reduce masculine definition without compromising strength or natural expression.
Neck & Chin:
The lower face and neck are key to achieving smooth transitions and graceful lines. Procedures such as a tracheal shave (Adam’s apple reduction) and chin reshaping reduce prominence and maintain balance with other facial features. The result is a smoother, more feminine neck and chin profile.
Each facial region is evaluated for how changes in one area affect overall facial symmetry and proportion. Dr. Sajan’s goal is to ensure that all refinements blend harmoniously, producing a natural, confident, and feminine appearance that aligns with the patient’s identity.
Facial Feminization Surgeries
Dr. Sajan offers a full suite of feminization procedures, which may be combined in one or staged over multiple sessions:
- Hair Transplant: Sometimes combined with hairline feminization, a hair transplant redistributes hair follicles to create a fuller, more defined hairline.
- Hairline Feminization: We can create a softer, more feminine frame by lowering the hairline and reshaping it to reduce the “M” shape common in masculine hairlines.
- Orbital Bone Reduction: This procedure contours the bones around the eye sockets to create a more open, feminine appearance.
- Brow Lift: A brow lift raises the eyebrows for a more youthful, traditionally feminine appearance.
- Brow Bone Reduction: Shaving or contouring the brow ridge makes the face appear smoother and less angular.
- Rhinoplasty: Often called a “nose job,” rhinoplasty refines the shape of the nose. We focus on subtle changes that harmonize it with the rest of the face.
- Jawline Feminization: A narrower jaw can significantly change how the face is perceived. This procedure usually involves shaving or contouring the jaw to a more graceful shape.
- Tracheal Shave: Also known as Adam’s apple reduction, this procedure softens the appearance of the neck, resulting in a smoother profile.
- Lip Feminization: Whether through fillers or surgical methods, enhancing the lips can add a gentle, feminine touch.
- Laser Hair Removal: For individuals struggling with facial hair, laser hair removal provides a more permanent solution to achieve smoother, hair-free skin.
