Facial Feminization Surgery Explained
There’s not a lot of information on facial feminization, and what is out there can be confusing. Essentially, facial feminization in Alaska is a series of techniques and surgeries used to bring a feminine quality to the face. Many surgeries can be used during this process, and each one alters a different cosmetic concern.
The emotional damage a transgender woman faces can be devastating. Being misgendered is a severe issue that can create feelings of embarrassment and lack of identity. Every person deserves to feel happy with their appearance and proud of who they are. There is no reason for people, especially transgender women, to feel embarrassed about who they are.
Dr. Sajan is passionate about bringing that sense of harmony and self-love to all his facial feminization patients. He knows each surgery’s gravity and intricate nature and provides a tailor-made plan for every patient.
What Does Alaska Facial Feminization Address?
Facial feminization addresses a large number of areas across the face. Because every patient is different and has a unique bone structure, the surgeries a patient can undergo will vary. However, some common differences between male and female faces are:
- Eyebrows: Men’s eyebrows and brow bones stand out more and sit closer to the eyes than women’s.
- Nose: A woman’s nose is commonly smaller and turns upward, whereas a man’s is broader and flatter.
- Jawline: A man tends to have an angular and heavily defined jawline, while a woman’s is full-toned and soft.
- Orbital Bone: For a man, the orbital bone protrudes further from the face than compared to a woman’s.
There are many other areas where men’s and women’s facial structures differ. However, these prominent features are a leading cause of gender dysphoria and misgendering. Dr. Sajan can create a beautifully crafted, feminine face through transformative surgeries.
Why Get Facial Feminization?
The idea of undergoing any type of surgery can be frightening, and for Alaska facial feminization patients, this can add to the mounting stress. While facial feminization does include many in-depth procedures, all of Dr. Sajan’s patients agree that the benefits were more than worth it.
Facial feminization brings the best gender-affirming care to patients who feel they can not accurately be themselves. It creates stunning and feminine features uniquely designed to fit the patient’s genetics and bone structure. Statistics show that receiving gender-affirming surgery dramatically improves the quality of life for transgender women, eliminates gender dysphoria, and brings a newfound sense of strength and confidence.
These surgeries are done all at once, so patients don’t have to worry about undergoing multiple surgeries over a long period of time. Additionally, Dr. Sajan uses the top technology and techniques to ensure the patient’s safety and results.
Facial Feminization Surgeries in Alaska
Before patients receive facial feminization, they will attend a consultation with Dr. Sajan. This consultation will help him ensure the patient is healthy enough to undergo the procedures and understand the perfect surgeries the patient requires to achieve their goals. Once the plan has been fine-tuned, Dr. Sajan will schedule a date for the surgery and provide a personalized quote for the entire surgical plan. The procedures Dr. Sajan can use to achieve facial feminization are listed below.
During jawline feminization, sections of the jawbone are surgically shaved and shaped to eliminate the harsh lines and square shape of a male jaw. Jaw fillers are sometimes implemented to create a softer-appearing jaw.
Lip feminization surgically shortens the distance between the upper lip and the tip of the nose and can also insert lip fillers to create feminine, “bow-like” lips.
Facial feminization in Alaska often includes A nose job due to the stark contrasts between male and female noses. Dr. Sajan can create a slender nose for patients and provide a delicate tip of the nose for added femininity.
Orbital Bone Reduction
During an orbital bone reduction, the orbital bones will be shaved down to eliminate unwanted protrusion and male distinction. It’s common for an orbital bone reduction to be performed with a brow bone reduction, as reducing the orbital bones or brow bones without the other can create an unwanted aesthetic appearance.
A brow bone reduction involves surgically shaving down the brow bone to create a thin, delicate brow line. This eliminates unwanted, masculine protrusion of the orbital bones.
During a brow lift, Alaska, the brows are moved upward on the forehead and given a more prominent arch. Dr. Sajan uses this procedure to create a feminine shape and location for the eyebrows.
Hairline feminization can include surgical techniques like scalp reduction and hair transplant to achieve a stunning, feminine hairline. The scalp reduction shortens the space of the forehead, and the hair transplant adds volume to the hairline. This eliminates any male-specific hairline structures.
The Adam’s apple is one of the most predominant male characteristics around the facial region. During a tracheal shave, Dr. Sajan surgically shaves down the cartilage surrounding the Adam’s apple, dramatically reducing its appearance. While the Adam’s apple cannot be removed safely, Dr. Sajan uses the top techniques to eliminate its visibility.
Many transgender patients struggle with the male trait of facial hair. Laser hair removal can be performed separately from the rest of Alaska’s facial feminization to eliminate facial hair and provide beautiful, smooth skin. Most patients will ultimately require multiple treatments to get rid of facial hair growth.
Alaska Facial Feminization Healing Process
Facial feminization is a series of surgeries that include many in-depth procedures. Therefore patients should expect the recovery process to be long and more extensive. However, in the hands of an expert cosmetic surgeon like Dr. Sajan, patients will be cared for, and their recovery process can be more manageable. He will also include a list of post-operative instructions for every facial feminization patient in Alaska and medication to ease any pain patients might experience. Some of these instructions will include:
- Wear a provided face covering until taken off during a follow-up appointment
- Keep head raised and elevated
- Move around or walk every few hours
- Do not exercise
- Avoid any exposure to direct sunlight
- Do not bend over or apply any pressure to the head

Risks of Facial Feminization Surgery
There are inherent risks that come with every surgery, but no distinct risks come with Alaska facial feminization surgery. During the consultation, Dr. Sajan will acquire the patient’s medical records and perform a thorough exam to ensure no underlying conditions could interfere with the surgery. There is always the risk of an adverse reaction to the anesthesia, but as long as the patient is healthy, they can undergo the procedure.
Longevity of Facial Feminization Surgery in Alaska
Many patients worry about the longevity of facial feminization surgery. However, the procedure is permanent, as altering bones and cartilage cannot change over time or be reversed. Brow lifts and lip injections can change with age, but this is normal for older women. These procedures can always be redone.
