Understanding Facial Bone Contouring
The contour of facial bones can produce either a masculine or feminine look. For instance, a prominent jawline and brow bone may be considered masculine features. Facial feminization surgery can provide patients who identify as female with the contours and features typical of a woman’s face. Properly contoured, the forehead, nose, and jaw can become more delicate facial features that produce a long-lasting, feminine profile.
Exploring Facial Feminization Surgery (FFS)
While FFS can include procedures similar to other cosmetic surgeries, it addresses different concerns. The main purpose of facial feminization is to create a delicately contoured face, as opposed to a facelift, the focus of which is primarily a youthful complexion. During facial feminization surgery, Dr. Javad Sajan alters masculine features to appear more soft and delicate. FFS can successfully transform numerous facial areas, eliminating the need for separate procedures.
Who Qualifies For Facial Bone Contouring?
Individuals who qualify for facial bone contouring are patients seeking a long-term solution to masculine features. Facial contouring actively changes the cartilage and bone structure of the face, making it a permanent procedure. The best candidates for facial feminization are those dissatisfied with their looks. This dissatisfaction may occur with transgender and cisgender women who feel their features are too masculine and do not accurately reflect their gender identity.
