Thanks to advanced technology, even those who were born with the most masculine face can change their face to become more feminine
The face is the most important feature. It is something people notice you for, and something people recognize you from. It would look a little out of place if you have undergone male-to-female sex change but still keep the face of the man you once were.
This is why facial feminization surgery (FFS) is as important as any other procedure. It helps you achieve a more natural looking result overall. The purpose of FFS is to eliminate or reduce many of the cross-gender-related features of the facial bones caused by hormone-driven masculinization.
FFS has any procedures such as brow bone shaving, nose shaving and reduction, nostrils reduction, jaw angle shaving, lips enlargement, chin augmentation, forehead lift, face lift, eyelids surgery, cheek bone augmentation or reduction, and Adam’s apple shaving.
Since it involves so many processes, only skilled doctors can help you achieve the face you aim for. Each of these complicated surgeries requires high skills and experience in this specific field.
As an expert in cosmetic surgery, Dr. Pichet focuses on how to adjust the dimensional parameters of each face towards the normal female range, based on certain physical anthropological measurements, human males’ faces with protruding brow ridges and heavy jaws/chins and human females’ faces with better unobstructed peripheral vision (with the eyes more forward in the facial structure, and with no brow ridge). These differences in secondary sex characteristics are caused by the different sex hormones present in the bodies of boys and girls after puberty.
However, there are still some limits. For example, a wide jaw can be feminized by surgical narrowing but it may not be physically possible to narrow a very wide jaw enough to make it fully female. There are also some masculine facial features that cannot be surgically feminized at all like the relative size of the eyes to the skull.
The point is not to make the face look as feminine as possible, but to look as naturally compatible with the new body as possible. The most beautiful face is the most natural one, so it is important that the surgeon knows enough about gender-based physical anthropological measurements. Once the bones have been shaved or reconstructed, it is very difficult to undo them, so it is best to place your trust on qualified and experienced surgeons only.
