What is Facial Feminization?
Facial feminization is a collection of different procedures that primarily aim to eliminate a person’s masculine facial features to create a more feminine visage. Although biological women may opt for these procedures, they are particularly beneficial to the transgender community.
Common Male Facial Features
The most common markers of male gender include brow bone bossing, a straight, large convex nose profile with overly projected nasal tips, a visible Adam’s apple, prominent mandibles, and a very chiseled face. Men generally have longer faces than women.
Male foreheads tend to have a prominent ridge running across the forehead above the eyes (brow bone bossing), while female foreheads tend to be smoother and flatter with little or no bossing. Male chins are usually square, whereas female chins are round and pointy.
How Facial Feminization Works
Facial feminization works by reducing bone and manipulating the skeletal framework. The procedures aim to transform a masculine face into a feminine one, aligning a person’s external appearance with their inner identity.
The Importance of Facial Feminization
Facial feminization is a reliable solution that significantly changes one’s facial features from very manly to womanly. It helps someone become her true self—a woman. This procedure is neither a whim nor an expensive luxury; it is a vital medical intervention for a person transitioning from male to female to create harmony between her outer and inner self.
The success of facial feminization surgery can be gauged when a transgender person is identified and treated as a woman by those around her. It allows her to function and live as a woman with total acceptance from society, thus achieving a quality life. This is known as passing the real-life experience.
