How Does Forehead Contouring in FFS Give the Face a Look?

In the process of facial feminization (FFS), the forehead contouring plays an important role in feminine or masculine facial features, although it is often unnoticed. Especially for transgender women, forehead contouring is a critical step to soften facial features and achieve a more balanced, feminine appearance and requires precise planning. So what exactly does this procedure offer for people who want to feminize their facial features and what effect does it add to the face?

Why is The Forehead Area Important in FFS?

The forehead area is one of the important areas that determine the perception of gender on the face. A masculine forehead structure is usually more protruding, flat and angular. Details such as the prominent forehead bone (frontal sinus), the sharp separation of the eyebrow line and the hairline starting behind the hairline can cause the face to look hard and masculine in general. This appearance is not desirable for people who want to look feminine.

A feminine forehead can be defined as follows:

• The forehead is rounded and soft,
• The brow ridge is less pronounced,
• The forehead surface is flatter and smoother,
• The hairline is lower and more curved in contrast to the masculine hairline.

Forehead contouring aims to smooth out these masculine features and give the face a more feminine look.

What is Forehead Contouring?

Forehead contouring is a comprehensive surgical procedure that involves filing and, if necessary, reshaping the forehead bone. Within the scope of this procedure:

• The protruding bone structure above the eyebrow (brow bossing) is reduced.
• The forehead is reshaped with a flatter, gentle arch.
• If necessary, the hairline is also brought forward and the length of the forehead is shortened.
• In some cases, the frontal sinus cavity is reconstructed and meticulously closed. This is a highly effective and versatile surgical procedure.

What is the contribution of forehead contouring to the face and who is it suitable for?

Forehead contouring generally focuses on a visible but natural change in facial contours. The most noticeable changes in the face thanks to this procedure are the following:

• The face looks more balanced and integrated: After forehead contouring, the appearance of the forehead becomes more harmonious in proportion to the nose and chin.
• The eyebrows create a softer eye frame: Harsh brow lines give way to a more elegant, raised eye contour.
• Facial expression becomes softer and more feminine: Instead of an angry or harsh expression, a more open, attractive and feminine look is achieved.

Forehead contouring provides the most remarkable transformation of the face, especially in individuals with a prominent forehead. Although this procedure is applied for anyone who wants a feminine forehead form, it is especially preferred for the following people:

• Those with a masculine, hard forehead,
• Those with protruding and prominent eyebrow area,
• Those with a distinct sharpness of facial features,
• It is ideal for trans women who want to benefit from the natural and permanent effect of facial feminization.

Things to Consider After Forehead Contouring

It is normal to experience swelling, numbness and mild pain for a few weeks after surgery. Following the instructions of Dr. MFO and his team during the healing process will reduce and control these effects. When the healing process is complete, the forehead becomes smoother and more harmonious with the facial contours and the results are visible. The scars can be easily hidden thanks to the incision, which is usually made close to the hairline, and from the outside it is almost imperceptible that a procedure has been performed.

Conclusion

Facial feminization is a whole; however, forehead contouring is one of the most important and remarkable parts of this whole. This visible, striking, yet natural-looking change gives trans women the feminine glow they have been waiting for and makes them feel more true and harmonious.

Remember: Every face has individual characteristics. Therefore, the planning of this procedure should be personalized to you. Correct, attentive and personalized interventions by Dr. MFO and his team will not only beautify your appearance, but also your view of yourself.
