Facial Feminization Surgery in Greece

What are the types of Facial Feminization Surgery?
Facial feminization surgery typically involves nose, chin, jaw, lip and cheek enhancement. The most common Facial Feminization Surgery procedures are:

• Trachea shave: A trachea shave as part of facial feminization surgery is used to reduce the prominence of an Adam’s apple. A trachea shave is completed under sedation and the thyroid cartilage is shaved in order to reduce it.
• Jaw shave: A jaw shave, or mandibular angle reduction, reduces the size of the jaw and changes its shape to rounder and narrower. A jaw shave is carried out through incisions in the mouth or under the jaw.
• Chin recontouring: Facial feminization surgery may include chin shaving and chin implants to alter the shape of the chin. With chin shaving, the surgeon cuts the bone and moves it forward or back to correct the appearance of the chin. Chin implants are placed in the chin through cuts in the lower gums. Liposuction may also be carried out to remove excess fat from beneath the chin.
• Brow lift: A brow lift is often performed as part of facial feminization surgery to raise the eyebrows and tighten the skin on the forehead.
• Forehead bossing: This form of facial feminization surgery, also called brow bossing, is carried out by shaving and altering the bone in the forehead and by adding implants to smooth the appearance of the forehead.
• Scalp advancement: Scalp advancement, or hairline correction, reshapes the hairline by lifting and bringing it forward for a more feminine appearance. An eyebrow lift can be carried out at the same time as scalp advancement.
• Rhinoplasty: A standard nose job or rhinoplasty procedure is carried out to make the nose more feminine in appearance.
• Cheek augmentation: The cheeks are filled with implants to soften the features and create a more proportionate and feminine face.
• Lip lift: A lip lift raises the lip by shortening the gap between the tip of the nose and the top lip. Lips can also be made fuller with the addition of implants or injections.

Facial feminization surgery may require a number of procedures before the final results are achieved, depending on the needs of the patient.
