تحديد الجبهة: نتائج فعالة لإطلالة أنثوية

As a transgender woman on the journey of transition, are you wondering how much forehead contouring affects a feminine appearance? In this article we will try to answer your question.

The FFS process is an extremely inclusive and promising set of procedures, especially for trans women. There are many surgeries in this comprehensive procedure, and some of them, when performed simultaneously, produce excellent results. A feminine appearance is an important goal for anyone who wants to express their femininity. At this point, forehead reshaping is one of the indispensable surgeries for a feminine face. It is also useful to get to know the forehead recontouring surgery closely to better understand whether you need this surgery.

What is Forehead Contouring for Trans Women?

Although the face is a whole, it is possible to see that when the regions that complete this whole are considered separately, it is possible to see that special demands and procedures arise. For example, the upper region (we can say forehead and eyebrow region), which is one third of the face, plays an important role in determining the gender perception of the face as in other regions.

At this point, forehead contouring aims to transform a masculine face into a more feminine form. Contouring includes techniques such as forehead reduction or augmentation, orbital contouring and hairline adjustment and works to reshape the forehead. Traditionally, surgeons have used an open technique, but thanks to advancing technology, newer innovations such as endoscopic procedures and specialised implants offer simpler alternatives for patients with mild imperfections. Although forehead contouring procedures are close to the frontal sinus and cranial vault, side effects are minimal.

Various procedures are used for forehead contouring:

1. The most important of these procedures is the contouring type, which is applied by placing an implant in the centre of the forehead to improve the curve of the forehead. In this type of procedure, injectable material, fat grafts or permanent implants are used.
2. In the second procedure, the bone above the eye and frontal sinus areas is shaved. This bone can be reduced by about 3-5 mm. In addition, the incision is hidden behind the hairline.
3. The third procedure is used when the bone in the forehead area is too thin to shave. The existing bone is removed, reshaped and then replaced.

Forehead feminization surgery reshapes the forehead by reducing the size of the brow ridge, frontal sinus and orbital margins, making it smooth. It also aims for a more feminine face while creating a balanced appearance. The personalised procedures used are shaped according to the anatomy of the person. In this type of surgery, the incisions are made behind the hairline, thus hiding the scars. The surgery is performed through incisions made behind the hairline to minimise the visibility of scars. In this way, the least invasive procedure possible is performed.

What is the Operation Process in Forehead Contouring?

We will answer this question for you in 3 stages:

Preoperative Preparation in Forehead Contouring :

Preparing for forehead contouring is an important stage to achieve the best result. At this stage, it may be useful for you to follow these steps:

• Contact an expert and successful surgeon to discuss your expectations for the results of the surgery, your health status and your ongoing treatments
• Then it will be useful to have the tests your surgeon deems necessary, your physical and psychological examination to learn your general health status.
• It is very important to avoid harmful substances and foods before the operation. In particular, give up or reduce your intake of alcohol.
• Avoiding blood thinners and all kinds of foods will also reduce the risk of possible bleeding and swelling.
• You should stop feeding at least 6 hours before the operation.

During the Operation:

The operation takes approximately 2-3 hours. However, this may vary according to the condition of the person and the content of the surgery.

After the Surgery:

Paying attention to the following points after the surgery is very important in accelerating the healing process and ensuring that the results meet your expectations:

• You should avoid strenuous exercise and activities in the first month.
• You can apply ice compress to the area to reduce swelling and discomfort in the first days after surgery.
• You should keep your head elevated for at least 1-2 weeks to reduce postoperative swelling.
• During the healing process, be careful when wearing your clothes to prevent irritation of the skin in the forehead area. It is also very important to protect your head area against bumps and traumas.

Apart from these main points, following your surgeon’s instructions exactly will provide you with a well-progressing healing process and will help you achieve better results. After the operation, you can return to your daily life within two weeks. However, it will be beneficial to avoid heavy exercises for at least six weeks for a complete recovery. Visible changes begin about 3 months after the surgery and these changes can last up to 12 months.

What are the Risks and Complications of Forehead Contouring?

Side effects in this surgery are usually minimal, but as with any surgical procedure, there is a risk of bleeding, infection or unexpected reaction to anaesthesia. In addition to these, it is also useful to mention other complications:

• In rare cases, stitches may break after the operation.
• The scar may become visible in some cases.
• Edema may occur under the skin.
• Mild damage to facial nerves and tissues may occur.
• In some cases, additional surgical procedures may be required for better results.
