Von Have you decided to have an FFS? If you are an MTF individual in gender transition and you want a feminine appearance to harmonise your face with your true identity, but you want it as soon as possible. If you are curious about FFS surgeries that provide the most effective feminine appearance in the shortest time, this article is for you!
A feminine face is the most effective tool for trans women to reflect their true identity in their social lives. The number of trans women who prefer FFS to achieve this image is increasing day by day. The increase in the demand for FFS worldwide lies in the increase in the desire to look young, beautiful and more feminine. Facial perception, which directly affects self-confidence, directs people to FFS. In FFS, some surgeries are more preferred with their fast and significant effects. In this article, we will discuss these surgeries. Here are the most preferred FFS surgeries that directly affect the feminine facial appearance!
1. Adam’s Apple Reduction
Adam’s apple reduction surgery, which directly affects the feminine appearance, is one of the most preferred surgeries of the FFS process. It is a protrusion consisting of cartilage on the front of the throat, which is seen in people who are assigned male at birth. Adam’s apple, also known as the laryngeal protrusion, becomes more prominent with adolescence, when the vocal cords and larynx grow, the voice deepens and thickens, and causes an undesirable appearance, especially for trans women. With this surgery, this cartilage is removed or in some cases reduced in order to get rid of this unwanted appearance.
2. Forehead Shortening
The forehead is an area that directly affects the gender perception of the face. For example, a long forehead can negatively affect the feminine facial appearance and add that masculine air that the person does not want. One of the reasons for this can also be caused by a high or receding hairline.
At this point, feminising the face by advancing the hairline and shortening the forehead is an extremely effective and wonderful technique. This technique involves removing a piece of skin from the top of the forehead and positioning the hairline closer to the eyebrow. Some people do not need the hairline to be advanced. They can achieve the feminine appearance of their forehead with only brow lift and ridge reduction.
3. Brow Lift and Eyelid Surgery
Brow lift and eyelid surgery can be an extremely useful technique for people who want a noticeable feminine face in a short time. This surgery aims for a shorter, more feminine forehead and more beautiful eyes by bringing the hairline and eyebrow closer. This type of surgery is usually performed under general anaesthesia.
Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) was a good choice for trans women who have low eyelids and tired looking eyes and want a more feminine looking eye structure. This surgery tightens the skin. It also reshapes the fat deposits in and around the eyelids, aiming for a more pleasing and firmer eye structure.
4. Jawbone/Chin Contouring
For transgender women, Jawbone or chin contouring provides highly effective and eye-catching results. In a feminine face, the chin area is smaller and rounder, while the male chin can be more pointed, large and sharp. This can mean a negative situation for trans women. The chin bone or chin contouring procedure, which comes into play at this point, reshapes the masculine chin angles by reducing them using a milling cutter through small incisions in the mouth. As in almost every plastic surgery process, the process here is shaped individually.
5. Rhinoplasty
The nose is an extremely important FFS procedure that directly affects the perception of the face. Rhinoplasty is an extremely important surgery in achieving the desired facial appearance. Rhinoplasty can resize or reshape the nose for a targeted and feminine looking nose and face. Rhinoplasty is a complex but very common cosmetic procedure. In addition, the change in results is immediately noticeable. Finding an expert and board-certified surgeon for your FFS procedures, including this surgery, is very important for the results.

Complications of Facial Feminisation Surgery: Risks of FFS
When the FFS process is considered in terms of risks, there may be some complications as in other surgical procedures. Although they are rarely encountered, knowing the risks can be beneficial for your safety and health:
- Abnormal bleeding is very rare but can occur, especially in surgeries involving the forehead, scalp and jaw. However, this can be treated.
- Scars are hidden in natural folds or in the hair, especially by successful and experienced surgeons. However, in rare cases, prominent scars may occur in some cases.
- Infections, which can occur in almost every surgery, can be minimised with good care.
- Temporary numbness or tingling is common in areas such as the scalp, chin or jaw, but this is temporary as healing progresses.
In addition to these major risks, each operation has its own inherent risks. Evaluating these risks together with your chosen surgeon, addressing your current health condition eliminates risk factors.
Abschluss
Remember that the FFS process is a long-lasting and patience-requiring adventure. However, in terms of the results of some surgeries of this long-term, inclusive process, effective and visible effects are obtained in a short time. However, for a complete and balanced face, it is necessary to evaluate the FFS as a whole and to continue this adventure with an experienced surgeon. Rhinoplasty alone is effective, but a complete FFS is important for more effective results and long-term realisation of your goals.
