Forehead Reshaping

Forehead reshaping for facial feminization

There are a few surgical procedures that can be done to feminize the face. One of these is forehead reshaping. This procedure can help to make the forehead look smaller and more delicate. The prominent (masculine) brow ridge is brought back, and frequently the eyebrows are raised concurrently (“Brow lift”).  It also helps to give the appearance of a higher, more feminine hairline. Dr. Derek Steinbacher may recommend this treatment for patients seeking a more feminine appearance to the face during their transition. He helps Guilford, Connecticut, patients determine if this or other facial feminization procedures are beneficial to their unique needs and goals.

What is done during forehead reshaping?

Forehead reshaping is usually done by removing some of the bone in the forehead and then shaping it into a more feminine curve. It might also be necessary to remove some skin from the forehead in some cases. This procedure can be accomplished using surgical techniques that are done to reduce the scarring left behind. In most cases, Dr. Derek Steinbacher will make incisions along areas where they will be hidden, such as just at or behind the hairline or the ears. This can help reduce the appearance of scars that may be telltale signs of plastic surgery.

Most people are happy with the results of forehead reshaping for facial feminization. However, it is critical to remember that everyone’s face is different, so you may not get the exact results you are hoping for. It is essential to talk to your surgeon about what you can expect from the surgery.
