Forehead & Brow
Forehead and brow features often shape how gender is perceived at first glance. Procedures can soften prominent bone contours, refine forehead shape, and lift the brows into a more feminine position. Planning is highly individualized, with careful attention to balance, expression, and long-term facial harmony across the entire upper face.

Nose procedures can bring softness and proportion to the center of the face. Feminizing rhinoplasty may refine width, smooth a hump, or adjust tip definition and rotation while keeping the result natural. The focus is harmony, not trends, so your nose complements your features and supports overall facial balance after healing.

Throat procedures, including tracheal shave, reduce the prominence of the Adam’s apple to create a smoother neck profile. For many patients, this is a meaningful step in reducing dysphoria and improving confidence. Surgical technique at FFS NYC prioritizes safety, discreet incision placement, and careful protection of voice function during healing.

Lips & Mouth
Procedures for the lips and mouth refine the center of the face, adding softness and feminine proportion. A lip lift can shorten the upper lip, improve tooth show, and enhance shape while keeping results natural. These subtle changes often create a brighter, more balanced expression that complements other facial feminization procedures beautifully.

Neck and lower face surgical techniques refine contour and restore softer lines where heaviness or laxity can affect facial balance. Options may include facelift, neck lift, and neck contouring to smooth folds, reduce jowling, and define the jawline. The goal is an elegant structure with natural movement and long-term stability.

Hairline procedures help frame the face with a softer, more traditionally feminine contour. Hairline advancement can reduce forehead height and round the temples, while hair transplantation can add density and fill recession. Planning considers hair type, growth patterns, and long-term stability to create a natural hairline that blends seamlessly over time.
