What is facial feminization?

While there is no right or wrong way to look like a woman, the shape of certain features do create a more traditionally feminine or masculine aesthetic, depending on their dimensions, placement and shape. Men tend to have wider jaws, stronger noses, higher foreheads, flatter cheeks, and thinner lips. Women tend to have more heart-shaped faces with softer features.

Facial feminization for transgender women is a wonderful way to enhance the appearance and feel more confident in one’s skin. It is a set of several procedures performed at once and can include changes to the chin, cheeks, forehead, nose and the lips. Each procedure is highly customized, so Dr. Saigal will meet with you for an in-depth consultation, during which he will listen carefully to your concerns and make his best recommendation for improvement.

Chondrolaryngoplasty

Chondrolaryngoplasty is the medical name for the procedure to reduce the projection of an Adam’s apple. It is often referred to as a “tracheal shave.” The procedure involves placing a small incision at the throat, and then meticulously shaving off some of the cartilage that creates a projecting Adam’s apple – considered a masculine feature. A tracheal shave is one of the procedures performed in a custom facial feminization performed by Dr. Saigal.

A feminine neck structure is smooth and does not have a larger, projecting Adam’s Apple. This feature typically develops in men during puberty. The surgery involves shaving thin layers of cartilage off the projection to create a more feminine, smooth appearance to the neck profile.

Facial feminization is surgery for people who want to soften their features into a look or shape that is traditionally recognized as feminine. Just as you are unique, facial feminization is a surgery that is unique to you and is tailored to your needs. Facial feminization generally revolves around creating more refined contours on the face and neck, changing nose shape and bone structure. It can also sometimes incorporate soft tissue surgeries, such as a facelift or neck lift.

In consultation with you, he will work to determine the procedures that will best help you achieve your ultimate health goals and outcomes. His procedures are geared to create the least amount of scarring. Some of the components that could be part of your facial feminization are:

Lip Lift: This reduces the distance between the base of the nose and the upper lip. It also changes the orientation of the lips for a more feminine, upward curl.
Tracheal Shave: Dr. Saigal can help reduce the appearance of the Adam’s apple.
