How Liposuction Can Play A Role In Facial Feminization Surgery

By: Cathy Trebble Home | Health-and-Fitness


Facial Feminization Surgery is a specialized surgery used to help transgender male-to-female individuals reverse the visual effects of testosterone on their facial appearance. Facial Feminization liposuction is something that has only just come to the fore as far as cosmetic surgery in general is concerned. This cosmetic surgery gives its recipients the chance to look more like they really feel inside.

During their gender reassignment, transsexual individuals undergo a number of radical operations. The most important one of these of course does not involve liposuction - but there are a number of feminine facial and body characteristics that individuals who are born the opposite sex need to work on. This is where liposuction and in particular, fat transplantation can help to complete the transformation.

Lipo can help give a trim midline, shape the breasts and, most interestingly, shape the face. The surgery that many male-to-female transsexual individuals choose to undergo is Facial Feminization Surgery. This procedure is made up of different parts, including bone reshaping in the jaw line and nose. Facial liposuction can help during jaw line reshaping and also with the redistribution of fat in the rest of the face. Since women by nature have more of a soft, delicate facial outline, this needs to be recreated with the help of surgery where testosterone has previously had an effect.

Out of all of the procedures carried out during Facial Feminization Surgery, liposuction can be one of the easiest procedures to recover from. Usually on the face, very small cannulas are used - a little like Vaser Hi Def. If you choose to opt for something like Vaser lipo, the ultrasound used in the method will help to break up the fat before it is extracted, avoiding a lot of the vigorous agitation used in older methods. This gentler procedure leads to less bruising and a lot fewer complications.

Chin lipo can be used in combination with surgery to reduce the size of the chin bone, and this combination of procedures can produce some really nice results for the patient. Cheek lipo can bring out the cheekbones nicely, and of course fat redistribution and transplantation can give the desired result of softening the facial features to a much more feminine ideal. If one of the more modern lipo techniques such as Smartlipo or Vaser liposuction is used, scars can be minimized, so that's just one less thing to worry about.

Make sure you research your options thoroughly when you are considering facial feminization surgery, especially in regard to the modern liposuction techniques now available.
