Forehead Feminization Surgery (FFS), an integral part of facial feminization, aims for dramatic aesthetic improvement in the upper third of the face. It is undergone by transgender females who want a male-to-female face transition. Its overall goal is to modify the masculine-looking forehead and brow area and make them look like typical female facial features. To understand it better, learn about how a typical male and female forehead looks and what changes are apparent post forehead reconstruction in India here.

The Gender-Based Differences in the Appearance of the Forehead

Size: A typical male forehead is large, at greater height and width, and so more prominent than a typical female forehead.

• Shape: The frontal bone in a masculine face is sloped backward and so more angular and receding, whereas it is more rounded and vertically oriented in the case of a feminine face.
• Hairline: A masculine forehead has a slightly receded, higher hairline; conversely, a feminine forehead has a downward-sloping, lower hairline.
• Brow Ridge: A typical male’s face has deeper-set eyes because of a prominent supraorbital ridge (bony eyebrow ridge). On the flip side, a typical female’s face has a smooth forehead contour because of a less prominent or absent supraorbital ridge.
• Glabella: A masculine forehead has a more prominent area between the eyebrows (the glabella) than a feminine forehead.

The Changes Brought on By Forehead Feminization Surgery

A forehead feminization surgery involves the following:

• Hairline lowering- Through an incision along the hairline, a section of scalp and skin is removed to lower the hairline and make the forehead appear smaller.

• Forehead contouring- It involves shaving or reshaping of the bony brow ridge or its removal and replacement with bone graft to soften the angularity and reduce the prominence of the brow area.

• Brow lift- It involves raising the eyebrows, making them more arched and lifted as a typical feminine trait.
