Facial Feminization Surgery in Montreal
Welcome to Facial Feminization Surgery in Montreal
Choosing to have SRS is an important step in your transformation. Complete gender reassignment does not only involve genital surgery but also breast, neck and face.
Male facial characteristics are a lot different than the female characteristics. The main differences arise not only from skin and facial fat but mostly fromtremendous bone specific male anatomy. In fact, males tend to have a more curved forehead with frontal bossing, a bigger and wider nasal bridge and coarser features of the lower jaw. Facial width is also greater than in women.
Although it is not possible to make the male skeleton look exactly like the women skeleton, some of the male features can be modified to achieve a more feminine look. Facial feminization surgery involves bony surgery to modify the structural anatomy on which the soft tissues lay to achieve the optimal result. Every patient is assessed and surgeries are planned according to the patient desires and expected results.
