One of the most important things that make us unique is the ability to transition someone from male to female. Based on Dr. Young’s theory on facial beauty called the Circles of Prominence, his knowledge of beauty compares to having the right architectural plans to build a beautiful house.
There are many procedures that can help you look more feminine. Rhinoplasty can be one of the procedures that can have a major impact in your facial feminization and transition from male to female. There are three anatomic units that play a major role in beauty: the eyes, nose and mouth. Of those three, the nose is central, plays a huge part in the balance of the face and the easiest to make the most significant change. However, rhinoplasty is not an easy technique.
Changing the brows and its prominence through a brow lift and brow lifting techniques can make a significant change in your quest to feminize your face. Prominent brows and low lying brows are masculine. Changing these two elements through bone reduction and brow lifting can be dramatic.
Lip augmentation through silicone lip implants or the lip VY advancement can have a big impact on making you look more feminine. The lips are one of the three major anatomic elements in the face. From a sexual and facial feminization standpoint, it may be the most important. The mouth and lips are a structure that is affiliated with basic functions like eating and breathing. There are animalistic associations related to the mouth. Changes in the lips can have a powerful sexual effect and feminization and masculinization effect for that matter.
Chin and jawline reduction can change the face dramatically to have a more female appearance. The lower third of the face is an area that significantly impacts a person’s appearance as a male or a female. When we look at our theories of beauty, the lower third of the face has a big effect in tipping the point on how a man and woman may look like. A chin and jawline reduction can be a powerful tool in facial feminization and changing your look from male to female.

Cheek implants and augmentation can influence the appearance of one’s face to make it look more feminine or masculine. High broad cheekbones highlight the eyes and create a heart shape to the face, a feminine facial trait. A square shaped face and flat cheek bones is more masculine. Cheek implants can create this high and broad appearance in the cheeks and feminize the face.
