Facial Feminization Alaska

Facial features are one of the first things we notice about a person. Subconsciously, our brains are hard-wired to memorize faces, as they are the most significant factor in first impressions. For transgender women, facial structure can be one of the most challenging hurdles to overcome with gender affirmation. Although they present and are female, bone structure and genetics can create unwanted masculinity in the face.

Dr. Sajan at Allure Esthetic specializes in facial feminization surgery to help bring soft and womanly features to every patient's face. Through precision and expertise, he alters the structure of the face and allows patients to look precisely how they feel.

There’s not a lot of information on facial feminization, and what is out there can be confusing. Essentially, facial feminization in Alaska is a series of techniques and surgeries used to bring a feminine quality to the face. Many surgeries can be used during this process, and each one alters a different cosmetic concern.

The emotional damage a transgender woman faces can be devastating. Being misgendered is a severe issue that can create feelings of embarrassment and lack of identity. Every person deserves to feel happy with their appearance and proud of who they are. There is no reason for people, especially transgender women, to feel embarrassed about who they are.

Dr. Sajan is passionate about bringing that sense of harmony and self-love to all his facial feminization patients. He knows each surgery's gravity and intricate nature and provides a tailor-made plan for every patient.

What Does Alaska Facial Feminization Address?

Facial feminization addresses a large number of areas across the face. Because every patient is different and has a unique bone structure, the surgeries a patient can undergo will vary. However, some common differences between male and female faces are:

• Eyebrows: Men’s eyebrows and brow bones stand out more and sit closer to the eyes than women’s.
• Nose: A woman’s nose is commonly smaller and turns upward, whereas a man’s is broader and flatter.
• Jawline: A man tends to have an angular and heavily defined jawline, while a woman’s is full-toned and soft.
• Orbital Bone: For a man, the orbital bone protrudes further from the face than compared to a woman’s.

There are many other areas where men's and women’s facial structures differ. However, these prominent features are a leading cause of gender dysphoria and misgendering. Dr. Sajan can create a beautifully crafted, feminine face through transformative surgeries.

Why Get Facial Feminization?

The idea of undergoing any type of surgery can be frightening, and for Alaska facial feminization patients, this can add to the mounting stress. While facial feminization does include many in-depth procedures, all of Dr. Sajan’s patients agree that the benefits were more than worth it.

Facial feminization brings the best gender-affirming care to patients who feel they can not accurately be themselves. It creates stunning and feminine features uniquely designed to fit the patient’s genetics and bone structure. Statistics show that receiving gender-affirming surgery dramatically improves the quality of life for transgender women, eliminates gender dysphoria, and brings a newfound sense of strength and confidence.

These surgeries are done all at once, so patients don’t have to worry about undergoing multiple surgeries over a long period of time. Additionally, Dr. Sajan uses the top technology and techniques to ensure the patient’s safety and results.

Before patients receive facial feminization, they will attend a consultation with Dr. Sajan. This consultation will help him ensure the patient is healthy enough to undergo the procedures and understand the perfect surgeries the patient requires to achieve their goals. Once the plan has been fine-tuned, Dr. Sajan will schedule a date for the surgery and provide a personalized quote for the entire surgical plan. The procedures Dr. Sajan can use to achieve facial feminization are listed below.

Jawline Feminization

During jawline feminization, sections of the jawbone are surgically shaved and shaped to eliminate the harsh lines and square shape of a male jaw. Jaw fillers are sometimes implemented to create a softer-appearing jaw.

Lip Feminization

Lip feminization surgically shortens the distance between the upper lip and the tip of the nose and can also insert lip fillers to create feminine, “bow-like” lips.

Rhinoplasty

Facial feminization in Alaska often includes A nose job due to the stark contrasts between male and female noses. Dr. Sajan can create a slender nose for patients and provide a delicate tip of the nose for added femininity.

Orbital Bone Reduction

During an orbital bone reduction, the orbital bones will be shaved down to eliminate unwanted protrusion and male distinction. It’s common for an orbital bone reduction to be performed with a brow bone reduction, as reducing the orbital bones or brow bones without the other can create an unwanted aesthetic appearance.

Brow Bone Reduction

A brow bone reduction involves surgically shaving down the brow bone to create a thin, delicate brow line. This eliminates unwanted, masculine protrusion of the orbital bones.

Brow Lift

During a brow lift, Alaska, the brows are moved upward on the forehead and given a more prominent arch. Dr. Sajan uses this procedure to create a feminine shape and location for the eyebrows.

Hairline Feminization

Hairline feminization can include surgical techniques like scalp reduction and hair transplant to achieve a stunning, feminine hairline. The scalp reduction shortens the space of the forehead, and the hair transplant adds volume to the hairline. This eliminates any male-specific hairline structures.

Tracheal Shave

The Adam’s apple is one of the most predominant male characteristics around the facial region. During a tracheal shave, Dr. Sajan surgically shaves down the cartilage surrounding the Adam’s apple, dramatically reducing its appearance. While the Adam’s apple cannot be removed safely, Dr. Sajan uses the top techniques to eliminate its visibility.

Laser Hair Removal

Many transgender patients struggle with the male trait of facial hair. Laser hair removal can be performed separately from the rest of Alaska's facial feminization to eliminate facial hair and provide beautiful, smooth skin. Most patients will ultimately require multiple treatments to get rid of facial hair growth.

Is Facial Feminization Covered By Insurance?

Allure Esthetic accepts almost all private insurance companies and works with patients to help them afford the surgery. Most major insurances cover facial feminization and help patients create a payment plan.

What Are The Risks of Alaska Facial Feminization?

Other than the generic surgical risks of reactions to anesthesia, infection, and prolonged side effects, facial feminization does not have many risks. Because Dr. Sajan requires in-depth medical reports, he ensures the safety of every patient. Working with a skilled cosmetic surgeon is the best way to avoid major risks, and Dr. Sajan provides the care and techniques required to perform a successful facial feminization surgery.

How Long Will My Facial Feminization Results Last?

Facial feminization in Alaska is a permanent procedure. Altering cartilage and bone in the face cannot be reversed, and the results will last for the patient’s lifetime. However, with specific procedures like a brow lift or lip fillers, the patient may need follow-up treatments years later. This is common for women who are beginning to show signs of aging.
