Transgender Cosmetic Surgery
Transgender cosmetic surgery includes a range of procedures. The goal is to match physical appearance with an individual’s gender identity. These cosmetic procedures include both surgical and non-surgical options. They can also target many different parts of the body.
Procedimientos de embellecimiento facial
Transgender facial enhancement procedures help individuals match their outer appearance with their gender identity. These procedures can be subtle or more noticeable. They allow individuals to express themselves and feel affirmed. They include many types of surgeries. Facial feminization surgery softens masculine features. On the other hand, facial masculinization enhances masculine traits. Non-surgical options like fillers and lasers are also available. Each procedure is customized to fit your specific needs and goals.
Blepharoplasty:
Blepharoplasty is known as eyelid surgery. It rejuvenates the appearance of the eyelids. It involves removing excess skin, fat and muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids. This addresses issues such as drooping eyelids, puffiness and bags under the eyes. By restoring a refreshed look to the eyes, blepharoplasty can enhance overall facial appearance.
Brow Lift:
A brow lift is also known as a forehead lift. During a brow lift, excess skin is removed and underlying muscles are adjusted to elevate the eyebrows and smooth out forehead wrinkles and furrows. This procedure can help open up the eyes and provide a subtle lift to the upper face.
Face Lift:
A facelift reduces the signs of aging on the face and neck. It involves lifting and tightening the underlying muscles and tissues and removing excess skin to smooth out wrinkles and sagging. Facelifts can restore a youthful contour to the face, addressing common concerns such as jowls, deep creases and loose skin.
Neck Lift:
A neck lift changes the appearance of the neck area. Excess skin and fat are removed and the underlying muscles may be tightened to address sagging and wrinkles. This procedure can effectively improve the contour of the neck, reduce the appearance of jowls and create a smoother, more defined jawline, creating a more balanced profile.
Transferencia de grasa facial:
Facial fat transfer, also known as fat grafting or fat injection, involves transferring fat from one part of the body to the face. This restores volume and enhances facial contours. Fat is taken from areas like the abdomen or thighs through liposuction, processed and then injected into targeted areas of the face to fill in wrinkles, hollows and areas of volume loss. This natural approach offers long-lasting results as the transferred fat integrates with surrounding tissues.
Otoplasty:
Otoplasty reshapes the ears to improve their appearance or correct deformities. It is performed to address prominent ears by pinning them back closer to the head or reducing their size.
Aumento de labios:
Lip augmentation enhances the size, shape and fullness of the lips through various techniques, including injectable fillers, fat grafting, or surgical implants. By adding volume to the lips, lip augmentation can create a more defined lip contour, improve symmetry and achieve a plumper appearance.
Procedimientos estéticos craneofaciales
Aesthetic craniofacial procedures change the appearance of the skull and face. These reconstructive surgery options may include reshaping the bones of the skull, forehead, nose, jaw and chin. They are chosen to improve facial symmetry, proportions and overall harmony. These types of procedures can have a big impact on self-confidence. This improves the quality of life for transgender and non-binary individuals.
Contorno de la frente:
Forehead contouring changes the shape of the forehead. It typically involves brow bone reduction and forehead augmentation, which can be achieved through bone contouring, implants, or fat grafting. Forehead contouring can address forehead protrusion, asymmetry, or lack of definition. It creates a more proportionate look.
Rhinoplasty is often referred to as a nose job. Nose reshaping or resizing improves appearance and/or function. It can address many concerns, including nasal asymmetry, dorsal humps, bulbous tips, or breathing difficulties.
Contorno mandibular:
Mandible contouring refers to jawline contouring or reshaping. It changes the shape or size of the lower jaw. This enhances or softens facial features. Jaw reduction or augmentation are two common techniques used to reshape the bone structure of the mandible through procedures such as jaw reduction or augmentation.
Chin Surgery:
Chin surgery is also known as genioplasty or mentoplasty. This type of cosmetic surgery reshapes or repositions the chin. It can involve chin augmentation using implants or fat grafting. This will increase chin projection or chin reduction to address a large or asymmetrical chin. By shaping the chin to fit in with the rest of the facial features, chin surgery can improve facial balance.
Tratamientos de aumento mamario
Breast enhancement treatments include surgical and non-surgical procedures. They alter the size, shape and appearance of the breasts. Common treatments include breast augmentation with implants or fat grafting. Other options are a breast lift to correct sagging and breast reduction to alleviate discomfort. All help to achieve a more proportionate silhouette. These treatments are tailored to meet individual preferences and address specific concerns.
Breast augmentation enhances the size and shape of the breasts using implants or fat grafting. It is often used to increase breast volume, improve symmetry, or restore breast fullness. This procedure helps create desired breast proportions and contours. Breast augmentation can enhance self-confidence and body image. It provides transgender women with a more balanced and feminine silhouette.
Breast Lift:
A breast lift is known as mastopexy. It raises and reshapes sagging breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue. During the procedure, excess skin is removed and the underlying breast tissue is reshaped and lifted to achieve a more youthful shape. If necessary, the nipple and areola may be repositioned to a more desired location.
Breast Reduction:
Breast reduction surgery reduces the size and weight of the breasts by removing excess breast tissue, fat and skin. The remaining breast tissue is reshaped and lifted to achieve the desired shape. As with breast augmentation, the nipple and areola may be repositioned to a higher location.
Fat Transfer to Breasts:
Fat transfer to the breasts involves using liposuction to transfer fat from one area of the body, such as the abdomen or thighs. The fat is then injected into the breasts to increase volume and improve shape. This procedure offers a natural alternative to traditional breast implants. It utilizes the body's own fat cells for augmentation.
Body Enhancement Surgery Options
Body enhancement plastic surgery sculpts and refines various areas of the body. Many options are available. Liposuction removes excess fat deposits and contours the silhouette. A tummy tuck tightens the abdomen. Body lifts address loose skin.
Arm Contouring:
Arm contouring improves the appearance of the upper arms by removing excess skin and fat. It is commonly chosen by people who have experienced significant weight loss or have excess skin due to aging. Arm contouring can result in smoother, firmer arms, which will also have improved definition and proportion.
Abdominoplasty:
Abdominoplasty is known as a tummy tuck. It improves the appearance of the abdomen. It involves the removal of excess skin and fat from the abdominal area and the tightening of abdominal muscles to create a smoother, firmer profile.
Buttock Augmentation:
Buttock augmentation is used for shape and size enhancement. There are various surgical and non-surgical options. These procedures reshape and enhance the size, contour and symmetry of the buttocks. A common technique is fat grafting. Silicone implants and injectable fillers are also popular. Each is tailored to your preferences and physical considerations.
Thigh Lift:
Thigh lift surgery reshapes and tightens the thighs by removing excess skin and fat, resulting in a smoother and more toned appearance. The procedure involves making discreet incisions along the inner thigh to remove surplus tissue. The incision is then carefully closed for minimal scarring.
Body Lift:
A body lift targets excess skin and tissue around the abdomen, buttocks, thighs and hips. It involves removing loose skin, tightening underlying muscles and contouring the remaining tissues, creating a smoother, more toned silhouette.
Liposuction:
Liposuction removes stubborn pockets of fat from various areas of the body. Areas might include the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, hips, arms and chin. A thin tube called a cannula is inserted through small incisions. Liposuction contours and reshapes specific areas. It also enhances body proportions and creates a more sculpted appearance. This is not a solution for weight loss or obesity. Liposuction is a popular option for those seeking to gradually reshape their body.
Body Implants:
Body implants are prosthetics surgically inserted into specific areas. They enhance or alter body shape. Pectoral implants are used for chest augmentation. Calf implants are for lower leg enhancement. Gluteal implants are for buttock augmentation.
Non-Surgical Cosmetic Gender-Affirming Procedures
Non-surgical cosmetic gender-affirming procedures offer individuals options for matching their appearance with their gender identity without undergoing surgery. These procedures may include facial contouring with dermal fillers or botulinum toxin injections to feminize or masculinize features.
Botox & Dysport:
Botox and Dysport are popular injectable treatments. They temporarily reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines by relaxing the underlying muscles. These neurotoxin-based injectables work by blocking nerve signals that cause muscle contractions, leading to smoother skin. While Botox and Dysport are similar in function, they may vary in formulation and onset of action. Results typically last several months before gradually wearing off.
Juvederm:
Juvederm is a popular brand of hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers. It is used to restore volume, smooth lines and enhance facial contours. Various formulations are made for specific concerns, including lip augmentation, cheek enhancement and wrinkle reduction. Juvederm offers natural-looking results. It replenishes lost hyaluronic acid, which naturally occurs in the skin and lessens with age. Juvederm treatments provide long-lasting results. They typically last several months to a year, depending on the specific product used.
Restylane & Perlane:
Restylane and Perlane are hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers. They reduce the appearance of wrinkles, add volume and enhance facial contours. Restylane is typically used for finer lines and delicate areas such as the lips and under-eye area. Perlane has a thicker consistency. It is often preferred for deeper wrinkles and targeting larger facial areas like cheeks and chin. Both Restylane and Perlane offer long-lasting results. These results typically last six months to a year.
