Transgender Procedures Rockford, IL

Facial Feminization Surgery

Navigating the complex journey of gender identity can be a deeply personal and emotional process. When the gender assigned at birth conflicts with one's true sense of self, it often leads to a profound sense of dysphoria and the desire for alignment between one's inner identity and external appearance. Embracing gender affirmation and transitioning is a courageous step towards embracing authenticity, self-acceptance, and a genuine sense of well-being.

In addition to individuals seeking gender affirmation, we recognize that many people, regardless of gender identity, may feel dissatisfied with certain facial features. Some women, for instance, may desire a more traditionally feminine appearance and wish to enhance their facial features accordingly.

At PryorHealth, we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to feel comfortable and confident in their own skin. Our skilled surgeons are adept at understanding individual preferences and tailoring facial feminization surgery procedures to achieve the desired results.

What is Facial Feminization?

Facial feminization refers to cosmetic procedures that give the face a more classically feminine appearance. While it is most popular among those transitioning from male to female, it is also available to biological females interested in refining facial features that are too masculine-looking for their preference.

What types of facial feminization procedures are available?

Every anatomical feature of your face conveys hints about your gender identity to the world. Here is an overview of some of the Rockford facial feminization surgery services we offer:

Adam’s Apple Reduction

An Adam’s apple shave, also known as a tracheal shave, removes the bulge from the center of the neck, which is typically more prominent in post-pubescent males.

Brow Bossing Reduction

Biologic males tend to have a more prominent brow ridge than females. Shaving the brow bone gives the eyebrows a flatter and more feminine appearance, most noticeable when looking at the patient’s side profile.

Brow Lift

Biological females tend to have slightly more raised eyebrows than their male counterparts. Lifting the brow may also eliminate forehead lines and open the eyes so they sparkle.

Cheek Augmentation

High-cheekbones are very in-demand as they lend the face a more characteristically feminine appearance. Augmenting the cheekbones, whether accomplished surgically or through dermal fillers, gives the face a more sculpted, rounder appearance.

Lip Augmentation

Lip augmentation can make thin lips appear more feminine by enhancing fullness and defining the cupid’s bow. Options may include dermal filler injections or surgical lip augmentation with a bullhorn lip lift.

Rhinoplasty

A feminine-looking nose has daintier features and smooth contours. Feminizing rhinoplasty may entail refining the nasal tip, shaving down a dorsal bump, adjusting the alar wings, and correcting septum deviation linked to snoring.

What is Top Surgery?

Top surgery is a surgery that aligns a person's chest with their gender identity. For those who identify as transgender men (FTM), this usually means removing breast tissue or masculinizing the chest to create a more masculine appearance. For those who identify as transgender women (MTF), the surgery involves enhancing breast tissue or feminizing the chest to create a more feminine appearance.

What types of Top Surgery procedures are available?

At PryorHealth we offer a range of gender-affirming top surgery procedures. The procedure recommended will depend on the patient's anatomy and desired outcome. During your consultation for top surgery Rockford aesthetic experts will discuss all options to ensure you receive the best treatment plan for your needs.

MTF Breast Enhancement

Breast Augmentation or Breast Implants for Male-to-Female (MTF) Breast Enhancement is a surgical procedure where implants are added to the chest to enhance the size and shape of the breasts. This procedure is typically done for transgender women or non-binary individuals who want a more feminine-looking chest.

In the surgical procedure, a chest incision creates a pocket for implant placement. The two most commonly used types of implants are silicone and saline. Silicone implants contain silicone gel, while saline implants contain a sterile saltwater solution.

The benefits of MTF Breast Augmentation include a more feminine chest appearance, improved self-confidence, and a better sense of body image. This procedure can also alleviate dysphoria and help individuals feel more comfortable in their skin.

FTM Breast Reduction

FTM (Female-to-Male) Breast Reduction, also known as Top Surgery or Chest Masculinization Surgery, is a surgical procedure that involves removing breast tissue to create a flatter, more masculine chest appearance. This procedure is typically performed for transgender men or non-binary individuals who desire a more masculine chest appearance.

During the surgery, a cut will be made in the chest to remove extra breast tissue, fat, and skin. The nipple and areola will be adjusted to achieve a more masculine chest shape that looks natural.

Undergoing FTM breast reduction can provide various benefits, such as creating a more masculine chest, boosting self-confidence, and improving body image. The procedure can also alleviate dysphoria and enhance an individual's comfort with their body.
