What makes our face feminine?

The femininity of facial features is often associated with certain characteristics that are typically softer, more delicate, and perceived as traditionally feminine in many cultures. Here are some common features that contribute to a feminine facial appearance:


  • Smoother Eyebrow bone

A feminine eyebrow bone tends to have a smoother contour without a prominent ridge or angular edges. This creates a softer transition from the forehead to the upper face.


  • Smaller Nose

A smaller, more delicate nose with a refined nose tip and narrower bridge with no hump is often considered feminine. The shape and size of the nose can significantly impact facial balance and femininity.


  • Fuller Lips

Full, defined lips with a pronounced cupid's bow are often associated with femininity. Lip volume and shape can enhance facial attractiveness and contribute to a youthful appearance.


  • Smooth and Round Facial Outline

Feminine faces often have smoother and more rounded facial outline. This includes rounder and softer cheekbones, jawline, and chin.


  • Fuller Facial Volume

Feminine faces tend to have a fuller and more rounded forehead, temples, and apple of cheeks. These features contribute to a softer overall appearance.


What surgeries are included in Facial Feminization Surgery (FFS)?

Browbone reduction

A surgery that is aimed at reducing the prominence or size of the brow ridge (supraorbital ridge) and/or the frontal sinus bossing (the protrusion of the forehead bones).


Rhinoplasty

A feminization rhinoplasty helps reshaping the nose to create a more feminine appearance. Osteotomy, Hump reduction, Tip Plasty and Alar reduction are usually recommended to result in a softer, narrower, smaller

and more harmonious nose


Lip filler

a more long-lasting result.


Facial contouring surgery

A feminization facial contouring surgery includes Zygoma reduction, Angular jaw correction and Genioplasty. A less prominent frontal cheek volume can be created by repositioning the angle of the cheekbones through

Zygoma reduction. Angular jaw correction is a surgery aimed at softening and reducing the strong and thick angular jaw. Genioplasty is a surgery aimed at reshaping the chin or moving the chin front or backward.

These three facial contouring surgeries create a feminine facial outline not only from the front but side profile as well, which are commonly recommended in Korea for Facial Feminization Surgery (FFS) case
