Your cheeks are another area of your face that can be enhanced in a facial feminization procedure. If you are looking to achieve gorgeous results from facial feminization surgery San Francisco transgender patients can rely on, visit Bay Area Aesthetic Surgery.
A woman's face is characterized in part by her full cheeks, which taper down toward the chin to form a graceful, heart-shaped facial contour. To achieve this facial shape, the cheeks need upper fullness and the tapered line to the chin must be defined. An attractive male face may have high cheekbones as well, although the overall facial shape is slightly different.
Transform the feminine face
If you decide you want fuller, more feminine cheeks, there are a few facial feminization cheek procedures that may be right for you:
What can I expect after surgery?
Most cheek feminization patients find their post-op swelling, pain and discoloration is quite manageable.
Our team will create a personalized aftercare plan for you, and provide you with all the necessary medications for your comfort during recovery. You may need to maintain a liquid diet for a few days as the cheeks heal.
Be careful to avoid foods and beverages that are too hot, as your face may be too numb to notice the temperature. It’s best to avoid vigorous exercise for the first few weeks, however you can safely return to normal work activities within about 10 days. Swelling will gradually lessen over the course of about six weeks, revealing your lovely new cheeks and feminine smile.
What's the next step?
During a consultation with our team, we can recommend all of your options for achieving feminine cheeks. We focus not only on the facial feminization result you want to see, but also tailors any procedure you choose to complement your unique facial features. Facial feminization should allow your outer beauty to reflect your inner gender identity, and it should do so by enhancing your own natural beauty and feminizing certain facial features. Your consultation will likely involve an examination of your cheeks, a review of previous surgeries and discussion of before and after photos you find the most in line with your vision.
Our team can also provide you with 3D imaging results so that you can preview your new facial contours in advance. If you have an interest in other facial or body feminization procedures such as rhinoplasty, foreheadplasty, hair transplantation, facelift, chin reduction, liposuction, tummy tuck or MTF breast augmentation, our team is happy to go over these in depth during your initial meeting as well. Often combining treatments has the benefit of reducing costs, trimming downtime and minimizing post-operative pain.
