Transgenders Turn To Rhinoplasty To Look More Feminine
An individual’s gender is conveyed greatly through the face. Specific facial characteristics, especially the nose, can often be a sure indication as to whether a person is perceived as male or female. For this reason, those transitioning are more likely to undergo nasal surgery, or rhinoplasty, as an inherently essential procedure supporting their full transition from man to woman. Many transgenders report that having a more feminine nose as a result of rhinoplasty has allowed for the most significant change and progress in creating a more feminine look, alongside genital reconstruction, hormone therapy and other facial modifications.
Dr. Ali Adibfar conducts a comprehensive consultation and evaluation of the total needs of the patient working toward a full transition. This process can include multiple procedures, all working together to support and result in a patient’s ultimately more feminine characteristics and appearance.
Facial nasal characteristics that physically translate to a feminine appearance include narrower nasal bones and passages, steeper and slightly smaller bridges, and higher and more refined nose tips. Expert surgeon Dr. Ali Adibfar uses a patient’s natural nose shape to consult on the specific measures needed to lend satisfying results that are natural looking, softer and characteristically effeminate. Generally, this procedure may include reducing the nasal bridge’s size, slightly lifting and reshaping the tip of the nose, and/or re-positioning the nasal structure including bones.
Dr. Ali Adibfar’s meticulous attention to detail and notably successful experience with rhinoplasty allows for minimal scarring, as he makes most (if not all) incisions from inside the nostrils. Any minor bleeding after the procedure will be quickly healed with the aid of light dressings placed over the incisions. Stitches made inside the nose dissolve within 2 weeks, while external stitches are most often removed by Dr. Ali Adibfar within one week at the patient’s follow-up appointment.
Rhinoplasty is often supported alongside other facial procedures working together to lend the patient optimal results that are noticeably more feminine. These complementary treatments and operations may include reshaping the forehead, brow lifting, undergoing a lip lift, and using fillers, fat graft or cheek bone implants as well as chin set back and jaw angle reduction and thyroid cartilage shave to create more feminine curves in the face and neck.
Rhinoplasty (along with all other facial gender modifications) should always be performed by an expert plastic surgeon. That means a physician who has extensive successful experience performing the exact surgery on numerous patients of various distinctive characteristics. Consequently, patients should pursue a physician who specializes in rhinoplasty and transgender surgeries like Toronto’s exceptionally-refined, experienced and board-certified Dr. Ali Adibfar.
