SURGICAL PROCEDURES:

Brow Lift

OVERVIEW

The typical male forehead has prominent brow ridges, frontal bossing, with a relatively flat upper forehead, in contrast with a female forehead which is gently curved with no frontal bossing.

 

REASON FOR SURGERY

The goal is to reduce the frontal, brow bossing and shape the forehead to give a more feminine smooth, gently curved forehead with the eyebrows above the bony rim of the forehead.

 

BENEFITS

This result can improve self-confidence and boost self-esteem, allowing you to feel more confident with your appearance and/or gender expression.

Chin Countouring

OVERVIEW

Chin reduction/shaping improves facial balance by reducing the prominence or shape of the chin. It is performed by reshaping the front of the mandible and is used to reduce the typical male chin which is larger, and more square with prominent corners.

 

REASON FOR SURGERY

The goal is to provide a suitable projection of the chin, as well as the correct height of the chin which is in balance with the other facial features, while also creating more feminine proportions.

 

BENEFITS

This result can improve self-confidence and boost self-esteem, allowing you to feel confident in your female gender.

Brow Contouring

OVERVIEW

The typical male forehead has prominent brow ridges, frontal bossing, with a relatively flat upper forehead, in contrast with a female forehead which is gently curved with no frontal bossing.

 

REASON FOR SURGERY

The goal is to reduce the frontal, brow bossing and shape the forehead to give a more feminine smooth, gently curved forehead with the eyebrows above the supra-orbital margin or bony rim of the socket.

 

BENEFITS

This result can improve self-confidence and boost self-esteem, allowing you to feel confident in your female gender.

Hairline Lowering

OVERVIEW

Hairline lowering is a common procedure as part of facial feminisation. A high forehead that is out of proportion with the other facial features is considered a masculine feature. It can be corrected by hairline lowering, and/or forehead reduction plastic surgery, which can alter the balance of the upper third of the face to improve facial balance and enhance the feminine appearance.

 

REASON FOR SURGERY

The goal is to provide a more proportionate forehead and rounder hairline shape.

 

BENEFITS

This result can improve self-confidence and boost self-esteem, allowing you to feel more comfortable in your appearance.

Surgical Lip Lift

OVERVIEW

Lip Lift Surgery is a specialist Plastic Surgery operation to create a more feminine upper lip shape by removing soft tissue from just below the nose. This effectively lifts the upper lip and creates a more youthful and feminine upper lip shape.

If you are concerned about the appearance of your upper lip and would like to achieve a more rejuvenated and feminine appearance, then a Lip Lift may be suitable for you.

Surgical Implants

Overview

Facial implants offered by Miss Berridge are designed to enhance the shape and size of the cheeks, chin, and/or jawline, providing individuals with stronger and more defined facial contours. This cosmetic procedure is suitable for those seeking facial symmetry improvement or desiring a more proportionate appearance due to a congenital condition or traumatic injury.

 

Reason for Surgery

The goal of facial implants is to achieve suitable chin projection and height in balance with other facial features, creating harmonious and natural-looking proportions. By enhancing facial contours, this procedure can lead to improved self-confidence and boost self-esteem, helping individuals feel more content with their appearance.

 

Benefits

Facial implants can significantly improve self-confidence and self-esteem by providing a balanced and proportionate facial appearance. With a more defined chin, cheeks, or jawline, patients can achieve a more harmonious facial profile, resulting in a positive impact on their overall sense of well-being.

Thyroid Cartilage Reduction

OVERVIEW

Males have a more prominent Adam’s Apple, compared to females. A thyroid shave involves reducing the thyroid cartilage to reshape or reduce the prominence of the Adam’s Apple. The surgical incision is placed underneath the chin so there is no visible scar on the neck, therefore there is no obvious indication you have had gender-affirming facial surgery.

 

REASON FOR SURGERY

The goal is to create a natural, female appearance of the neck without any visible scarring.

 

BENEFITS

This result can improve self-confidence and boost self-esteem, allowing you to feel more comfortable in your female gender.

NON-SURGICAL TREATMENTS:

Botulinium Toxin

OVERVIEW

Overactive facial muscles can contribute to the formation of active facial lines and wrinkles. In combination with loss of collagen and elastin due to ageing and/or sun damage, these lines become increasingly apparent and permanent. Anti-wrinkle injections, known as botulinum toxin, can be injected to relax the muscle, reducing or eliminating the appearance of wrinkles.

REASON FOR TREATMENT

The goal is to create a rejuvenated, more youthful appearance while still maintaining a natural appearance.

BENEFITS

Anti-wrinkle treatments can be a very beneficial part of overall facial rejuvenation, enhancing self-confidence and boosting self-esteem, allowing you to feel more comfortable in day-to-day interactions.

Dermal Fillers

OVERVIEW

Dermal Fillers are used to replenish lost volume in the soft tissues or augment tissues to improve facial shape, contours or definition. At LTC we use Teosyal, a hyaluronic acid product which replaces your body’s natural hyaluronic acid. Teosyal is designed to support the skin in every move while helping to preserve the vitality and softness of your face.

 

REASON FOR TREATMENT

The goal is to improve facial shape, contours or definition according to your individual goals, without surgery.

 

BENEFITS

The results that can be achieved with dermal fillers can assist in feminising or masculinising the face without having to proceed with surgery. It can improve self-confidence and boost self-esteem, allowing you to feel more comfortable in your gender.
