Brow Contouring/Brow Lift
Cisgender males tend to have a more prominent brow bone. The brow ridge is solid bone and can quite simply be ground down. A gentle curve to the forehead and raised eyebrows all help to create a more feminised appearance.
Cephalograms may be needed prior to surgery. This is a facial scan that can show us how thick the brow bone is. You will be reviewed the morning after your surgery. Then at 5 and 10 days, following this at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year.

In the rare case that revision is needed, this can be discussed with you. Most cases go very smoothly without any problems.
