Lise Marie’s Story

Several years ago, Lise Marie approached Facialteam to discuss the possibilities for facial feminization surgery with our team of surgeons. Lise Marie is a 27-year-old patient who traveled from Norway to have a consultation with our surgeons to evaluate her facial features and come up with the right selection of facial feminization procedures, completely personalized for Lise Marie. Based on her goals and the recommendations from our surgical team we came up with the following treatment plan:

As Lise Marie considered the area around her eyes masculine, she expressed the desire to undergo the process of feminizing the forehead region with a brow bone reduction, part of the process of feminizing the forehead region. Forehead feminization procedures at Facialteam aim to achieve a significant and specific change in the expression around the eyes. The ultimate goal of our FOREContour® method is to approximate the original contours and position of the facial bone and eyebrows, before hormones caused changes in puberty.

To emphasize the cheeks and make Lise Marie’s eyes appear larger, a feminizing rhinoplasty was recommended. As the central feature of the face, a more feminine nose often is key for the global result of facial feminization surgery.

Nose feminization is often combined with a forehead reconstruction to create a smooth transition from the brow bone to the nose.

Just like the majority of trans women who have been through puberty, Lise Marie considered feminizing the area of the neck by reducing the size of Adam’s Apple. Our method TContour® allows us to achieve natural and safe results in trachea shaves, with a less visible Adam’s Apple as a result.

Shortly after her surgery, Lise Marie sent us a written testimonial to express how she experienced her journey with Facialteam. We love to hear from our patients and try to share all these lovely words with our audience as it can greatly help other patients that are considering facial feminization surgery as well.
