Carol’s Story

Several years ago, Carol approached Facialteam to discuss the possibilities for facial feminization surgery with our team of surgeons. Carol is a year old patient who traveled from Brazil 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 Carol. Based on her goals and the recommendations from our surgical team we came up with the following treatment plan:

As Carol considered the area around her eyes had masculine traits and expressed her interest in 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.

Just like the majority of trans women who have been through puberty, Carol 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.

We invited Carol for an interview to understand better how she experienced her surgery with Facialteam and how Facial Feminization Surgery changed her life.

Hearing these stories from our patients is emotional but really makes our work worth it!
