“…The hairline advancement obtained also exerts a great feminizing effect on the face. 11,24 The scar of the hairline incision can be concealed later on by either hair transplant or microblading if the scar visibility is an issue after 3 to 6 months. I do not recommend simultaneous hair transplant in the scar unlike Capitán et al 22 as the growth of transplanted follicles is not optimal.…”

Background Facial feminization surgery (FFS) is a combination of facial bony and soft tissue surgeries designed to modify and convert a masculine face to feminine. One’s face plays a very central role in gender incongruence and FFS helps patients overcome this. There are prominent differences between the male and the female facial anatomy (bony and soft tissue) which can be surgically altered to change the visual perception of the face. Methods The author presents the method used at his center for treating 220 patients of gender incongruence requesting FFS from June 2016 to June 2019. The alterations to known methods of forehead contouring, hairline lowering, and jaw shave adopted by his team are discussed. He also presents the logic of performing the entire FFS in two stages at an interval of 7 to 10 days. Results A total of 220 cases of FFS are presented, along with surgical details of techniques used, the sequence and staging of procedures performed, and the results obtained. A two-staged approach to FFS is proposed to maximize the recovery and minimize complications and promote faster healing. Different methods of forehead contouring are also explained in detail. Conclusions FFS is a very rewarding surgery for the plastic surgeon and has high patient satisfaction rate. With proper training in craniomaxillofacial and soft tissue surgery, it is possible for the plastic surgeon to be the main team leader for this procedure. A two-stage approach is highly recommended.

Brow lifts have been performed for a century, constituting a key surgical technique in upper face rejuvenation [1]. Among various options, the endoscopic approach has the advantage of good surgical exposure with magnification, a short incisional scar, and a relatively low risk of scalp denervation. But acquiring the technique requires a long learning period. In addition, in some cases it is difficult to fixate the forehead musculature adequately [2,3], and it may be difficult to avoid widening of the forehead. The anterior hairline approach is one of the most widely accepted approaches in patients with high hairlines. This technique offers good surgical exposure. Moreover, it makes it possible to lower a high hairline. But it has disadvantages, such as visible scars and scalp denervation [3,4]. The authors designed a new brow lift technique, an endoscopeassisted trichophytic anterior hairline brow lift. This new technique combines the advantages of an endoscopic approach and an anterior hairline approach. It has the advantage of providing good sur
