Video Summary

This video outlines the process of facial feminization through brow contouring. It involves virtual planning using 3D CT scans and the precise removal and repositioning of bone. Techniques include flattening bone with resorbable plates, using customized cutting guides, and specific incisions to minimize scarring. The procedure transitions the forehead from convex to concave, enhancing femininity. Steps include osteotomies, resections, and scalp adjustments for brow lifting and hairline lowering. The process aims to achieve a more feminine appearance, improving the patient's gender perception and sense of beauty. Each patient's unique anatomy is considered for a tailored approach.
