Facial Feminization Surgery at NANA Plastic Surgery, Seoul.Facial features play a major role in how we are perceived. Even subtle differences in bone structure and facial proportions can influence whether a face appears softer, stronger, more feminine, or more masculine. Facial Feminization Surgery, commonly known as FFS, is designed to address these structural differences in a precise and individualized way. This guide explains how FFS is approached at NANA Plastic Surgery in Seoul, Korea, including the procedures involved and the three FFS package options.
Key Takeaways
- FFS is a group of surgical procedures that softens facial contours by adjusting bone structure and soft tissue in key areas of the face.
- NANA's FFS focuses on the upper face: brow bone reduction, Endotine forehead lift, and forehead reduction.
- NANA offers three FFS package options; Option 3 adds fat grafting with complimentary PRP.
- Incisions are placed behind the hairline whenever possible, and advanced fixation techniques support stable results.
- FFS is never one size fits all: planning is based on facial analysis, bone structure, and personal goals.
What Is Facial Feminization Surgery (FFS)?
The forehead and brow area are especially important, as they strongly affect overall expression and facial harmony. By refining prominent features and improving proportions, FFS can create a gentler, more natural-looking appearance while preserving each individual's unique facial character.
Why FFS Is Planned Individually
Because every face is different, FFS is never a one size fits all procedure. Surgical planning is based on detailed facial analysis, bone structure, and personal goals to achieve results that look natural and well balanced.
Which Procedures Does FFS Surgery at NANA in Seoul Include?
At NANA Plastic Surgery in Seoul, FFS techniques prioritize natural contours, structural safety, and long-term stability.
What Is Brow Bone Reduction?
This procedure softens a prominent brow ridge by carefully contouring the protruding bone. Rather than removing large sections of bone, only the necessary areas are delicately reshaped to maintain a smooth and natural forehead line while preserving volume and structural integrity.
What Is an Endotine Forehead Lift?
Endotine forehead lift is often combined with brow bone reduction and forehead reduction to enhance overall results. This technique lifts and stabilizes the forehead and eyebrow tissues using a bioabsorbable fixation device, allowing the brows to settle in an optimal position. By securing lifted tissue during the healing process, Endotine supports long-term stability while maintaining a soft and natural contour.
What Is Forehead Reduction?
Forehead reduction is designed for patients with a high or broad forehead. By lowering the hairline and improving vertical facial proportions, this procedure creates a more balanced upper face. Hair follicles are preserved during the incision process to ensure a natural-looking hairline and minimize visible scarring.

What Do Patients Say About FFS-Related Surgery at NANA?
"As a transgender person, I made the decision to undergo surgery to soften the masculine bone structure of my face, something I had struggled with for a long time. Reducing my prominent brow bone made a noticeable difference, and I am especially happy with how the line from my forehead to my nose now looks much softer and more feminine.
To further improve the strong impression I had before, I also had square jaw reduction and chin augmentation. Although there was swelling and discomfort right after surgery, as time passed my face became slimmer from both the front and side. Seeing these changes brought me more happiness than I can easily put into words.
Recovery took time, but now I feel much more confident when applying makeup or tying my hair up, and I truly enjoy seeing myself in the mirror. I hope my experience can be helpful to others who may be facing similar concerns."
"I had always wanted a softer, more refined look with a sharper nose, but I struggled with concerns about my hooked nose, bulbous tip, and wide nasal bridge. From the very first consultation, I felt confident because the surgeon carefully explained the best approach for my facial structure and truly listened to what I wanted.
I was especially concerned about my prominent brow bone and wide nasal bridge, and the surgical plan was thoughtfully adjusted to achieve a balanced and natural result. I also received clear guidance on how to reduce swelling after surgery, and thanks to the attentive care from both the medical staff and the surgeon, my recovery went smoothly.
There was noticeable swelling and some difficulty breathing during the first few days, but as time passed, the changes gradually became visible, making the recovery much easier to handle. Now my face looks much softer, and my nose has a sharper, more refined shape. The wide nasal bone has been harmoniously corrected, giving my face a more three dimensional and balanced appearance.
I am truly happy with the results and feel like I have finally found the look that suits me best. I now enjoy taking photos and videos with confidence."
"I would honestly rate my overall satisfaction a perfect 10 out of 10. I am truly happy with the results of my surgery. At the time, I was feeling a bit emotionally low, but just a few days after the procedure, my mindset completely changed. Now, it almost feels like I never had surgery at all.
The entire experience was amazing from start to finish. The doctors and staff were incredibly professional, and I never felt anxious or uncertain. Whenever I had a question or concern, I knew I could ask anyone and receive a clear and reassuring answer. That level of care made a huge difference, and I am genuinely grateful."
