Natural-Looking FFS in Seoul: How NANA Protects Structure, Stability, and Scars
Refined, not dramatic. The four surgical principles behind Facial Feminization Surgery at NANA Plastic Surgery, from the brow to the jawline.

FFS at NANA is planned to look natural from every angle.For most people considering Facial Feminization Surgery (FFS), the biggest question is not only what will change, but whether the result will look like them. A softer brow is only a success if the forehead line still looks smooth, the hairline looks natural, the result holds as tissues heal, and scars stay out of sight. This article looks at FFS at NANA Plastic Surgery in Seoul through those four concerns, and at the surgical choices NANA makes to address each one. For an introduction to the procedures and packages themselves, see our Facial Feminization Surgery overview.
Key Takeaways
- NANA's FFS goal is refined transformation, not dramatic change, while preserving each person's unique facial character.
- Natural contours: only the necessary areas of the brow ridge are reshaped, and hair follicles are preserved when the hairline is lowered.
- Structural safety: bone volume and structural integrity are preserved rather than removed.
- Long-term stability: a bioabsorbable Endotine device secures lifted tissue while it heals.
- Discreet incisions: placed behind the hairline whenever possible.
- Four packages: Options 1 to 3 focus on the upper face; Option 4 adds 3-point facial contouring (cheekbone reduction, square jaw reduction, and genioplasty).
Why Does NANA Aim for Refined, Not Dramatic, FFS Results?
Even subtle differences in bone structure and proportion influence whether a face reads as softer or stronger. That means FFS does not need to be aggressive to be effective. In the upper face in particular, small adjustments can make a significant difference, because the forehead and brow area strongly affect overall expression and facial harmony.
This is also why FFS at NANA is never one size fits all. Surgical planning begins with detailed facial analysis, your bone structure, and your personal goals, and procedures are combined according to your individual anatomy.
How Does NANA Create Natural Contours in FFS?
At the Brow Ridge
A prominent brow ridge is softened through brow bone reduction. Rather than flattening the area, the surgeon delicately contours only the protruding sections, so the forehead line flows smoothly instead of looking carved or hollow.
At the Hairline
For a high or broad forehead, forehead reduction lowers the hairline to improve vertical facial proportions. Because hair follicles are preserved during the incision process, the hairline is designed to look natural rather than obviously operated on.
In Overall Volume
Where contour refinement calls for it, NANA's most comprehensive package adds fat grafting with complimentary PRP. The added volume helps refine contours and promotes a smoother, more youthful appearance.
How Does NANA Prioritize Structural Safety in Brow Bone Reduction?
It can be tempting to assume that more reduction means a more feminine result. NANA's approach is the opposite: remove only what is necessary. Preserving the bone's volume and structural integrity protects the area's natural shape and supports a result that stays balanced over time.
How Does NANA Keep FFS Results Stable as the Face Heals?
Lifting the brows is only half the task; they also need to stay where they were placed while the tissues recover. The Endotine forehead lift addresses this by securing the lifted tissue with a bioabsorbable fixation device. This supports long-term stability while maintaining a soft, natural contour.
The Endotine forehead lift is often combined with brow bone reduction and forehead reduction, so the brow ridge, brow position, and hairline are all refined together as one balanced upper face.
Where Are the Incisions Placed in FFS at NANA?
Scar placement is a large part of how natural an FFS result looks in everyday life. By working behind the hairline whenever possible, NANA keeps incisions out of view, and follicle preservation during forehead reduction further helps minimize visible scarring along the new hairline.

How Do These Principles Carry Through NANA's FFS Packages?
NANA offers four FFS packages. Each is planned around facial anatomy, and the same principles guide every one.
Option 1
Brow bone reduction and Endotine forehead lift: selective contouring of the brow plus secure, stable brow positioning.
Option 2
Adds forehead reduction for a high or broad forehead, with follicles preserved for a natural hairline.
Option 3
Adds fat grafting with complimentary PRP for volume enhancement and smoother contours.
Option 4
Adds 3-point facial contouring (cheekbone reduction, square jaw reduction, and genioplasty), extending FFS from the upper face to the cheekbones, jawline, and chin.
Common to all four: incisions behind the hairline whenever possible and a result planned to look harmonious from every angle.
What Do Patients Notice After Upper-Face Surgery at NANA?
One patient who was concerned about a prominent brow bone and a wide nasal bridge said the surgeon explained the best approach for their facial structure, listened to what they wanted, and adjusted the plan for a balanced, natural result. They described swelling in the first days and a gradual change over time, and said their face now looks much softer.
Another patient who had brow bone reduction to soften a masculine bone structure said the line from the forehead to the nose now looks softer and more feminine, and that they feel more confident applying makeup or tying their hair up. To further soften a strong impression, this patient also had square jaw reduction and chin augmentation, and said that over time their face became slimmer from both the front and the side.
