What Makes A Man Feminine? Which Surgeries Should You Have And In What Order?

What Makes A Man Feminine? Do you feel unhappy with your masculine appearance and want to achieve a more feminine look? If so, you are not alone. Many men, especially transgender women, struggle with their gender expression and desire to have a more harmonious and attractive appearance. But how can you change your appearance? Is it possible to alter your physical features and characteristics? The answer is yes, thanks to gender affirming surgeries.

What are Gender Affirming Surgeries?

Gender affirming surgeries (GAS) are a type of cosmetic surgery that aims to modify the physical features and characteristics of the body to create a more congruent appearance with one’s gender identity. GAS can include various procedures, such as facial feminization surgery (FFS), body feminization surgery (BFS), genital feminization surgery (GFS), breast augmentation, voice feminization surgery (VFS), and hair transplantation. GAS can also be combined with hormone therapy (HT) and psychological counseling to achieve a complete gender transition.

GAS is not only for transgender women who want to align their physical appearance with their gender identity, but also for cisgender men who want to explore their femininity and diversity. GAS can help men who have a naturally masculine or androgynous appearance, such as a large forehead, a prominent nose, a square jaw, a flat chest, a deep voice, or a receding hairline. GAS can also help men who have experienced changes in their appearance due to aging, illness, or injury.

What Makes A Man Feminine?

There is no definitive answer to what makes a man feminine, as different people may have different preferences and opinions. However, some studies have suggested that the most common and desirable feminine features and characteristics are:

• A small and smooth forehead, with a low and curved hairline, and a high and arched eyebrow.
• A small and narrow nose, with a refined and upturned tip, and a concave and delicate bridge.
• A full and plump cheek, with a prominent and defined cheekbone, and a soft and smooth contour.
• A small and round chin, with a tapered and pointed shape, and a dimple or cleft.
• A slim and soft jawline, with a rounded and oval shape, and a smooth and gentle angle.
• A small and flat Adam’s apple, with a smooth and inconspicuous appearance, and a feminine and melodious voice.
• A full and curved lip, with a lifted and curved upper lip, and a moist and glossy texture.
• A small and perky ear, with a short and narrow shape, and a small and round earlobe.
• A full and round breast, with a large and firm size, and a high and centered nipple.
• A slim and curvy waist, with a narrow and cinched shape, and a feminine and graceful posture.
• A full and round hip, with a wide and flared shape, and a feminine and seductive movement.
• A long and slender leg, with a smooth and toned shape, and a feminine and elegant gait.

However, not all men are born with these feminine features and characteristics, and it can be difficult to acquire them through natural means, such as diet, exercise, makeup, or clothing. That is why many men opt for gender affirming surgeries to create or enhance their feminine appearance.

Which Surgeries Should You Have And In What Order?

If you are interested in having gender affirming surgeries, the first step is to consult with a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon who specializes in GAS. The plastic surgeon will evaluate your medical history, physical condition, and aesthetic goals. The plastic surgeon will also explain the risks, benefits, and costs of GAS. The plastic surgeon will then design a personalized surgical plan that suits your needs and expectations.

The second step is to decide which surgeries you want to have and in what order. There is no fixed or universal order for having gender affirming surgeries, as it depends on various factors, such as your personal preference, your budget, your availability, and your surgeon’s recommendation. However, some general guidelines and suggestions are:

• Start with the surgeries that have the most impact on your appearance and well-being, such as facial feminization surgery, breast augmentation, or genital feminization surgery. These surgeries can help you to achieve a more feminine and congruent appearance, as well as to reduce your gender dysphoria and increase your gender congruence.
• Continue with the surgeries that have the least impact on your appearance and well-being, such as voice feminization surgery, hair transplantation, or earlobe reduction. These surgeries can help you to enhance your femininity and beauty, as well as to improve your self-esteem and confidence.
• Space out the surgeries that have a long recovery time or a high risk of complications, such as forehead contouring, rhinoplasty, or tracheal shave. These surgeries can require several weeks or months of healing and follow-up, as well as to pose some challenges and difficulties, such as bleeding, infection, scarring, or nerve damage.
• Combine the surgeries that have a short recovery time or a low risk of complications, such as lip lift, cheek augmentation, or fat grafting. These surgeries can be performed in one session or in a few days, as well as to offer some advantages and benefits, such as minimal pain, quick recovery, or natural results.

The third step is to prepare for the surgeries. You may need to undergo some tests, such as blood work, chest X-ray, and electrocardiogram, to ensure that you are healthy and fit for the surgeries. You may also need to stop smoking, drinking, and taking certain medications, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and blood thinners, for a few weeks before the surgeries. You may also need to arrange for someone to drive you home and take care of you after the surgeries.

The fourth step is to undergo the surgeries. Depending on the type and number of procedures you choose, the surgeries may take from one to six hours each. You will be given general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, depending on your preference and the surgeon’s recommendation. The surgeon will make incisions in the appropriate locations and perform the procedures, such as shaving the bone, reshaping the cartilage, lifting the skin, inserting implants, injecting fat, or altering the vocal cords. The surgeon will then close the incisions with sutures, staples, or glue.

The fifth step is to recover from the surgeries. You will need to stay in the hospital or clinic for one or two nights, depending on the extent of the surgeries. You will be given painkillers, antibiotics, and anti-inflammatory drugs to ease the discomfort and prevent infection. You will also need to wear compression garments, drains, and bandages to support the healing process and reduce swelling and bruising. You will need to follow the post-operative instructions given by the surgeon, such as avoiding strenuous activities, lifting heavy objects, and sleeping on your back or side. You will also need to attend regular follow-up visits to monitor your progress and remove the sutures, staples, or drains.

The final step is to enjoy the results of the surgeries. You will be able to see some improvement in your appearance immediately after the surgeries, but the final results will take several months to appear, as the swelling and bruising subside and the tissues settle. You will need to maintain a healthy lifestyle, such as eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding smoking and drinking, to preserve the results of the surgeries. You will also need to protect your skin from sun exposure and use scar creams or silicone sheets to minimize the visibility of the scars.
