[Eye feminization].

Abstract

Eye feminization embraces surgical and non-surgical aesthetic procedures used in order to feminize upper third of the face. Eye feminization is indicated for transwomen during facial gender affirming surgery, and also for aging women. During aging, volume of facial osseous and soft tissues is decreasing, the orbit is squeletonizing, with skin sagging, evolving in a more masculine appearance of the orbital area. Upper eye area analyze (forehead, temple, eyebrow, eyelid, external canthus) as lower eye area analyze (zygoma, dark circle, palpebral bags, eyelid skin) must be assessed in preferential order in order to maximize good post-therapeutic results. Procedures include bony surgery (frontoplasty, orbitoplasty), browlift, external canthoplasty, fat grafting, and also classic eyelid surgery or aesthetic medicine injections.
