[Frontotemporal volumetry to rejuvenate and re-feminize the face]. / Volumétrie frontotemporale pour rajeunir et re-féminiser le visage.

The author became interested in facial volume in the 1990s, during the period when he oversaw the feminization of the facial skeleton to improve the social integration of male transsexual patients. At that time, it was skeletal surgery. Very quickly, these techniques were extended to genetic women who wanted a more feminine face. The study of facial aging allowed the author to define criteria for frontotemporal aging, particularly an evolution with age towards a frontotemporal masculinization. The volumetric frontotemporal correction has thus become an essential element of facial rejuvenation. The evolution then, naturally took place towards the concept of frontotemporal beauty.

[Facial feminization, history, evolution of objectives]. / Féminisation faciale, historique, évolution des objectifs.

The author's experience dates from 1990, during the period when he was in charge of the feminization of the facial skeleton in order to improve the social integration of male transsexual patients. Very quickly, these techniques were extended to genetic women who wanted a more feminine face. This facial skeletal surgery was then supplemented with soft tissue surgery. This skeletal and volumetric surgery has become an important contribution in the search of facial rejuvenation and beauty.
