Buttock Reduction
Buttock reduction for trans male clients is a gender-affirming procedure aimed at creating a more masculine body contour. It typically involves liposuction to reduce fat in the buttocks and surrounding areas, helping to achieve a flatter and more angular appearance.
What is Buttock Reduction?
In cases where there is looseness and sagging of the buttock skin, a true buttock lift may be performed to eliminate excess hanging skin and subcutaneous tissues of the lower buttock. In cases that demonstrate extreme laxity and wrinkling of the entire buttock, sometimes a lift of the entire buttock is done by a dermolipectomy of the upper border of the buttock. This removes excessive skin and subcutaneous tissues and elevates the entire buttock giving it a higher, rounder, firmer, and younger appearance. This procedure results in a curved scar along the entire upper border of the buttock.

Talk with the surgeon about their experience — not only with cosmetic surgery in general, but specifically with facial feminization procedures.

You need to partner with a surgeon who has the precise surgical skills that you need as well as the empathetic and understanding approach that you deserve.
Ask to see before and after photos of previous surgeries that the surgeon has completed. The gallery should include photographs of patients who have had the forehead contouring surgery performed by that surgeon.
Ask questions — and lots of them. The surgeon that you choose should be willing to answer all of your questions about this procedure, about their specific approach and about the results that you will receive. The right surgeon will open, honest, patient and transparent.

Preparing for Your Forehead Contouring Surgery
In the weeks leading up to your surgery, it is important that you prepare yourself both physically and emotionally for the procedure. These are some steps that you should take:
Talk with your surgeon about taking HRT prior to your surgery. Depending on the procedure, you may need to stop some medications several days leading up to the surgery. Your physician and your surgeon can provide you with specific instructions regarding HRT.
Consult with your doctor about any medications that you are taking to determine if you can continue taking them prior to the procedure.
Avoid smoking and do not drink excessively in the weeks leading up to the procedure. Your body should be in good physical and emotional health for the surgery.
You may be required to fast prior to the procedure due to the use of anesthesia. Your surgeon will tell you when you need to stop eating and drinking before the surgery.

Surgery
Dr. Sheldon Lincenberg begins the forehead contouring procedure by making a discrete incision near the hairline. Then, he works to shape the brow bone, in order to reduce its prominence and soften the individual's facial features. The type and amount of sculpting that is performed depends heavily on the patient's natural features and their goals for the surgery.
In addition, the rim bones around the eye sockets are sometimes removed and reshaped in order to achieve the desired results. Finally, specialized bone paste may be used in order to smooth out the patient's new appearance and create the best possible look for them.
Forehead Contouring Recovery
The forehead contouring procedure is a major surgical procedure, and patients should be prepared to endure a recovery that may last for between 2 and 4 weeks. The exact length of the recovery process will depend on the amount of work that was performed and the number of FFS procedures that were completed at once.
While the forehead contouring surgery is an outpatient procedure, due to the nature of the surgery, there is the potential for an overnight stay. You should discuss this possibility with your surgeon in advance and prepare accordingly.
In most cases, you will be able to resume your normal daily activities within 4 to 6 weeks. However, you may find that you experience forehead numbness for up to a year while your body heals.

After a bit of research it became clear Dr. Lincenberg’s office was the best choice. Upon calling to schedule a consultation, I was greeted by friendly and charismatic staff. The environment is overwhelmingly comfortable; something that’s crucial to avoid anxiety in this stress-inducing process. Dr. Lincenberg is experienced and personable, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results of my surgery." - Kayden
