This surgery reshapes bones and soft tissues so that the face appears more masculine.
The surgeon will consider the proportional balance of the face and facial tissues prior to surgery. The reconstructive surgery may be a single procedure or multi-staged concerning the following six facial features:
- Forehead Lengthening & Augmentation Surgery
This aims to get a wider forehead, thick but not bushy eyebrows, restructuring the frontal bone and the frontal sinus while lifting the hairline to increase the space between the frontal bone and the hairline.
- Masculine cheekbone surgery
As male cheekbones are flatter, wider and more angular than female ones, masculinizing cheekbone surgery may thus involve shaving, augmenting, or reducing depending on the underlying bone structure.
- Rhinoplasty (for a masculine nose)
A surgery to achieve a larger and wider nasal bridge more like amasculine nose
- Masculine Genitoplasty/Mentoplasty
A chin contouring surgery to achieve a more masculine chin
- Jaw augmentation (Masculine Jaw Surgery)
This aims to achieve a stronger, thicker, more chiseled jawline, involving jaw augmentation, contouring, balancing it with facial width while integrating this with chin augmentation and contouring for balance.
- Adam's apple implant (Tracheal Augmentation)
