What is Facial Masculinization Surgery?

Facial masculinization surgery is a group of procedures that enhance the masculinity of the face. Surgical procedures often involve reshaping bones or soft tissues to change facial features. Procedures may include forehead contouring, nose reshaping, or enhancements to the jaw or chin.
‍
Many trans men begin their gender-affirming journey with hormone therapy. Hormones can begin to emphasize certain features. Face masculinization surgery can yield significant enhancements.

Non-surgical procedures can provide temporary results. Facial masculinization surgery yields permanent changes to facial features.

Facial Masculinization Surgery Options

Forehead Contouring:

This procedure involves reshaping the bone and soft tissue to emphasize the forehead.

Rhinoplasty:

As one of few gender surgeons who are active members of the Rhinoplasty Society, Dr. Rodriguez has a unique philosophy and approach. She performs endonasal or closed rhinoplasty. This approach reduces the amount of trauma and swelling and yields more predictable results than a conventional rhinoplasty.

Jaw Augmentation:

In this procedure, implants create a more angular jawline.

Chin Reshaping:

Through implants and reshaping of soft tissue, the chin can be made more prominent and angular.
