Procedures to look more masculine

Men are more frequently seeking facial plastic surgery to look more masculine, as the Men’s Journal reports. Jaw augmentation, fat injections for facial balancing, rhinoplasty, and cheek augmentation are among the top procedures requested.

Gender reassignment transitioning procedure

The transition direction greatly influences which procedures are most desirable. For men transitioning to women, softer facial and nose lines are desirable, as well as Adam’s apple reduction. For women transitioning to men, facial liposuction, jawline firming and facial rebalancing are often desirable.

Feminine and Masculine Image Ideals Across Cultures

One of the most interesting areas within plastic surgery is how image ideals can change between cultures. For patients from different cultures, the goal to look “more feminine” or “more masculine” may mean very different things!

For example, South Korean masculine image ideals incorporate a toned, muscular physique with soft facial features more commonly associated with female faces. Such as oval jawlines, softened cheekbones, bigger eyes, double eyelids, and a higher nose bridge. In contrast, Australian facial plastic surgery procedures often focus on squaring the jawline, nose and eyelid lifts, ear corrections, liposuction, and facelifts.

To ensure your selected surgeon has the training and expertise to deliver the results you want to achieve, you should spend time looking at his past body of work, including before and after photos of other clients.
