There are facial traits that are considered more masculine or feminine. In general, certain features are more pronounced in a traditional masculine face, from the nose and brow to the chin and jawline. Smaller noses, chins and jaw width are equated as feminine, but many people have a combination of masculine and feminine traits. If you desire a more masculine appearance, there are cosmetic procedures to create the desired look for your face.
Chin Augmentation
The chin can make an enormous impact on the facial shape. A smaller, recessed or “weak” chin is perceived as feminine on an otherwise masculine face. It also creates an imbalance, making the forehead and nose appear larger. Chin augmentation can create a chin that is more pronounced and masculine. This can be achieved with chin implant surgery or non-surgical chin fillers can be used for a temporary solution.
Jawline Definition
A strong jawline is a masculine trait, with larger masseter muscles in the jaw and a more pronounced bone structure. Along with chin augmentation, the jawline can be enhanced for those with a slimmer or narrow jaw. Dermal filler injections can define the jaw or customized facial implants can be used to reshape the jawline.
Rhinoplasty
Many individuals have rhinoplasty performed to reduce their nose size or change the shape. For masculinization of the nose, it is often to make the nose more pronounced. Those with small or flat noses may want a higher bridge and a uniform appearance. As the central feature of the face, changing the nose size and shape can have a significant impact on creating a more masculine look. Rhinoplasty surgery can be performed for permanent nose reshaping, but liquid nose job procedures can also be completed for a non-surgical option.
