Facial Masculinization Surgery (FMS)
Facial masculinization surgery (FMS) in Mexico is a set of procedures designed to create a more masculine facial appearance by modifying bone structure and soft tissues. At TransCare MX in Tijuana, we offer personalized gender-affirming facial surgery for international patients seeking structured, natural, and proportionate results through advanced surgical techniques.
What is Facial Masculinization Surgery?
Facial masculinization is not a single procedure. It involves a combination of surgical techniques aimed at enhancing masculine facial features such as:
Stronger jawline
More prominent chin
Defined facial angles
Straighter nasal profile
Unlike feminization, which often reduces and smooths structures, masculinization focuses on augmentation, projection, and angular definition.
Types of Facial Masculinization Procedures
Depending on anatomy and goals, facial masculinization may include different combinations of procedures.
Jaw Augmentation
Enhancement of mandibular angles
Increased width and definition of lower face
May involve implants or structural modification
Chin Augmentation
Projection of the chin
Improved lower facial balance
May involve implants or sliding genioplasty
Rhinoplasty (Masculinization)
Creation of a straighter nasal dorsum
Adjustment of tip projection and rotation
Alignment with masculine facial proportions
Cheek Contouring (Selected Cases)
Reduction or reshaping to avoid excessive prominence
Balancing midface structure
Soft Tissue Procedures
Fat grafting for contour refinement
Adjustment of facial balance and transitions
Key Concept
Facial masculinization is based on proportion and structure, not just augmentation. Each surgical plan is fully customized.
