There is a link between testosterone and facial masculinization! We recommend hormone replacement therapy for most patients to promote masculine features over time. However, these changes are usually gradual. For more dynamic results, we still recommend facial masculinization surgery so you can achieve your ideal look reliably.

What is facial masculinization surgery?
If you’re planning a male-to-female (MTF) transition, a tracheal shave is an effective procedure to enhance your traditionally feminine look.
If you’re planning to transition from female to male (FTM), it’s important to account for several traits that we generally associate with masculine faces. Cosmetic Surgery Affiliates is here to help with our thorough options for facial masculinization in Jacksonville:
- Adam's apple surgery
- Cheek augmentation
- Chin recontouring
- Forehead lengthening or augmentation
- Jaw contouring
- Rhinoplasty
What to Expect From Facial Masculinization Surgery
01
Consultation
Before your surgery, you’ll meet with our cosmetic team to talk through which facial procedures you’re interested in. We’ll examine your face and help you plan out your new look. Together we can develop a personalized treatment plan based on the services that will make the most impact for you.
02
Surgery
At your appointment, you’ll visit our practice and ask us any last minute questions you may have. Then we’ll place you under general anesthesia and begin your operation. Many times, we can treat multiple areas in one session, but for complex or in-depth procedures, we may need multiple sessions to achieve the best results.
03
Recovery
You will need several days to recover from your session, and you should avoid any overexertion during this period. Over time, you’ll be able to increase your capabilities, but you will need to visit us for a follow-up appointment before you are fully cleared to resume your normal routine.
04
Results
After you’ve fully healed, you should be able to notice your enhanced facial features and masculine look. We specialize in natural-looking, subtle results that improve your masculine appearance to best represent your inner self. Once you’ve healed, we’ll be standing by to further assist with your transition.
