Feminizing Jaw and Chin Contouring Surgery

Dr. Chettawut’s Vaginal Dilation Philosophy

Feminizing Jaw and Chin Bone Contouring Surgery

Understanding Masculine Lower Face Features

A masculine lower face commonly features a prominent jawbone, especially at the mandibular angle, as well as a broad or square-shaped chin bone. In contrast, the shape of the lower jaw in females tends to have a more gradual curve or a “V” line. The goal of feminizing jaw and chin bone contouring surgery is to reshape the jawline to be femininely small, smooth, and sloping.

Causes of Mandibular Angle Prominence

The prominence of the mandibular angle primarily comes from the bony part rather than the cheek muscle. Dr. Chettawut typically does not reduce the amount of cheek muscle as this can affect chewing ability and cause prolonged swelling.

Preoperative Assessment

The exact amount and line of bone resection are determined through clinical examination and specific X-ray views. This ensures precise planning for the best surgical outcome.
