What Is Jaw Feminization?

Jaw feminization is a customized surgical approach designed to refine the lower third of the face and create a softer, more harmonious appearance.

Facial structure naturally varies from person to person. In general, a more masculine jaw may appear broader or more angular, while a softer feminine contour often features smoother transitions through the jawline and chin.
Our goal is not to create a one-size-fits-all appearance. Instead, we carefully evaluate your facial proportions and discuss the changes that may best complement your features.
  • Create smoother, softer transitions along the lower face.
  • Improve the relationship between the jaw, chin, cheeks and other facial features.
  • Treatment is planned around your individual anatomy and aesthetic goals.
