What is facial masculinization surgery?

The goal of facial masculinization surgery, or masculinizing facial surgery, is to transform the feminine features of the face to a more masculine or nonbinary appearance. Facial masculinization surgery is performed as either a single procedure or as multiple staged procedures. Surgical manipulation of the bone and soft tissues of the face create a masculine appearance. There are many techniques used to perform facial masculinization surgery, and many factors should be taken into consideration when choosing which options are best-suited for each individual.
