In this 2011 article in the Annals of Plastic Surgery, Douglas K. Ousterhout, M.D., D.D.S., outlines how the male facial skeleton differs from the female: it is generally larger and more angular, with more prominent bossing of the forehead and brow area, a chin that is on average vertically taller, and a larger jaw angle that tends to flare outward.
Drawing on these differences, Dr. Ousterhout reports on six patients who wanted a more masculine face and underwent surgery on the forehead, chin, and jaw. He reports that all six did well, without complications. Facial masculinization surgery is offered today at the Deschamps-Braly Clinic, which continues Dr. Ousterhout’s San Francisco practice.
