Men and women have distinct jaw appearances so jaw shape is one of the significant facial features that can help affirm the gender of an individual. A masculine jaw tends to be wider (square-shaped), have a heavy build, and be more prominent than a feminine jaw. The reason is the large masseter muscles- the muscles attached on either jawbone corners and aiding in chewing in case of people assigned male at birth. Females typically have predominating softer jaw lines, a gentle curve extending from the earlobe to the chin. Those who don’t are recommended to undergo jaw reduction or contouring surgery or Chin Reduction in India with Dr. Parag Telang, a famous facial feminization surgeon to make their face more feminine and slender.

What is FFS jaw surgery?

FFS jaw surgery is a cosmetic operation done on people with masculine jawlines desiring facial feminization. It is either executed alone by a plastic or cosmetic surgeon or else as a part of the facial feminization surgery (FFS) process. The procedure involves reducing, lowering, or trimming the prominent areas of the jawbone, and bones of both mandibular angles. It is done through intraoral incisions, leaving behind no noticeable scarring. Usually, it is performed alongside chin recontouring/reduction so that there is a facial harmonious balance.

What are the results of FFS jaw surgery?

FFS jaw surgery typically helps refine the jawline/mandibular angles and improve the facial proportions and asymmetries. The results obtained by jaw contouring and reduction procedures include:

• Rounder and less squared jawline- This is possible because of bone reshaping of the back corner of the lower jaw.
• A narrower and more feminine jaw- This is due to the shaving of the bone of the lower jaw edge. The bone shaving is done layer by layer. All of the cortical outer layers of the bone of the jaw can be removed from either side of the jaw without damaging the structural jaw integrity. A narrow jaw is also created by reducing the masseter muscles.
