Malarplasty Feminization Surgeries

Difference between male and female cheekbones

In facial feminization, malarplasty is closely linked to mentoplasty. One of the fundamental differences between the male and female facial structure is that the male structure is more square. This is because the angles of the male jaw are more robust, with a more vertical projection. The female facial structure is smaller, finer, the branches of the jaw are more oblique inwards, from top to bottom and from outside to inside, in addition the angle of the mandible is not very pronounced and the cheekbones and chin are usually more projected showing a more triangular appearance.

When we have a very square facial bone structure, typically male, many times it is not necessary to perform surgeries that affect this structure, through malarplasty (placement of cheekbone prostheses) we can achieve a more feminine triangular structure, projecting the cheekbones.
