How to make my face less masculine and still keep my features? (Photo)

sublingualApr 28, 2015
I've come to terms with the fact that I will never look like the typical beauty standard (slim facial features, slightly wide-set eyes and a child-like face). That's fine. But could any cosmetic surgeons advise on how I can make the lower half of my face appear more feminine? I'm not sure if it's the nose, or the lips... or both! What surgery(ies) would you folks recommend?

Natural rhinoplasty for bulbous tip, hump etc.will give you a more attractive and feminine appearance. You may benefit from a chin implant as well but i need to see a profile. See an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon whose noses you like.

Facial feminization of the forehead is something I have done for 35 years and I need to see photos for evaluation. The excess bone can be shaved and the hairline lowered or raised. Face forward and profile photos are preferred.

I have done facial fem. surgery for more than 35 years. You do NOT need jaw contouring, only the chin implant. Your lower cheeks give u the fullness and nothing to do for that and you will age better because of this.
