Why do I look more masculine? What can be done to fix it? (Photo)

Thank you for the photos.  It is still too early to make any statements about final shape of the face or the smile.  Please follow your surgeons advice about healing after surgery.  Please also let them know of your concerns. 

I don't have the specifics of the operation but it sounds like you had quite a bit in the midface area. There certainly is persistent swelling. I think you need to wait at least a year before becoming too terribly concerned about a final outcome.

Thank you for the pictures.  In my opinion you possibly still have some swelling.  This swelling will not allow the muscles in that area to function as well.  Once the swelling has resolved then this should improve your ability to smile more effectively

After reviewing your photos, I feel that you do not look more masculine. In fact, your results are excellent, and I commend you and your surgeon for accomplishing this. However, yours is a good question to address. Any time we (as surgeons) revise the face (from fillers to surgery) we should be able to understand what the overall outcome will be. It is not too hard to fix lines, or change shape. The real art lies in understanding the dynamic face, and its proportions. As humans, (and this differs by culture) we are generally able to assess in a moment whether someone is male or female. We subconsciously process asymmetry, proportion, age, and expression. Part of the work plastic surgeons have is to address patient concerns, and meet expectations, while also understanding how our interventions will affect the way patients look. So, you have asked a good question. In fact, I often see women who feel their look is "too masculine", and they want surgery for a softer appearance (and vice versa for men.) This is not an unreasonable goal, and is addressed by filler and surgery.For you in particular, I don't think you look more masculine (and I say this with the experienced professional eye.) However I do think that, after only three months, it is not surprising that you look in the mirror and have a reaction to your new face--especially given the extent of your procedures. Give it time...your mind needs time to adjust to your new reflection. This is true for all patients.

You might want to consider fillers, like Voluma, or even fat grafting to add more volume to your cheeks and chin to give you a more feminine appearance.

Masculine look after cheek lift, nose and chin surgery?  I would need to see you and feel your face to determine exactly what could be done. It is quite soon since your surgery but your cheek with may have actually pulled your lower lids down.

Hi.. thank you for the question and photos... you do not look masculine. Evaluating your case... I suggest you a eyebrow lift to improve the dynamic and contour qualities of the face. 

Believe it or not, you still have some swelling from the procedure. You are trying to judge the results too soon. As a rule you need 9 months to a year to be able to tell the result from any type of surgical procedure in the face. Do not add any other procedure at this time to your face. also, in my humble opinion, you do not look masculine; a little swollen, maybe!Hope this helpsDr. Gus Diaz

What you are looking at are not yet your final results, at 3 month post op you are still swollen.In your post op pictures it looks to me that you have botox injection in your  forehead that make your eyebrows horizontal, that is a masculine attribute. It also looks as if you have some fillers injected too.

Thanks for your question. You do not look masculine. Everyone heals differently, so you may still be in the healing period. I cannot say for sure without having examined you in person. If you are concerned about the results, then you can contact your surgeon.
