Should a female with a masculine face get facial feminization surgery?

July 26, 2017
Asked By:slast in Towson, MD

I'm a biological female with a masculine face. It's long & bony, and my limited supply of facial fat is diminishing at an alarming rate now that I'm 30. My eyes are tiny, sunken, & deep-set, and my nose is too big for my face/eyes (though it would look fine mounted on ply board.) My chin looks longer each year & I'm starting to resemble an NFL player. It's awful to look so manly, and it's scary knowing this will just worsen with age. Is facial feminization recommended for a female like me?
