Yes, Facial Masculinization Surgery (FMS) can change the appearance of your brow ridge in profile view. The brow ridge, also known as the supraorbital ridge or the frontal bossing, is the bony prominence above the eyes. It is one of the key features that differentiate male and female facial characteristics.
FMS procedures can address the brow ridge to achieve a more masculine appearance. Some common FMS procedures that can impact the appearance of the brow ridge in profile view include:
- Brow Bone Contouring: Brow bone contouring involves reshaping the brow ridge to reduce its prominence and achieve a more masculine and flat appearance.
- Forehead Contouring: As part of forehead contouring procedures, the brow ridge may be addressed to achieve a more masculine forehead profile.
- Hairline Advancement: Advancing the hairline can also impact the perceived prominence of the brow ridge, creating a more masculine forehead.
By addressing the brow ridge in profile view, FMS can contribute to a more balanced and masculine facial appearance.
As with any surgical procedure, it’s essential to work with an experienced FMS surgeon who can assess your unique facial features and discuss your desired outcomes. They will recommend the most appropriate procedures to achieve a natural and masculine appearance while maintaining facial harmony.
Keep in mind that while FMS can have a significant impact on the appearance of the brow ridge in profile view, each individual’s anatomy is unique, and the results will vary. A thorough consultation with your surgeon is essential to ensure that your expectations are realistic, and the planned procedures can achieve the desired outcomes.
