Yes, Facial Masculinization Surgery (FMS) can change the appearance of your brow ridge to create a more masculine facial profile. The brow ridge, also known as the supraorbital rim or brow bossing, is the bony prominence above the eyes. In some individuals, a more prominent brow ridge is considered a masculine facial feature.
FMS procedures can address the brow ridge in various ways to achieve a more masculine appearance:
- Brow Contouring: FMS can involve brow contouring procedures to enhance the prominence of the brow ridge. This can be achieved by modifying the bone structure to create a stronger and more pronounced brow ridge.
- Forehead Contouring: If the brow ridge is combined with other forehead features that are considered more feminine, such as a rounded or sloping forehead, forehead contouring can be performed to achieve a more flat and masculine forehead appearance.
- Brow Lift: In some cases, FMS may include a brow lift to reposition the eyebrows and create a more masculine brow position and contour.
The specific FMS procedures used to address the brow ridge will depend on your individual facial features and aesthetic goals. Working with an experienced FMS surgeon is crucial to assess your unique needs and recommend the most appropriate procedures to achieve a natural and masculine brow appearance while maintaining facial harmony.
As with any surgery, it’s important to have a thorough consultation with your surgeon, understand the potential risks and benefits, and set realistic expectations for the outcomes. Your surgeon will help guide you through the decision-making process and create a personalized treatment plan to achieve the desired results for your brow ridge and overall facial appearance.
