Facial Masculinization Surgery (FMS) typically focuses on altering the facial bones and soft tissues to create a more masculine appearance and does not directly address the neck or throat. FMS procedures are primarily targeted at modifying facial features, such as the jawline, forehead, cheeks, and chin, to achieve a more masculine facial profile.

However, it’s important to note that changes made to the lower face, such as jaw and chin procedures, can have some impact on the appearance of the neck and throat due to the interconnectedness of facial structures. For example, if FMS involves jaw contouring or chin augmentation, it may contribute to a more masculine and defined jawline, which can extend the effect to the lower part of the face and the neck.

Additionally, some individuals may choose to combine FMS with other gender-affirming procedures, such as Adam’s apple reduction (thyroid cartilage reduction), which can further enhance the masculine appearance of the neck.

For individuals specifically looking to address the appearance of the neck or throat, there are separate procedures available, such as neck liposuction to reduce excess fat under the chin or neck lift surgery to tighten sagging skin and muscles in the neck area. These procedures are distinct from FMS and should be discussed with a qualified cosmetic surgeon who specializes in neck rejuvenation.

As with any surgical procedure, it’s essential to work with an experienced surgeon who can assess your unique facial and neck features and discuss your desired outcomes. They will recommend the most appropriate procedures to achieve your goals while maintaining facial harmony and overall aesthetics.
