What Procedures are Involved in Masculinization?

For a truly masculine look, a customized surgical plan will be developed with you.

FTM Facial Surgery

Certain facial features signal femininity, while others are singularly masculine. FTM facial surgery can allow you to have more masculine facial features in the hairline, brows, forehead, nose, lips, jaw, chin, and facial hair. The ability to see the differences in facial structure with our Vectra® 3D imaging system makes the process very exciting because it allows you to “try on” different facial changes with digital imaging technology. What will you need? Only a personalized consultation will determine which procedures will help you achieve the masculine facial structure that creates the perfect look to reflect your vision.

TG Hair Restoration

Dr. Beck offers an advanced hair restoration technique that makes it possible to create masculine facial hair growth. Hair that can be enhanced includes the beard, eyebrows, sideburns, or a mustache. While hormone therapy does wonders in triggering the growth of facial hair, the final outcome may not be as thick and lush as you had hoped for. NeoGraft® hair restoration technology is far superior to the traditional methods of hair restoration and can allow you to have thick, masculine brows or facial hair that creates a more realistic masculine appearance.

Body Masculinization

How do you fully “masculinize” a body? Only a custom surgical plan can answer that question for you.

Various surgical procedures may be required, including top surgery to achieve an upper chest that is flat and athletic to liposuction to trim away areas of excess fat that are giving your body a female look. Dr. Beck’s goal is to provide you with a body that appears trimmer, sleeker, and more masculine. In other words, more you.
