Male Facial Procedures in Miami, FL
Everyone wants to feel good about the way they look. While some patients may feel dissatisfied about their wrinkles or flabby midsection, there are those who experience a different type of unhappiness that is about more than just their appearance.
Gender dysphoria is when an individual feels their true gender identity does not match their biological sex or physical characteristics. Fortunately, Dr. Mendieta specializes in male to female MTF plastic surgery transition procedures for trans women who desire more feminine features to help them feel like their true self.
Am I a Good Candidate?
Any man who is looking to improve or enhance his facial features can be a good candidate for male facial surgery. Men who have concerns about sagging skin or fatty areas around their neck and chin, referred to as “jowls”, are good candidates for facelift or neck lift procedures.
Cosmetic surgery can be a good way for men to enhance or create attractive, rugged facial contours, such as strong cheekbones or a defined jawline. Men who want to feel younger and look more refreshed can also benefit from male facial surgery.

Procedures
Facial Feminization*: By softening tissues and manipulating bones, facial feminization surgery can transform a masculine aesthetic into the female equivalent. Many patients view this type of feminization surgery as a full acceptance of their new gender identity. Because male and female faces have distinct features, facial feminization surgery is often an important step in transitioning. As a general rule, facial feminization softens, accentuates, and rounds masculine features. The overall goal is an oval-shaped, feminine profile as opposed to a square, masculine profile.
Forehead Contouring*: Forehead contouring transforms masculine features into feminine features. Through a sequence of cosmetic surgeries, brow bones are shaped, eyebrows are elevated, and an overall feminine appearance is achieved. Through hairline incisions, excess bone over the front of the sinuses is removed to reveal a more open aesthetic around the eyes. Eyebrows become arched to create a feminine look. If you are considering forehead contouring procedures, you may not be a candidate if you have a receding hairline.
Cheek Extension*: Male profiles are often flat and wide while female facial profiles tend to protrude more. Through the use of bone grafting, fat injection, and synthetic implants, masculine-shaped cheeks can appear more defined. As with any surgery, incisions are required. In the case of cheek sculpting, incisions are hidden inside the mouth for zero visible scars.
Rhinoplasty*: Because every nose is different, every rhinoplasty surgery must be customized to fit the individual’s needs. Rhinoplasty begins with a small columella incision, which allows access to the nasal cavity. Any bulges are minimized through a sequence of purposeful osteotomies (fractures). The bridge and tip of the nose is narrowed and accentuated. If any internal septum issues are present they will be tended to as the nose is aligned for a sleek, symmetrical appearance.
Lip Augmentation*: Because female lips are typically fuller than male lips, lip augmentation plumps and firms both the upper and lower lips. This type of feminization can be achieved through fat injections, skin grafting, or by injecting cosmetic fillers. Men usually have a longer distance between the base of the nose and the top of the lips, resulting in a stretched appearance. Feminine lip augmentation lifts the newly plumped tissue to create a pouty effect.
Mandible Reduction/Contouring*: Through mandible reduction surgery, wide, bulky jawlines of male patients are contoured and molded into a more feminine look. Excess bone in the male jaw is shaved down to reveal a softer, more feminine contour. Incisions are made within the mouth to minimize any visible scarring.
Chin Surgery*: The length and width of a chin can be decreased through a small cut inside a patient’s mouth. A physician will consult with candidates before prepping for surgery in order to create the shapeliest chin possible. The overall outcome is achieved by cutting, adding, and reshaping the bones of the chin. The finished chin shape will be held in place by small plates.
Tracheal Shave (Thyroid Carilage Reduction)*: Through a microscopic, concealed incision, a main masculine identifier can be addressed. Often called an “Adam’s apple”, the trachea can be shaved to drastically reduce its appearance, creating a feminine aesthetic. Patients should heavily consider possible risk factors such as voice changes before deciding on a tracheal shave.
Buttock-Body Contouring*: Liposuction and tummy tuck surgery can enhance male and female appearances. We also offer cutting-edge butt lift techniques that are increasingly popular.
Cosmetic Breast Surgery*: Our clinic offers a full array of breast enhancement options for every gender. Patients transitioning from male to female most often undergo breast augmentation for a more feminine chest.

What Will My Recovery be Like?
Butt injections is a minimally invasive procedure that requires little to no downtime. Butt injection patients are free to resume their normal activities as long as they feel comfortable. During your butt injections recovery, you can expect mild bruising and swelling for five to seven days, and you must avoid applying pressure to your buttocks for two to three weeks.
What Results Can I Expect From Male to Female Transition?
Some patients experience mild bruising and swelling after receiving butt injections. But these side effects dissipate within two to three weeks. The final outcome is visible once the residual swelling subsides. Results are immediately noticeable after the first session; but patients report the most pleasing effects after the second or third treatment. Butt injection results typically do not require touch-ups for as long as two years.
