Perché il rimodellamento della mascella e la rimodellazione della mandibola sono fondamentali nella FFS

The jaw and mandible (lower jawbone) are among the most sexually dimorphic features of the face. Men typically have a squarer, broader jawline with a more pronounced chin, while women tend to have a softer, more tapered jawline and a delicate chin. For transgender women, these masculine features can be a significant source of gender dysphoria, making jaw contouring and mandible reshaping some of the most sought-after procedures in FFS.

La scienza dietro la mascella femminile

Research in facial aesthetics has identified several key differences between masculine and feminine jawlines:

Impatto psicologico ed emotivo

Beyond the physical changes, jaw contouring and mandible reshaping can have a profound psychological impact. Many patients report:

• Riduzione della disforia di genere, particularly when looking in the mirror or at photos.
• Maggiore fiducia in social and professional settings.
• A greater sense of alignment between their inner identity and outward appearance.

Tecniche chirurgiche: come vengono eseguiti il rimodellamento della mascella e la rimodellazione della mandibola

Jaw contouring and mandible reshaping are highly customized procedures, tailored to each patient’s unique facial structure and goals. Below, we outline the most common techniques used in FFS.

1. Riduzione dell'angolo mandibolare (rasatura della mascella)

Mandibular angle reduction, often referred to as jaw shaving, is one of the most common procedures in FFS. It involves:

• Shaving down the bony angles of the jaw to create a softer, more tapered appearance.
• Using surgical burrs or osteotomes to carefully reshape the bone.
• Preserving the masseter muscle and surrounding soft tissue for natural results.

Best for: Patients with a wide or square jawline who want a more feminine, V-shaped jaw.

2. Osteotomia mandibolare (riposizionamento della mascella)

For patients with a protruding or overly large mandible, a mandibular osteotomia may be recommended. This procedure involves:

• Cutting the jawbone and repositioning it to reduce projection.
• Using titanium plates and screws to secure the bone in its new position.
• Potentially combining with genioplasty (chin surgery) for comprehensive results.

Best for: Patients with significant jaw projection or an overly large chin.

3. Genioplastica (rimodellamento del mento)

Genioplasty focuses specifically on the chin and can be performed in conjunction with jaw contouring. The procedure may include:

• Reducing chin height or width for a more delicate appearance.
• Advancing or recessing the chin to improve facial balance.
• Softening the chin’s edges to eliminate a “masculine” square shape.

Best for: Patients with a prominent or square chin that detracts from a feminine aesthetic.

4. Riduzione del muscolo massetere (opzione non chirurgica)

For patients who prefer a non-surgical approach or have a less pronounced jawline, riduzione del muscolo massetere using Botox or surgical reduction may be an option. This technique:

• Reduces the size of the masseter muscle, which contributes to jaw width.
• Creates a softer, more tapered jawline over time.
• Is often used as a complement to surgical jaw contouring.

Best for: Patients with mild jaw widening due to muscle hypertrophy rather than bone structure.

Paziente A: Superare la disforia di genere con il rimodellamento della mascella

“Before FFS, my jawline was a constant source of dysphoria. Every time I looked in the mirror, I felt like my face didn’t match who I was inside. After consulting with my chirurgo, we decided on mandibular angle reduction and genioplasty. The recovery was challenging, but seeing my face transform over the months was worth every moment. For the first time, I feel like I can truly see myself.”

Paziente B: una trasformazione sottile ma che cambia la vita

“I was nervous about changing my jaw because I didn’t want to look ‘overdone.’ My surgeon recommended a conservative approach with jaw shaving and a slight chin reduction. The results were subtle but profound—I still look like myself, just a more feminine version. My confidence has skyrocketed, and I no longer avoid photos or social situations.”

Paziente C: Combinazione del contorno della mascella con altre procedure FFS

“I opted for a full FFS, including jaw contouring, forehead reconstruction, and a rinoplastica. The jaw surgery was the most intimidating part for me, but my surgeon explained every step, and the recovery was smoother than I expected. Now, when I look in the mirror, I see the woman I’ve always known I was. It’s been a journey, but I wouldn’t change a thing.”
