Facial Masculinization Surgery
Among the results that FMS procedures achieve are a wider and more square jaw line through the use of bone shaping and/or chin implants; making the brow ridge more prominent; and creating a more handsome nose.
The most common facial procedures for a more masculine appearance include:
What is Facial Masculinization Surgery (FMS)?
Facial Masculinization Surgery transforms facial features to create a more masculine appearance. As part of the gender confirmation transformation, FMS procedures help trans men improve confidence, reduce gender dysphoria and improve quality of life.
During your consultation at the Trans Top Surgery Center, you can share your gender affirmation image goals with Dr. Sheldon Lincenberg. He will discuss procedures that will help achieve your goals and answer any questions you might have about the surgery.

Adam’s Apple (Thyroid Cartilage) Enhancement
Having an Adam’s apple is a key feature of a masculine face so creating an Adam’s apple for trans men is an important part of their transformation. Dr. Lincenberg constructs an Adam’s apple by using a cartilage graft.
Adam’s apple enhancement surgery does not affect the vocal function. It does, however, result in a more masculine appearance.
Chin Augmentation
The strength or weakness of the chin and jawline relative to the rest of the face is very important in attributing masculinity or femininity to the face. Dr. Lincenberg has spoken at national meetings about his observations on this relationship.
A pronounced chin can look very masculine, so if you are in the process of transitioning, you may find that a chin augmentation is the perfect cosmetic procedure for you. Dr. Lincenberg helps trans men have a more masculine, angular chin and jaw line through bone grafts, implants and/or fillers. At your consultation, you will discuss your gender-affirming image goals with Dr. Lincenberg and he will recommend the best way of accomplishing those goals.
Nose Reshaping (Rhinoplasty)
The nose is the focal point of the face. Because men’s noses are more prominent than a woman’s nose, Dr. Lincenberg usually uses bone and cartilage grafts to achieve stronger, more angular noses for trans men.
Nose reshaping is a customized, one-of-a-kind procedure for each person. Over the years, Dr. Lincenberg has gained extensive experience in nose reshaping for all of his patients. He has learned how important it is to listen to his patients and understand what they want to achieve.
At the initial consultation, the patient is given a mirror and asked to identify the things that bother them the most about their nose. These desired changes become the foundation of the operative plan which Dr. Lincenberg uses to achieve their objectives. Each operation is individualized to the specific patient which leads to a higher satisfaction rate and a lower revision rate.
