Generally male faces are more angular, square in comparison to female faces, who have softer features. Female to male transgender individuals may find the fat distribution on their faces change with hormonal therapy, however to achieve more masculine features, dermal fillers are used to augment tissues impacting facial shape, contours and definition. Frequently treated areas are the brow, nose, chin and jawline.
