We use feminine/masculine characteristics as a planning framework, always individualised to the patient's goals, anatomy and background — they're not fixed standards. Broadly feminine ('curves'): higher, rounder cheek volume; support for arched brows; a smaller/narrower, projected chin; a softer, less angular jaw; smooth transitions. Broadly masculine ('angles'): stronger, flatter brow support; prominent cheekbones (more lateral/apex); a wider, squarer chin; a defined mandibular angle and border; sharper transitions. So the same tools map differently: on cheeks, feminine leans to the apex/roundness, masculine to structural cheekbone; on chin, feminine stays within alar-crease width and projects, masculine widens toward the mouth corners; on jaw, feminine goes inferior-lateral, masculine goes lateral for a stronger angle. Plan the whole face and the transitions, not one area in isolation — and let the patient's wishes lead.
The point that these are frameworks, not rules, matters — ask what the patient actually wants and read their anatomy and heritage rather than imposing a template.
