Can Further Facial Width Reduction Be Done?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I’m a transsexual female and I am wondering if you are able to reduce skull and face width. I have already had a cheekbone reduction so I am not sure if any more can be taken off.

A: I am not sure whether your cheekbone reduction was by shaving osteotomy which would determine whether any more with reduction can be done in t6he midface. The skull and jawline which you did not mention as being yet treated can have width reduced thtrugh temporal muscle and jaw bone reduction. But I would need a front view picture of your head/face to do some imaging to show you how much further craniofacial width reduction can be achieved.
