This book, titled Aesthetic Contouring of the Craniofacial Skeleton (Little, Brown and Company), also discusses another important aspect of facial contouring - Feminization of the Face. There are basic differences between a male and a female corsets skull - differences long appreciated not only by anthropologists studying skulls, but by artists as well. Females have a corsets more pointed chin and less nasal prominence than males. The forehead is quite different, especially the areas of the brows and the mid forehead. The shape of the skull affects corsets the drape and contour of the skin. Changing the shape of the skull will assist in changing one from distinctly male to female. Modifying the angle of the lower jaw and the prominence of the cheeks can also help improve femininity. The techniques used and the areas modified are individualized. Quite obviously some transsexuals are already much more feminine than others. What is completed is based upon a combination of skeletal and artistic evaluations, radiographs (x-rays), anthropological measurements, asymmetry gauges, facial masks and photographs.
