Masculinization of the face...

[TNH]

chin will grow no matter how old you are with high dosages or long duration use. Jaw will stop growing if it hasn't already and you are still young and in teens or early twenties (estrogen causes ossification). Cheek bones might grow to some degree if you are in twenties. Nose will grow a little. Skin will get grainy, and pores get bigger. ALl these things make females who jucie, especially the chn thing, look fucked up.

Test can make your nose grow?

I remember after a big cycle last year, a friend that hadn't seen me for a while said I looked huge, and my nose had grown. I thought he was full of shit.........but could he have been right? My nose is definitely alot bigger than when I was younger, but I didnt notice anything directly after a cycle.

The low body fat makes the face look more masculine, but all the factors mentioned so far in this thread are only a minor part of the reason.

Most masculinising affects are the result of changes to the texture of the skin. Androgens give males their masculine complexion after puberty. I am very surprised that no one has mentioned this.

That's why convincing transvestities often look feminine, not because they have changed their bone structure but because they have a feminine skin tone.

Essentially 80% of masculinisation is the result of skin changes and 20% is the result of a combination of everything else.

do steroids cause jaw growth in any of you....not growth hormone...steroids???

I grind my teeth real bad-wear a mouthgaurd at night- it appears to work the jaw muscles pretty good some mornings. .

Enjoyed reading that DCS thanks - good info and I totally agree with you! I also thought it was common knowledge that women should stay well away from heavy androgens because the sides associated with androgens are THE worst and heavy long term use will have serious repercussions even for men, but we all know that the top "female" pro's take loads of them to stay competitive, and the consequences are there for everyone to see!
Virilization:- The attainment of characteristics of a mature male, women who use steroids risk virilizing effects -- caused by ANDROGENS which exist in all steroids to a varying degree!!!

I am a female bb, and I don't have any changes in my face... I also have never taken any hard androgen.. the women who's face changes, slam rediculous amounts of test.. my theory is that they don't see it right away and they love how they look (being reinforced by the shmoes that surround most of them) and they continue to use...

even when I am dry for a show my face doesn't look in the least masculine, so it can't be fat loss... I have heard that if you take MASS amounts of anything.. be it gh, or androgens, it will have something to do with changes in your face.. but if you take it slow and small amounts, and clean out periodically, you can preserve your look.
