Facial Feminization Chicago
Facial feminization is the term given to a collection of procedures designed to make facial features more feminine. The Plastic Surgery Clinic of Chicago personalizes each and every treatment we perform by completing a full facial evaluation and discussing all possible options with you. No matter what look you want to achieve, we are confident that we can help you look and feel like the best version of yourself.
AM I A CANDIDATE FOR FACIAL FEMINIZATION?
You may be a good candidate for facial feminization if you are a female who believes your facial features appear too masculine, a male who wants to improve the attractiveness of your face, or if you are transitioning from male to female. Ideal candidates are generally in good health and non-smokers. Before deciding to undergo facial feminization, consult with your board-certified plastic surgeon in Chicago and make sure you understand the process of each individual procedure.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM A CONSULTATION
Facial feminization procedures are individualized to the needs and desires of each particular patient. A board-certified plastic surgeon will perform a facial evaluation and talk with you about the recommended procedures to achieve the appearance you want. Depending on the desired outcome, these procedures may include:
- Facelift
- Neck lift
- Brow lift
- Dermal fillers or fat grafting
- Scalp advancement
- Chin reshaping
- Jaw contouring
- Cheek augmentation
- Nasal tip refinement
- Upper lip enhancement
- Tracheal contouring
- Rhinoplasty
At the Plastic Surgery Clinic of Chicago, we take the time to explain all aspects of each procedure during a consultation, including associated risks and recovery.

HOW FACIAL FEMINIZATION IS PERFORMED
Facial feminization, also sometimes referred to as gender reaffirmation surgery, is a relatively new concept in the field of plastic surgery; the individual procedures that encompass it, however, are well-practiced by our staff at the Plastic Surgery Clinic of Chicago.
Based on our extensive experience, we will tailor a specific treatment plan to achieve the most optimal results for your personal situation. We pride ourselves on our ability to understand and implement the best course of care for each individual, and we never perform a procedure unless we know it is the absolute best course of treatment for you.
Since each treatment plan is unique, your plastic surgeon will thoroughly discuss the individual process that is best for you during your consultation, as well as the potential associated risks and recovery.
WHAT DOES FACIAL FEMINIZATION COST?
The cost of facial feminization varies greatly by individual, and insurance rarely covers this procedure. Your plastic surgeon in Chicago will discuss all aspects of the procedure, including associated costs, during your consultation.

This is a great case to highlight the complexities associated with creating an aesthetic tip and how small changes can yield significant aesthetic improvement. In this case, the patient had a droopy tip, hanging columella, and too much nostril show. In the post-operative views you can visualize a tip that is lifted, more projected, and the presence of a more aesthetic alar-columellar relationship. Happy for this patient and her beautiful and natural result. Posted with permission.

The hardest type of rhinoplasties for plastic surgeons to perform are cleft rhinoplasties. A major reason is that the anatomy of the nose and midface are asymmetric, therefore, you have an asymmetric nose sitting on top of an asymmetric midface. In this case, I used rib cartilage to rebuild the cartilage of the nose and fat transfer to improve asymmetries of the midface and lips. In the post-operative frontal views, you can see a straighter nose, the tip has been lifted, and the right nostril has been brought down and inwards. On profile view, you can see the dorsal hump was lowered, the tip of the nose has been lifted, rotated, and refined. The fat was placed in the cheeks and upper lip to improve the midface deficiency that is common in cleft lip patients. Posted with permission.

Plastic surgery can be dramatic or understated. This is a before and after with subtle changes to improve the proportions and aesthetics of the nose in a natural way. This patient wanted only small changes of the dorsum and tip. In the post-operative photos, you can visualize the dorsal hump has been removed and the tip has been refined, slightly rotated and projected. Posted with permission.

Couldn’t be happier for this beautiful patient and her natural before and after results. This patient is 3 months out from a deep plane or sub-SMAS facelift, neck lift, and facial fat transfer. Pay close attention to the neck, jawline, and midface or cheeks. In the post-operative views you can see a well-defined neck and jawline. The face appears less bottom heavy, there is restoration of the midface volume, and the overall facial configuration is more heart-shaped and youthful. Posted with permission.

It’s been a minute but this is a great before and after of a facial feminization case and this patient is only 6 weeks out from surgery. Pay close attention to the hairline, the forehead, orbital rims, eyebrows, nose, chin and jawline. Does this patient look like they had major surgery 6 weeks ago? Posted with permission.

Check out this interesting rhinoplasty case where I performed a combined primary rhinoplasty and sliding genioplasty. Fixing the crooked or deviated nose is very challenging for all rhinoplasty surgeons and the goal is to achieve a straighter nose because a perfectly straight nose does not exist. On the frontal view, you can see a nose that is midline and with beautiful dorsal aesthetic lines. On the profile view, you can visual a nice nasal profile with a slight break at the tip. The sliding genioplasty complements the nose and improves the overall proportions and balance of the face. A chin implant would not be able to achieve this amount of chin augmentation or chin length.

It’s never too early to starting thinking about that summer body. This patient underwent a mommy makeover or a breast reduction/lift and tummy tuck. Pay close attention to the belly button, this patient had an umbilical hernia, which made the reconstruction of her belly button even harder. Most plastic surgeons take their time trying to make the belly button look as natural as possible since the appearance of the belly button can be an obvious sign that the patient had a tummy tuck.
