Facial Feminization by
Dr. Patel: Feel Beautiful Inside and Out
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.

In facial feminization surgery, a common question we get is how do we contour the forehead and orbital rim. There are two main techniques that craniofacial surgeons utilize. A type 1 technique is where we use a burr or shaving device to shave and contour the bone to set it back or make it less prominent. To be a good candidate for this technique, one would have to have thick bone, a smaller frontal sinus, and less frontal bossing. A type 3 technique is where we use a saw to cut off the outer part of the frontal sinus bone, shave down the forehead and then replace the bone with titanium plates and screws. Good candidates for this procedure are patients with thin bone of the frontal sinus, a large frontal sinus and significant frontal bossing. We determine which technique would best achieve a patient’s goals through a clinical exam and a CT scan. Posted with permission. Videos are educational.

How important is the chin in a rhinoplasty case? This patient’s results show how important the nose-chin relationship is for a balanced and proportional profile. This patient had a crooked nose, a prominent dorsal hump, and a very deficient chin. After straightening her nose, removing the dorsal hump, lifting and refining the tip, and performing a sliding genioplasty; look how much her profile has changed aesthetically for the better.

This is a great example of how buccal fat removal changes the face. Buccal fat removal involves removing fat from the lower cheeks and the purpose is to narrow the lower 1/3 of the face. With removal of the buccal fat pad, the face appears less round and more angular or V-shaped. Buccal fat removal was popularized and trending during the pandemic, however, not everyone is a good candidate for this procedure. Ideal candidates are younger patients in their 20-30’s with a rounder face, and excess volume of the lower cheeks. As we age, the face loses volume and therefore patients in their 40’s plus may not be good candidates. An article in our journal from 2021, The Role of Buccal Fat Pad in Facial Aesthetic Surgery, by Drs. Rohrich and Stuzin, highlighted that this procedure can be beneficial in certain patients but if over resected or performed in the wrong patient, can lead to premature aging and midface distortion.

This is a 2 year follow-up revision rhinoplasty case. The patient had had 2 prior rhinoplasties in the past and was bothered by the nasal deviation, the dorsal hump, and the under-rotated and under-projected tip. In the post-operative views, you can see the nose is straighter, symmetric dorsal aesthetic lines have been established, the dorsal hump was removed, and the tip was elevated and rotated. It’s amazing how a more symmetric and proportional nose improves the balance and overall aesthetics of the face. Posted with permission.
