Facial masculinization surgery at Evolve Your Life in Chicago, IL helps patients achieve their goals with precision and care. While facial feminization surgery receives considerable attention, facial masculinization surgery (FMS) is an equally specialized and profoundly impactful set of procedures for transgender men and nonbinary individuals. At Evolve Your Life in Chicago, IL, Dr. Amir Dorafshar is one of the few surgeons in the United States with published, peer-reviewed expertise in gender affirming surgery— and patients travel from across the country to benefit from his care.
What Facial Masculinization Surgery Can Achieve
FMS follows an augmentative approach — adding structure and definition rather than reducing — to align facial anatomy with a masculine identity. Procedures typically address the same three zones: the upper third (forehead augmentation, brow prominence), the middle third (cheek reshaping, nose refinement), and the lower third (jaw augmentation, chin widening).
For many transgender men, testosterone therapy produces significant facial changes — but for those who desire more dramatic structural masculinization, or for whom hormone therapy is not suitable, surgery at our Chicago, IL practice offers permanent, natural-looking results. Implants, cartilage grafts, and fat repositioning are all tools in the FMS toolkit.
