Jaw feminization V-line surgery is one of the most transformative procedures performed at our Chicago, IL practice. The jawline is the structural frame of the lower face, and its shape has a profound impact on how gender is perceived. At Evolve Your Life in Chicago, IL, patients from coast to coast travel to have their lower face transformed through lower third facial feminization surgery with Dr. Amir Dorafshar — one of the nation’s most experienced gender-affirming craniofacial surgeons.
How V-Line Surgery and Mandibular Contouring Work
Dr. Dorafshar performs all lower third jaw work through incisions placed inside the mouth, eliminating visible external scars. Mandibular angle reduction rounds the corners of the jaw near the ears. V-line contouring removes bone along the lower jaw border to narrow and taper the face, performed in combination with a sliding genioplasty to precisely position the chin for a tapered, feminine result.
The chin plays an equally important role in the lower face’s overall shape. In facial feminization surgery, genioplasty repositions and reshapes the patient’s own chin bone rather than relying on implants, creating the tapered lower face associated with femininity. These procedures are often completed alongside neck feminization for comprehensive lower face transformation.
