Middle third of the face surgery is a cornerstone of the care we provide at Evolve Your Life in Chicago, IL. The middle third of the face — spanning the nose, cheeks, and upper lip — is where subtle proportional changes create dramatic feminine softness. At Evolve Your Life, our Chicago, IL surgical center serves patients from across the United States who are seeking expert facial feminization surgery with world-class precision and compassionate care.
Procedures Included in Middle Third FFS
Feminizing rhinoplasty narrows the nasal bridge, refines the tip, and adjusts the nasolabial angle to approximately 95–105 degrees for a softer profile. Cheek augmentation using fat transfer adds volume and convexity to create the fuller, rounder cheekbones associated with femininity.
One of the most transformative yet often overlooked middle-third procedures is the lip lift. By shortening the philtrum, the surgeon increases tooth show and rolls the lip outward — creating fullness without relying solely on fillers. This can also be supported with injectables for ongoing maintenance, which out-of-state patients can arrange locally after returning home.
