Rhinoplasty facial feminization surgery is a core specialty at Evolve Your Life in Chicago, IL. The nose sits at the literal center of the face, making it one of the most influential features in overall facial harmony. In facial feminization surgery, feminizing rhinoplasty is not about making the nose smaller for its own sake — it’s about creating proportional balance with the newly softened forehead, brows, and jawline. At Evolve Your Life in Chicago, IL, patients travel from across the United States to undergo this procedure with Dr. Amir Dorafshar.
Goals of Feminizing Rhinoplasty
Dr. Dorafshar approaches nose reshaping as part of the broader middle third facial feminization plan. Key goals include narrowing the nasal bridge, refining and slightly elevating the tip, and adjusting the nasolabial angle to approximately 95–105 degrees for a softer, more feminine profile.
Rhinoplasty is frequently performed alongside lip lift surgery — which shortens the distance between the base of the nose and the upper lip — to create a compact, balanced mid-face. Our Chicago-based surgical team works closely with out-of-state patients to coordinate all procedures efficiently, minimizing the number of trips required. For minor post-surgical refinements, non-surgical injectables can be arranged with a provider near your home.
