Facial Feminization Surgery Patient – Chicago, IL
The patient, a trans-feminine individual, presented with significant dissatisfaction regarding the masculine characteristics of her facial features. Driven by a desire for facial feminization, she undertook extensive and meticulous research to identify a surgeon whose expertise aligned with her specific needs and aspirations. Her thorough investigation ultimately led her to Dr. Dorafshar.
Through her exhaustive research, the patient discovered that Dr. Dorafshar held a distinguished reputation as a world leader in the field of facial feminization surgery. Furthermore, she found compelling evidence of his esteemed standing within the transgender community, consistently providing compassionate and highly skilled care. This combination of unparalleled surgical proficiency and a deep commitment to patient well-being solidified her decision to choose Dr. Dorafshar as her surgeon.
The comprehensive surgical intervention performed on the patient involved a multi-faceted approach, all initiated through a strategic hairline incision. This approach allowed for several key procedures designed to achieve optimal facial feminization. These included a frontal sinus setback, meticulously contouring the superior orbital rims, and precisely reshaping the majority of her forehead to reduce prominent masculine angles. Additionally, brow ptosis repair was performed to lift and refine the position of her eyebrows, contributing to a softer, more feminine appearance. A scalp advancement procedure was also undertaken to adjust the hairline and further enhance the overall facial balance.
Beyond the upper face, the surgery also encompassed facial fat grafting, a technique used to add volume and refine contours in areas that typically lack fullness in feminine faces. A multi-piece genioplasty was performed to reshape her chin, ensuring it harmonized with her newly feminized features. Finally, mandibular contouring was carried out to soften and refine the angles of her jawline.
Following these extensive procedures, the patient expressed profound satisfaction with the outcome. She is delighted with her newly feminized facial features, which now align with her gender identity and personal aesthetic goals.
