Gender-Affirming Procedures
Facial Masculinization Surgery (FMS) in Bellevue, WA
Facial masculinization surgery in Bellevue strengthens facial features with craniofacial-level precision.
Quick answer
Facial masculinization surgery (FMS) enhances and strengthens the facial features for a more masculine appearance — building the brow, jaw, and chin, and refining other features. Dr. Day’s craniofacial expertise and use of facial implants make him well suited to this work.
FMS adds definition and angularity: augmenting the brow ridge, building a stronger jawline and chin (with implants or bony procedures), and refining features for a masculine balance. Dr. Day’s craniofacial training and experience with facial implants allow precise, natural-looking enhancement.
Each plan is individualized to your features and goals, with WPATH guidance provided as needed.
