Facial Masculinization

Facial masculinization for trans men
Madrid | Zurich
At our internationally recognised gender reassignment clinic, we are proud to offer pioneering solutions in facial masculinisation (FMS). Although the anatomical differences between male and female faces are clear, the range of masculinisation procedures available worldwide is still limited compared to facial feminisation. That’s why we work with exclusive, advanced techniques to deliver the highest quality results.
For many trans men, facial masculinisation is an essential step that has a positive impact on their social life, self-confidence and quality of life. With a holistic approach, we achieve significant and harmonious changes – with or without surgery – always customised to the needs of each individual patient.

What are scars like and where are they located?
All incisions associated with facial masculinisation are made in less visible or internal areas (mouth, nasal cavity, hairline). We also apply special measures to optimise the healing process and ensure high-quality aesthetic results.

Postoperative care
Thanks to the excellent blood circulation in the facial area, recovery is generally faster than in other parts of the body. Post-operative swelling decreases significantly in the first week and the face is usually very receptive to fat transfer.
The resulting changes last for a long time and combine to create a distinctly masculine appearance. Each treatment plan is customised, taking into account the patient’s facial structure and personal expectations.
