Facial Masculinization Surgery (FMS) in Seattle, WA
What Is Facial Masculinization Surgery?
Facial Masculinization Surgery (FMS) is a series of surgical procedures that enhance and define facial structure to create a more traditionally masculine appearance.

Common Procedures Included in Facial Masculinization Surgery
Facial masculinization may include one or several procedures, customized for your unique facial structure and goals. These may include:
-
Forehead & Brow Augmentation
Enhances the brow ridge and forehead contour for a more prominent, masculine profile.
-
Cheek Reduction or Contouring
Refines the midface to create a more angular, defined look.
-
Rhinoplasty (Nasal Reshaping)
Adjusts nasal width, bridge, and tip to align with masculine proportions.
-
Chin Augmentation or Implant
Strengthens the chin’s projection and shape for a bold, square appearance.
-
Jawline Contouring
Defines and sharpens the jaw angle to create a stronger lower facial structure.
-
Tracheal Enhancement or Preservation
Ensures balanced throat contour while maintaining natural proportions.
-
Facial Fat Grafting or Removal
Adjusts facial volume to create balanced, masculine dimension.
Each procedure is performed with precision to achieve a cohesive, natural-looking transformation — never overdone or artificial. Facial Masculinization Surgery is performed under general anesthesia. Depending on your customized surgical plan, several procedures can be completed during one operation.
Dr. Tony Mangubat uses advanced, minimally invasive techniques to sculpt and contour the face with accuracy, preserving natural function and symmetry.
Surgery typically takes several hours, and most patients spend one night in a recovery facility before returning home to rest.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery varies depending on the number of procedures performed. Most patients experience mild swelling or bruising for the first one to two weeks.
You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to ensure smooth healing, including guidance on sleeping position, incision care, and activity limitations.
Most patients return to light activities within 10–14 days, with final results becoming more defined as swelling resolves over several months.
Follow-up appointments with Dr. Tony Mangubat allow careful monitoring and continued support throughout your healing journey.
Results
As recovery progresses, facial definition improves and contours sharpen — revealing a more masculine, structured appearance.
Results are long-lasting and natural, enhancing confidence and aligning appearance with gender identity.
Dr. Tony Mangubat’s artistry ensures your results maintain harmony with your natural anatomy while achieving strong, balanced masculine features.
