Male Aesthetics
With many more men seeking cosmetic procedures, it becomes a requirement for more cosmetic doctors to make themselves much familiar with male facial features. Approaches to aesthetics between males and females differ in a sense that men have more square-shaped faces, larger and more angled jaws, and equally balanced upper and lower facial proportions. These differences need to be instilled to doctors in practice to avoid improper techniques that might feminize the features of a man.
Features-wise, it is no secret that sunblocks, creams, and roll-ons can only go so far in preventing the signs of aging. When time finally catches on, aging can become evident in the form of sagging facial skin, hooded eyelids, under-eye bags, and drooping jawline. When this time comes, men can opt to undergo invasive and non-invasive cosmetic treatments.
Treatments That Men Can Undergo
Aesthetic Surgical Treatments
Rhinoplasty
More commonly referred to as a “nose job,” this cosmetic procedure involves reshaping or restructuring the nose to enhance facial harmony. Men often get a nose job in order to specifically address a bridge that is too low or high, a nose that is too wide or narrow, a bulbous nose tip, or a crooked nose. Benefits of rhinoplasty in their lives can translate into better self-confidence and self-esteem, more balanced facial features, to improved nasal airflow.
Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is known for treating droopy eyelids and can be done in the upper or lower eyelids alone as well as in both. It is suitable for those who want a straightforward solution for excess fats, bags, wrinkles, and sagging around their eyes. With the help of local anesthetics, it addresses tired-looking eyes, removes sagging skin, and repositions fatty tissues in order to give a more rejuvenated, youthful look to the patient.
Facelift
This invasive procedure is performed to tighten sagging facial tissues to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and jowls. Usually, facelift is gotten by men who wish to look more “rugged” or masculine. When doing the procedure in men, the surgeon needs to take into account the male facial structure wherein there are denser muscles and a more balanced upper and lower facial proportions. Facelifts are known to rejuvenate the looks of patients and even make them look years younger as they target visible sagging in the areas of the cheek, laugh lines, and the neck.
Non-invasive Treatments
Thread Lifting
Thread lifting is a minimally abrasive procedure that tightens the skin to make up for the sagging, fine lines, and wrinkles that occur as collagen and elastic levels drop because of aging. This non-invasive treatment stimulates the production of collagen in order to target loose skin, drooping eyes, under-eye bags, deep laugh lines, and jowls.
Botox
Botox, also known as Botulinum toxin injections, are non-surgical procedures also dedicated to targeting the removal of wrinkles, crow’s feet, and frown lines. The procedure relaxes facial muscles and smoothes out fine lines for a more youthful appearance. The most common places that men get botox are in the corners of their eyes, in between their brows, in their forehead, and around their mouth.
Fillers
This is a volumizing treatment to address the aging male face. It creates a fuller facial definition and restores volume in areas such as the cheeks, lips, and jawline. Those who are planning to get fillers can expect minimal discomfort, immediate visibility of effects, fast recovery period, and natural-looking results.
