Facial Contouring with Fillers for Men

Male grooming has evolved to include a variety of techniques men use to look and feel their best, and facial fillers are an ideal tool to add to the mix. Our injectors understand that men typically have different goals for cosmetic treatments when compared to women—especially when it comes to face procedures. We will work with you to customize your male-focused facial rejuvenation treatment.

Your lower jaw area is made up of a combination of bone and soft tissue. If you’ve always had a naturally weaker jaw and chin with poor projection, this look is usually caused by genetic factors that result in a lack of bone growth. When you have a smaller chin, the lack of prominence can create an imbalance in the face and give you the appearance of a double chin, even if you’re slim. If you’ve always tended to have more of a baby face with chubbier cheeks, genetic conditions could also be to blame.

Older men and women naturally lose some of the bone and soft tissue around the chin area over time, which can give the jawline a more recessed look. Unfortunately, there’s not much you can do on your own to alter the features you were born with or to counter the effects of aging. Even working out won’t make much of a difference in the case. Fillers used for facial contouring, however, can help you achieve a sharper, more athletic appearance.

Facial contouring with injectable fillers is a minimally invasive treatment that allows men to build on the structure of their face without the need for facial implants and other, more invasive options. The facial contouring procedure involves using fillers to add volume to the cheeks, jawline, and chin.

Using fillers for facial contouring can help get you get the slimmer looking, more rugged, and mature facial appearance you want. Hyaluronic acid fillers like Restylane^® and Juvéderm^® are gel-like substances that are placed directly below the skin to lift and add volume to it. They are used for a variety of purposes, including minimizing wrinkles and improving overall facial contours by giving support and increasing the skin thickness in hollow, depressed, or thinning areas like the cheeks. They can also be used to create the impression of more distinct bone structures, highlighting the angles and contours that create a traditionally masculine profile.

With facial contouring, you have the option of dissolving the fillers if you don’t like the look and don’t have to commit to a more permanent option.

The actual facial contouring procedure is a “lunchtime” treatment that only takes a few minutes to be completed. It involves a few injections that cause only minor discomfort. The Restylane^® and Juvéderm^® collections are made up of several products that each have unique applications and different formulations. A combination of fillers can be used to rejuvenate your appearance. We can apply Juvéderm Voluma^®, a thick, long-lasting product that adds volume and lift to the cheeks, chin, and jaw, or Restylane^® Lyft, which works on similar areas.

Plenty of men choose to have facial contouring with fillers in order to feel more self-assured or to stay competitive at work. The overall effect from fillers is a more masculine, attractive, youthful, and energized appearance, with changes visible right away.

A major benefit of nonsurgical facial contouring is that there is no actual recovery time, and you can go back to work or your other activities as soon as your session is over. Expect only minor side effects like temporary bruising and swelling.

Results can last from months to years, depending on the areas treated, the specific fillers used, and how quickly your body metabolizes the gel.
