Special Considerations for Fillers in Men
Ardalan Minokadeh, Harold J. Brody, Derek H. JonesBACKGROUND
Aesthetic treatment paradigms often target the female face. Applying these patterns to men without accounting for sex-specific facial features and concerns may lead to suboptimal outcomes.
METHODS
The peer-reviewed literature on dermal filler treatment in men was evaluated, with emphasis on filler selection and placement.
RESULTS
Unique features of male facial anatomy influence desired aesthetic outcomes.
CONCLUSION
Optimal dermal filler treatment in men requires an understanding of sex-specific facial anatomy, customized treatment plans, appropriate filler selection, and adequate volume. Additional research is needed to refine evidence-based recommendations.
