Increasing numbers of men are opting for dermal fillers (sometimes called “manjectables”) and BOTOX® Cosmetic in Toronto. A good injector must be careful to maintain male patients’ masculine features. The bony and angular forms of the male face convey masculinity, as opposed to the curves, softness, and triangular shape of the female face. The plastic surgeon must enhance those angular characteristics.
Hollowing around the eyes creates a tired, sad look for both men and women. Therefore, treatment of certain areas including the tear troughs and the lid-cheek groove is similar for both sexes. However, because men’s upper orbital area should remain slightly bony, dermal fillers are not commonly used in this area.
Conservative treatment is a must when treating men’s lips. The vermilion border, or lip border, should not be too defined, and the volume of lips should remain at a minimum. We rejuvenate, rather than augment, our male patients’ lips.
Conservative treatment is also a must here. The male face is square — not triangular. The medial (inner) cheeks should be flatter than their female counterparts’ cheeks. Good examples of men with flat cheeks include a young James Dean or Sean Connery. The plastic surgeon must refrain from overfilling both the inner and outer cheek areas.
A strong chin denotes power and leadership (think Brian Mulroney). This defining feature is assertive and “alpha.” The chin should be harmonious with the nose in a man’s profile. Dermal fillers are a fantastic option for the chin and can convert a small, weak, retro-positioned chin into a forward, strong, assertive, masculine profile.
Hollowing in the temples is often associated with aging or with chronic medical conditions. We apply dermal fillers conservatively as an effective adjunct to men’s pan-facial rejuvenation.
A well-defined jaw angle is a very attractive masculine feature. We use dermal fillers such as RADIESSE®, Sculptra®, JUVÉDERM®, and Restylane® for Toronto men’s jaw enhancement, injecting the fillers into the posterior aspect of the jawline to create a square shape in the lower face and complement the chin.
The dorsum of the nose should be slightly higher in the male, especially where the nose meets the forehead (called the nasion). We use dermal fillers to augment the nasion slightly for a more masculine profile. We also inject dermal fillers above and below a dorsal hump to soften the appearance of dorsal hump deformities.
Men usually require a higher dose than women do for wrinkle-reducing treatments, as men’s muscles are thicker and stronger. Crow’s-feet are often stronger in males, for instance, and can require a second row of injections to catch the entire width of the periorbital muscle. We also take care to avoid raising men’s outer eyebrows excessively, as a high-arched eyebrow is not a masculine feature.
Men’s skin is generally thicker, oilier, and has more collagen than women’s, which affects how it ages and what it needs. Men should focus on products that control oil without over-drying, such as gel-based cleansers, lightweight moisturizers, and broad-spectrum SPF. Additionally, men who shave regularly may benefit from soothing, alcohol-free aftershave products that prevent irritation and ingrown hairs.
Botox can provide very natural-looking results for men when administered by an experienced professional like Dr. DuPéré. The key is using a conservative approach that softens lines and wrinkles without eliminating all facial expressions. This ensures you look refreshed rather than “frozen,” maintaining a natural and masculine appearance.
For men looking to enhance their jawline and chin, dermal fillers made from hyaluronic acid are an excellent option. These fillers add volume and structure, creating a more defined and chiseled appearance. Dr. DuPéré carefully assesses your facial structure to strategically place the fillers, ensuring a balanced and natural result.
Men’s thicker skin can impact how injectables are administered and how they settle. Thicker skin may require slightly more product or different injection techniques to achieve the desired effect. However, thicker skin also tends to hold results well, often leading to a smoother and longer-lasting outcome.
Yes, treating under-eye hollows (tear troughs) in men requires a tailored approach to avoid feminization of the facial features. Dr. DuPéré uses a conservative amount of filler to subtly lift the area without over-correcting, maintaining a natural and rested appearance that aligns with masculine aesthetics.
The frequency of treatments varies depending on the individual’s goals and how their body metabolizes the product. Generally, Botox treatments last about 3-4 months, while dermal fillers can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the type of filler used and the treatment area. Regular maintenance treatments help to preserve the results and prevent the re-emergence of lines and volume loss.
Absolutely. Combining injectables with treatments like chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or laser therapy can enhance overall skin texture and tone, complementing the effects of Botox and fillers. For men, this approach can be particularly effective in addressing both surface-level concerns and deeper signs of aging, resulting in a more comprehensive rejuvenation.
Injectables like Botox and fillers have minimal downtime, with most men returning to their normal activities immediately. However, some swelling or bruising can occur, which typically subsides within a few days. To minimize downtime, it’s recommended to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sun exposure, and alcohol for 24-48 hours post-treatment.
Dr. DuPéré specializes in tailoring injectable treatments for men by considering the unique aspects of male facial anatomy, such as thicker skin, stronger bone structure, and different muscle activity. His approach ensures that enhancements look natural and preserve or even accentuate masculine features.
As with any cosmetic procedure, there are risks associated with injectables, including bruising, swelling, and, in rare cases, infection or allergic reaction. However, these risks are minimized when treatments are performed by an experienced professional like Dr. DuPéré. During your consultation, all potential risks will be discussed, and post-treatment care instructions will be provided to ensure a safe and successful outcome.
