Review
Overview
abstract
BACKGROUND: Soft tissue augmentation is increasingly being performed to treat male facial aging. OBJECTIVE: To review anatomical consideration specific for the male face and define an approach to male soft tissue augmentation that creates harmonious and natural results. CONCLUSION: Addressing aesthetic concerns in the upper face, midface, and lower face should be performed in concert with a combinatorial and pan facial approach. Correct filler placement at different areas of concern is important to achieve desired and natural results. Dermal and subcutaneous fillers can be used successfully in the male patient to enhance facial features, correct volume loss, and improve features of aging.
