Midface rejuvenation using Juvederm fillers in male patients

Background: In the recent years, there has been a significant rise in the number of men seeking rejuvenating procedures. The development of minimally invasive, non-surgical, office-based procedures without minimal downtime has stimulated a fresh interest among men who may seek cosmetic treatment to increase competitiveness and appear youthful in the workplace. It is important to understanding the differences in facial features in men and women to achieve more natural results and to reduce the risk of feminizing the male's face. Aim: The purpose of this study was to present our experience of midface rejuvenation using hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers in men. Materials and Methods: The authors discuss the anatomical considerations, pathophysiology of aging, gender considerations, and their injection technique for midface rejuvenation in male patients. Results: Midface rejuvenation was successful in male patients using HA dermal fillers while maintaining the masculine features. The treatment was well tolerated and resulted in high level of satisfaction. Conclusion: Use of injectable HA dermal fillers is a safe, effective, and well-tolerated non-surgical treatment modality for midface rejuvenation in men. A thorough knowledge of the midface anatomy, injection techniques, and properties of individual fillers along with an understanding of the considerations in facial features of men can make injectable dermal fillers a rewarding treatment even in male patients.
