Understanding Non-Surgical Facial Masculinisation

What exactly is non-surgical facial masculinisation?

Non-surgical facial masculinisation is a cosmetic approach that uses injectable treatments, primarily dermal fillers, to enhance and define traditionally masculine facial features. It aims to sculpt a stronger, more angular, and defined facial structure without the need for invasive surgery.

How do these masculinisation treatments work to change my face?

These treatments work by strategically adding volume and structure to specific areas of the face using dermal fillers. This process helps to create sharper angles, increase definition, and balance facial proportions to achieve a more traditionally masculine look.

Which specific areas of the face can be enhanced for masculinisation?

Commonly treated areas for masculinisation include the jawline, chin, and cheekbones, to create a sharper, more angular appearance. Enhancements can also be made to the nose and brow area to contribute to a more pronounced masculine aesthetic.

What kind of results can I expect from these treatments?

You can expect to see an immediate enhancement in the shape and definition of the treated areas, resulting in a stronger and more angular appearance. The goal is a look that is noticeable yet natural, tailored to your unique aesthetic goals.

Do many men get dermal fillers?

Many men get filler injections to enhance and masculinise their appearance. It has become acceptable for men to get cosmetic treatments as they realise that they can achieve natural-looking results without making you look fake and overdone.

How do dermal fillers masculinise the jaw?

Dermal fillers add structure and width to your jawline. They sculpt a more angular shape and add definition, which all combine to give a masculine, chiselled appearance.

How do dermal fillers masculinise the chin?

Dermal filler add length, width, and projection to your chin. They are an effective way to sculpt a square-shaped chin that looks masculine.

How do dermal fillers masculinise the cheeks and cheekbones?

Dermal fillers add structure and shape to your cheekbones. We use this to sculpt more angular, chiselled cheekbones.

How many mls of filler will I need to masculinise the face?

Most men need 4-8ml of filler to masculinise their appearance. The more areas we treat, and the more pronounced a result you want, the more filler we need to use.

What fillers are used in the male face?

In men, we prefer to use thicker, bone-mimicking dermal filler to masculinise the face. This type of filler provides a sharper, stronger and crisper result in defining and contouring the various features of the face.

When treating delicate areas such as the under eye, a softer filler will be used. This ensures a smooth, natural-looking result.

How are cheekbone fillers performed in men?

We precisely place filler along men’s cheekbones to give a straight and angular shape. The fillers are placed with tiny needles or a blunt cannula, depending on the goal of the treatment.

The Treatment Experience

Are masculinisation treatments painful?

Most individuals experience minimal discomfort during masculinisation treatments. Practitioners often use numbing cream on the treatment areas, and the dermal fillers themselves typically contain a local anaesthetic to ensure a more comfortable experience. You might feel a slight pressure or brief stinging sensation during the injections.

How long does a masculinisation procedure typically take?

The actual injection process for masculinisation treatments is relatively quick, often taking between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated. This makes it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.

What should I expect during a consultation for facial masculinisation?

During a consultation, an experienced practitioner will assess your facial anatomy and discuss your specific aesthetic goals in detail. They will explain the suitable non-surgical treatment options, outline the procedure, and help you understand what results you can realistically expect from the masculinisation process.

How should I prepare for my masculinisation treatment?

Preparation usually involves avoiding alcohol for at least 24 hours prior to treatment and, if medically advised, temporarily discontinuing supplements like and fish oil. Coming to your appointment with a clean face and closely shaved is recommended.

Aftercare and Results Longevity

What can I expect immediately after my facial masculinisation treatment?

Immediately after your treatment, you’ll likely notice the enhanced shape and definition of your face. Some mild swelling or bruising at the injection sites is common, but these temporary effects typically subside within a few days.

How soon can I resume my daily activities after facial masculinisation?

One of the key benefits of non-surgical masculinisation is the minimal downtime. Most individuals can resume their normal daily activities almost immediately after the procedure. However, strenuous exercise should typically be avoided for 24 hours.

Do I need to sleep in a specific position after jawline or chin masculinisation?

It is generally recommended to sleep on your back with your head slightly elevated for the first night or two after jawline or chin masculinisation. This helps to minimise swelling and prevents any accidental pressure on the treated areas that could affect the filler’s settling.

How long do the results of masculinisation treatments last?

The results from non-surgical masculinisation treatments typically last between 12 to 24 months, depending on the type of filler used, the specific areas treated, and your individual metabolism. Maintenance treatments are recommended to sustain the desired aesthetic.

How frequently will I need to repeat treatments to maintain my masculine features?

To maintain your enhanced masculine features, it is generally recommended to schedule conservative maintenance treatments every 12-24 months. This schedule helps ensure the longevity of your results and continued facial balance.

Safety and Suitability

Are non-surgical facial masculinisation treatments safe?

Non-surgical facial masculinisation treatments are generally considered safe when performed by a qualified and experienced medical professional. The dermal fillers used have an established safety profile.

What are the risks and potential side effects of masculinisation treatments?

Potential side effects are usually mild and temporary, such as redness, swelling, tenderness, or bruising at the injection sites. Serious complications are uncommon, and choosing a reputable practitioner significantly minimises these risks.

Who is an ideal candidate for non-surgical facial masculinisation?

Ideal candidates are men over 18, in good health, who desire a more defined, angular, and structured facial appearance. This includes those who feel their appearance is holding them back or who have naturally less defined masculine features.

Who is not a good candidate for jawline or chin masculinisation?

Individuals with certain medical conditions, active infections in the treatment area, or a history of severe allergic reactions to filler components may not be good candidates. Those with unrealistic expectations or seeking results only achievable through surgery might also be advised against the procedure.
