Rejuvenation of the eye area in men: features of correction with fillers and botulinum toxin

The growing popularity of facial aesthetic procedures among men dictates the need for a gender-specific approach to anti-aging therapy and appropriate adaptation of established techniques. According to the study, the most problematic area for men is the orbital area. At the same time, 80% of respondents would like to eliminate wrinkles at the corners of the eyes and nasolacrimal folds. Botulinum toxin tops the list of most popular "male" aesthetic procedures. To achieve optimal results in periorbital correction, anatomical differences and patient goals should be considered. What anatomical features should be considered when correcting the periorbital area in men?

Gender differences in facial anatomy begin at the skeletal level. Characteristic features of the female skull include a flat brow ridge and a smooth forehead convexity, while in men, the brow ridge is quite pronounced. In the periorbital area, men have more pronounced nasolabial sutures, and the eyebrows are flatter, while in women, they are more curved. Features of Chin Correction in Men Well-defined contours, such as well-defined eyebrows and cheekbones, are aesthetically appealing in men. In women, the outer corner of the eye tends to be slightly upward, while in men, it is more even. The aging process affects all layers of the face.

The increased muscular density of the male face is explained by the fact that, due to age-related loss of subcutaneous fat and connective tissue, wrinkles appear earlier and are more pronounced in men than in women. This is particularly true for the periosteum, glabellar zone, and forehead. Botulinum Therapy for Eye Rejuvenation in Men It is recommended to begin periorbital correction in men with a standard dose of botulinum toxin, even though men require a larger dose of botulinum toxin to correct facial wrinkles than women due to their greater muscle mass. To avoid feminization of the male face, for example, when correcting the eyebrow and forehead areas in men, it is important to avoid creating a fold or raised eyebrow. The eyebrows should remain flat and low in the masculine appearance. This requires targeting the lateral portion of the frontalis muscle. It is recommended to begin periorbital correction in men with a standard dose of botulinum toxin. Periorbital Rejuvenation in Men with Dermal Fillers When correcting the area around the eyes in men with dermal fillers, it is also important to maintain typical masculine facial features. The nasolacrimal fold is the most frequently corrected aesthetic defect in men with dermal fillers. It is important to note that men experience recession of the inferior medial portion of the orbital ridge, while in women, recession of the inferior portion is more pronounced. Such changes can affect the morphology of the nasolacrimal fold, which should be considered when injecting fillers in this area. To avoid feminization of the face during periorbital correction in men with fillers, it is important to maintain the heaviness of the brow ridges. Thus, for successful rejuvenation of the periorbital zone, as well as any other zone in men, it is important to take into account the anatomical features and accordingly adjust the technique of administering the preparation.
