What is the beauty of a man’s face? The idea of an ideal man has evolved. A man is a warrior, a conqueror, a defender, and a conqueror. In the masculine portrait of men, the main features are courage, endurance, restraint, power, and strength. An ideal portrait of a handsome man is a portrait of a strong personality. Such a face reflects primordial male behavioral patterns, an integrated self-concept, contentment, equanimity, a sense of self-worth, and self-acceptance.
This is the so-called “hormonal passport” of an attractive person. Even 50 years ago, congenital facial features were considered a constant, but in the modern world, they are successfully corrected with the help of dermal fillers. We can change the perception of the patient’s personality by adding more masculine elements to his image. Contour plastic surgery is the safest, minimally invasive means of transformation, it allows you to drastically change your appearance without surgical intervention.
When does a man need contouring?
More recently, the proposal to contact a beautician would have caused most men to ridicule, surprise, skepticism, denial – any emotion other than consent. Indeed, it has always been considered that visiting aesthetic medicine centers is the prerogative of exclusive women, and the representatives of the stronger sex have nothing to do there, especially when it comes to surgical intervention. With the advent of alternative methods of rejuvenation, for example, contouring for men, the stronger sex has become more indulgent about the prospect of visiting a beauty salon.
It is a well-known fact that men and women are radically different from each other not only in matters of psychology and attitude to life but also in terms of physiology and anatomy. The body of a man is controlled by the hormone testosterone, the level of which in the blood directly controls the aging process, including the skin. Age-related changes in men appear much later than in women, but they are more pronounced – deep lines on the forehead, pronounced nasolabial folds, and facial wrinkles, bags, and bruises under the eyes.
This type of aging is associated not only with the activity of sex hormones and the influence of various external factors (bad habits, neglect of moisturizing and nourishing the skin, careless exposure to direct sunlight and frost) but also with the anatomical features of the face. In men, the epidermis is much denser than the female, facial muscles are better developed, and the amount of subcutaneous fat is less. Men’s skin loses collagen, moisture, and hyaluronic acid more slowly, and has increased elasticity and good turgor, which contributes to a high level of tissue tropism and later natural aging. But, just due to the increased density and thickness of the dermal and epidermal layers, the visual signs of age-related changes cannot be hidden or corrected by traditional cosmetics. It is for this reason that contouring for men with fillers has become a discovery for many today because it is the most effective and safe way to eliminate aesthetic skin defects in a strong half of humanity and a painless alternative to radical surgery, which not everyone will decide on.
The most successful modern techniques of male face correction
One of the safest and most effective new techniques in contour plastic surgery is the STOP Facial Aging Method. It was developed by Dr. Sandrine Sebban, a specialist in aesthetic medicine in Paris. The technique involves correction with hyaluronic acid fillers and provides an instant anti-aging effect and a very natural result.
Its features:
- Division of the face into 12 vectors that correspond to fat areas;
- 3 marks that will help in the work: axis of safety (to avoid vascular risks), a triangle of masculinity (natural result), mid-zygotic line (the only point of entry is located on it);
- Interaction of DOP (correction in deep layers) and SOP (superficial improvement of the skin, hydration, and burst of radiance) techniques;
- Special SofFil EasyGuide needle and medium-sized microcannulas (25G-22G) – for painless puncture;
- Cannula injection at only one point on both sides of the face is a non-traumatic, immediate result that does not require rehabilitation.
This procedure is performed quickly and painlessly, the result lasts 15-18 months, and the risk of medical error and excessive correction is minimal.
Benefits of contouring for men and features of the procedure
The main reason why men are increasingly turning to a cosmetologist is the desire to get rid of wrinkles and skin imperfections, not for the sake of the visual effect of young and smooth skin, but in an attempt to emphasize their high social status, well-groomed, “sleek”, respectability, self-confidence, and success in various fields of activity. And contour plastic will be an excellent assistant in such desires, as it has a number of important advantages:
- the main advantage of contouring for men is, first of all, the invisibility of the intervention of a beautician, since it is very important for men that others do not focus on how much a man deliberately watches his appearance;
- the procedure does not require a long recovery period, and allows you to continue to lead an active lifestyle and do your usual activities, while it has practically no adverse reactions;
- the introduction of fillers is completely safe, thanks to the use of components native to the body, which rarely provoke allergies and other undesirable consequences, subject to the strict implementation of all the recommendations of the cosmetologist, and also have the property of natural biodegradation upon expiration;
- injections do not cause pain or discomfort, as local anesthesia is performed with special creams or the composition of the drug already contains lidocaine;
- individual selection of fillers allows you to get rid of aesthetic problems with the highest quality and for a long time and rejuvenate the skin after the first injection.
Having decided on a contour plastic procedure for men, it is very important to choose a cosmetologist who not only has the qualifications and practice of working with hyaluronic fillers but also is well-versed in the anatomical structure of a man’s face. This is a necessary condition that excludes the feminization of male outlines and provides natural rejuvenation, which will not be very conspicuous to others and look natural.
