Male Aesthetics
Men’s faces age differently from women’s, and the treatments that work for women don’t always look right on men. Whether you want to look more alert at work, feel confident in the dating scene, or just match how young you feel inside, male aesthetic procedures can help you look your best while maintaining your masculine features. Our team understands exactly how to refresh a man’s appearance without making you look feminine or overdone.
What is Male Aesthetics?
Male reconstructive and cosmetic procedures differ from those for women because the goals are different. Examples include differences in:
- Brow size and position
- Nose bridge thickness
- Upper and lower eyelid fullness and crease positions
- Cheek projection
- Jawline prominence
- Lip volume
- Chin projection
Over 30% of men express interest in dermal fillers or botulinum toxin injections, and more than 40% of our cosmetic procedures are performed on men. The reasons for this interest vary across individuals and age groups, from professional image concerns to personal confidence and comfort.
What Can Male Aesthetic Procedures Accomplish?
Male aesthetic treatments can address a range of concerns while maintaining masculine features:
- Remove under-eye bags and lighten heavy upper eyelids
- Strengthen jawlines and improve facial definition
- Reduce deep frown lines that convey anger or aggression
- Eliminate double chins and refine the facial profile
Male Aesthetic Techniques
For the 20–40 Year Old Man
- Address inherited traits like under-eye bulges or hooded eyelids
- Reduce youthful round facial fat that may appear immature
- Use dermal fillers to strengthen jawlines, improve projection, and define bone structure
For the 40–65 Year Old Man
- Largest group seeking procedures due to feeling younger than their actual age
- Professional and social factors often influence treatment decisions
- Goals often combine those of younger and older patients
For the 65+ Year Old Man

BEFORE AND AFTER MALE BLEPHAROPLASTY
Maintaining Youthful Male Aesthetics
Skincare for Men
- Simple routines, such as daily powdered sunblock after shaving, help maintain skin health
- Powdered sunblock avoids grease, dripping, and discoloration, and is ideal for outdoor activities
- Advanced options address rosacea, visible blood vessels, enlarged pores, and sagging skin
Volume Enhancement
- HA fillers safely and conservatively restore volume and structure
- Used for under-eye hollows, brow lift, cheek bone definition, nose straightening, jawline/chin enhancement
- Immediate erasure possible if results are undesired
Wrinkle Reduction
- Botox, Dysport, Daxxify, and Xeomin reduce unwanted wrinkles and deep creases
- Male treatment plans preserve desirable features (e.g., small smile lines) while reducing harsh crevices
Fat Ablation
- Kybella selectively destroys unwanted fat cells
- Common male treatment areas: saggy jawlines, under the chin, top of the neck
Male Eyelid Surgery
The eyes are the focal point in facial perception. Aged, tired eyes convey an aged, tired man. Surgical planning considers:
- Overall face shape and bone structure
- Eyebrow position and shape
- Upper and lower eyelid heaviness or sag
- Maintaining slightly heavier upper eyelids, lower brows, and facial angularity for a masculine look
- Keeping the eyes in balance with the rest of the face

How Much Do Male Aesthetic Procedures Cost?
- Varies by procedure type and extent
- Non-surgical: typically lower cost, performed gradually
- Surgical: larger investment, longer-lasting results

Recovery & Results
- Non-surgical: Minimal downtime, return to work same day
- Surgical: 1–2 weeks off work, with swelling and bruising subsiding over time
- Goal: Maintain natural masculine features while improving appearance and function
- Results: Look like a refreshed, more rested and energetic version of yourself
Candidates for Male Aesthetic Procedures
You may benefit if you have:

Frequently Asked Questions About Male Aesthetics
What is the difference between male and female eyelid surgery?
How long does recovery take for male upper eyelid surgery?
Most men can return to work within 7-10 days after upper eyelid surgery, though you should avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise for about two weeks. Initial swelling and bruising typically resolve within the first week. The key is planning your surgery when you can take a little time off for the initial healing period.
Will the surgery leave noticeable scars?
Eyelid surgery scars are typically very well hidden in your natural eyelid creases and fade significantly over time. Most men find that any scars become virtually invisible within a few months. The key is having an experienced surgeon who knows how to place incisions for the best healing and minimal visibility.
Can eyelid surgery improve my vision?
Are there non-surgical options for male eye rejuvenation?
