Инъекционная коррекция линии подбородка у мужчин

Recently, men are increasingly becoming clients of aesthetic clinics. According to Dr. David Jack, fillers for the lips, jawline and chin, as well as the middle third of the face, are on the list of the most requested procedures for men.

In this article, the doctor examines the main anatomical features, parameters of attractiveness, as well as the possibilities of injection correction of the jaw line in men using dermal fillers and botulinum toxin.

Chin line for men: ideal parameters

Injection correction of the lower part of the face oval in men is aimed at replenishing the volumes lost with age and augmenting areas in which the lack of volumes is congenital. In this case, the practitioner can be guided, for example, by the parameters of the ideal projection of the male chin, when it reaches the conditional line in the sagittal plane connecting the lowest point of the chin and the most protruding part of the lip in front.

According to a 2016 photogrammetric study, the following characteristics define the ideal jawline for men:

•    angle of the lower jaw – 130 degrees;

•    practically equal distances between the end points of the lower jaw and cheekbones;

•    The jaw line is practically parallel (or deviates downwards by a maximum of 15 degrees) to the line connecting the outer corner of the eye and the ala of the nose;

•    the branch of the lower jaw is at an angle of 65–75 degrees in relation to the Frankfurt horizontal line;

•    visible, but not too protruding bulge in the area from the earlobe to the chin.

Dermal fillers for the correction of the jaw line in men

It is sometimes difficult to determine which techniques and preparations will provide optimal results when working with the jawline in men. The author believes that in this case the combined approach is always the most advantageous.

Male Face Correction: Which Procedures are Suitable for Men

For the correction of the lower part of the face oval in men, the author chooses a filler with a relatively high elasticity and viscosity, since it will be affected by several deforming forces, especially in the area of ​​the masticatory muscles. To work in the deep layers of the face, the author uses the Juvéderm Voluma filler, Restylane Lyft and Teosyal RHA 4 products are also well suited for these purposes.

Techniques for administering the product depend on the practitioner's personal preference, however, both needle and cannula work is often required to correct this area, especially near the facial artery, where many practitioners prefer to use a cannula. Gradual augmentation or correction over several sessions is also recommended to avoid overcorrection.

Using a needle, the author injects deep boluses of the filler into the periosteum at the angle of the mandible. As a rule, if 2 syringes of 1 ml of the drug are used for correction, approximately 0.3-0.5 ml of the gel is injected on each side at two or three points. The author then injects a bolus of approximately 0.1-0.2 ml bilaterally, just below the mandibular constrictor ligament, to correct minor defects in this area.

Then, if the chin needs to be squared up, the author will inject a deep bolus of 0.1-0.2 ml of filler into the chin protrusion on each side.  

In some cases, subcutaneous injection of the product using a cannula along the body of the mandible may be necessary. It is important to remember that this is a high-risk area, since the marginal branch of the facial nerve and facial vessels pass through it.

Botulinum toxin for men's jawline correction

Neurotoxins can also be used to work on the jawline, particularly in the presence of jowls. In this case, the author asks the patient to fully contract the subcutaneous muscle of the neck, and at this moment marks the bundles, the strongest of which are located behind the retaining ligament of the mandible.

The author then injects the neurotoxin along these bundles. It is important to make sure that the most superficial insertion point is located at least 1 cm below the bottom line of the face oval – this avoids unwanted distribution of the drug and relaxation of the muscles that lower the corner of the mouth. For this area, 20-25 units of botulinum toxin are sufficient (in this case, we are talking about off-label use of the drug). Also, if necessary, botulinum toxin can be injected into the mental muscle.

When working with the jaw line in older patients, the reduction in skin elasticity and the weakening of SMAS must also be taken into account. If these changes are present, HIFU and RF therapy can be used in addition to injectable techniques.

Aesthetic procedures aimed at correcting the lower part of the face oval are very popular among men. Excellent knowledge of anatomy, as well as an integrated approach to facial rejuvenation – key factors to ensure good results with minimal risk of side effects.
