The criteria for male and female beauty are strikingly different. If you delve deeper into this issue – then, in fact, we are not talking about height, weight, and body structure. Speaking of femininity or masculinity, we mean, first of all, a person's face.
There are characteristic features, the severity of which affects our perception of appearance. It is very important for a specialist in aesthetic medicine to understand which changes will give masculinity and which will make the face more feminine.
On estet-portal.com read about the characteristic "male" features, as well as how contouring can make a face more masculine.
Masculinity and femininity: the main differences in perception
A person's appearance is largely determined by their hormones. Therefore, we tend to perceive certain facial features as courageous, while others – like feminine. Of course, very often, it is the combination of both that create the most harmonious combination, and as a result, an attractive appearance.

Statistically, people prefer more average visual images. This means that excessive expression of masculine traits in men can also repel members of the opposite sex, as well as insufficient manifestation of them.
An interesting fact: according to research, women find stubble more attractive than a beard, as it allows them to more objectively assess the features of a man's face.
It is also known that women's appearance preferences can change depending on the phase of the menstrual cycle, which in turn makes research in this area difficult.
Masculinity: main characteristic morphometric features
Masculinity – this is, of course, a complex concept, however, for an esthetician, it is precisely individual facial features that form the overall picture of the “male image” that are of particular importance.
Morphomerically «masculine» the following facial features are considered:
• wider and more asymmetrical face;
• wide interorbital distance;
• less pronounced cheekbones;
• wide nose;
• thin lips;
• massive angular lower jaw;
• pronounced brow ridges;
• wide eyebrows, located closer to the eyes;
• relatively small eyes.
However, these features of the facial structure determine only 25% of our perception, the remaining 75% are associated with other factors, including hair structure and color, skin condition, etc.

Aesthetic medicine: features of working with men
In the field of aesthetic medicine, when working with men, it is very important not to give their face a femininity. In this regard, many specialists almost never perform lip contouring or cheekbone correction on men.
Do not forget that a face is always perceived as a complex, so all its features should be in harmony with each other.
In order to make a person's features more masculine, the doctor needs to work with the whole face. It is not enough, for example, to only insert a filler into the lower jaw or chin area, it is also important to assess the presence of other feminizing features, and, if possible, work on them.

Contouring for a masculine look
So, how exactly can you create a masculine image with the help of injection correction. One of the most popular – this is an increase in the severity of the chin and lower jaw. You can also resort to contouring the angles of the lower jaw to make them sharper. Nose correction also plays an important role in creating a masculine image, since it is the wide back of the nose that is one of the criteria for masculinity.
Lip and periorbital corrections are usually feminizing. This is due to the fact that men's lips are often thinner than women's, and the eyebrows are closer to the eyes, which gives the face a more severe masculine look.
Thus, a specialist in aesthetic medicine, with the help of several procedures, can give a face masculinity, make its features more pronounced and attractive.
