Growing popularity of facial aesthetic procedures among men dictates the need to apply a gender approach to anti-age therapy and make appropriate adjustments to the usual techniques. According to the results of the survey, the most problematic area for male patients is the periorbital area.
At the same time, 80% of respondents would like to get rid of wrinkles in the corners of the eyes and nasolacrimal grooves. Therefore, botulinum toxin therapy tops the list of the most popular "male" aesthetic procedures. Anatomical differences and patient goals must be taken into account in order to obtain optimal results for eye contour correction.
In this article estet-portal.com Dr. Jennifer Doyle shares her recommendations for rejuvenating the area around the eyes in men.
What anatomical features should be taken into account when correcting the area around the eyes in men
Gender differences in facial anatomy begin at the skeletal level. Characteristic features of the female skull are a flat superciliary arch and a smoothed bulge of the forehead, while in men the superciliary arch is quite well expressed. In the periorbital zone, the nasolabial and glabellar sutures are more pronounced in men, and the eyebrows are flatter, while in women they are more curved.
"Strong chin": features of chin correction in men
Aesthetically attractive in men are well-defined contours, such as well-defined eyebrows and cheekbones. A deeper set of eyes in men is due to the greater severity of the superciliary arch.
Relatively straight, in contrast to the curved female, male eyebrows are located at the level of the supraorbital margin.
In women, the outer corner of the eye has a slightly upward curve, while in men it is more even.
The aging process affects all layers of the face. The size of the eye socket increases; while the female face is characterized by a more pronounced recession of the lower edge of the orbit, while in men it is more uniform.
The large massiveness of the muscles of the male face explains the fact that as a result of age-related loss of subcutaneous fat and connective tissue, wrinkles appear earlier and are more pronounced in men than in women. This applies in particular to the periorbital, glabella and forehead.
Botulinum therapy for rejuvenation of the area around the eyes in men
The author recommends starting periorbital correction in men with a standard dosage of botulinum toxin, despite the fact that males require more toxin to correct facial wrinkles than women due to greater muscle mass.

To avoid feminization of the male face, for example when correcting the area between the eyebrows and forehead in men, it is important to avoid the formation of a brow arch or lift. The eyebrow should remain masculinely flat and low. To do this, it is necessary to work with the lateral part of the frontalis muscle.

Rejuvenation of the periorbital zone in men with dermal fillers
When using dermal fillers to correct the area around the eyes of men, it is also important to preserve the typical features of a male face.
Nasolacrimal sulcus – the most frequently corrected aesthetic defect in men with dermal fillers.
Male facial rejuvenation with botulinum toxin type A
It is important to remember that in men there is a recession of the inferomedial part of the orbital ridge, while in women the recession of its inferolateral part is more pronounced. Such changes may affect the morphology of the nasolacrimal sulcus, which must be taken into account when introducing a filler into this area.
In order to avoid facial feminization when correcting the periorbital region in men with fillers, it is important to maintain the prominence of the superciliary ridges.

Thus, for successful injection rejuvenation of the periorbital, as well as any other zone in men, it is important to take into account the anatomical features and, accordingly, adjust the technique of drug administration.
