What is facial masculinisation ?
Facial masculinisation is a medical technique developed to make men's faces more masculine.
It addresses personal concerns (overly soft features affecting confidence) or professional wishes (giving the face more charisma and energy).
An increasing number of men choose this technique.
What is a masculine face ?
Beauty ideals change over the years, but certain features are considered timelessly attractive and masculine :
- A square, projected jaw with a well-defined mandibular angle.
- A broad, forward-projecting chin.
- Low, horizontal eyebrows, an intense gaze and a fairly prominent brow ridge.
- High, rectangular cheekbones.
- A straight nose.
- A broad face characterised by a short middle facial third.
Which techniques masculinise a face ?
The treatment protocol is personalised according to anatomy, age, skin quality and the desired result.
Several approaches can be combined according to facial structure :
- Hyaluronic acid injections.
- Collagen stimulators, particularly Sculptra.
- Skin firming protocols : ablative laser and radiofrequency.
- Skin quality treatments : mesopeel and Hydrafacial.
Nonsurgical facial masculinisation : which areas should be treated ?
Nonsurgical facial masculinisation relies on precise assessment of facial volume, angles and proportions.
The aim is to enhance natural masculine characteristics in a measured way.
Depending on individual anatomy, three areas can be improved : the upper, middle and lower facial thirds.
Hyaluronic acid for facial
masculinisation
Facial masculinisation is achieved with hyaluronic acid injections.
The aesthetic approach should :
- Consider the relationships between facial elements and bring them closer to the ideal ratio, the golden ratio, through facial beautiphication.
- Treat age-related sagging using the 8 points face lift technique.
- Create light and shadow to emphasise angular features :using the 7/9 points shape technique.
- Make individual features more masculine. The key areas are the chin, which should be square and projected, and the jaw, which should be broad and square.
Results and after-effects
Results are immediate and last approximately one year. The face appears more structured, rested, charismatic and balanced, better reflecting the dynamic image the patient wants to convey.
No social downtime is needed, and normal activities can resume after injections. Bruising is rare.
Masculinising the features gives the face a more assertive character, often improving confidence.

WHAT THE STUDIES SAY
A review of fillers in men examines gel selection and placement according to male anatomy. It emphasises a personalised assessment of volumes and contours, tailored to individual expectations. These principles help preserve the patient’s features while correcting volume loss or a targeted imbalance.
A multicentre randomised trial involving 206 adults assessed the effects of hyaluronic acid injections in the jawline. At six months, 69% of treated patients showed an improvement of at least one grade on the assessment scale used on both sides of the face, compared with 38% in the control group. Treated patients were also more satisfied with the appearance of their lower face and jaw. These results concern the gel and injection protocol studied.
