When injecting Radiesse into the face of a male patient who wishes to achieve a more masculine, chiseled look (like the actor in the photos), what sort of technique should the injector use, and where should the majority of the Radiesse be injected? Also, how should the injector go about molding it on the cheekbones and chin? Is there a step-by-step process that can be followed for this procedure? Thank you...

Answer: How should Radiesse be injected to create more chiseled, masculine features in a male patient's face? Deciding where to place filler requires a detailed evaluation of a person's underlying facial structure and any existing asymmetries. For creating a more chiseled look, filler can be placed along the jawline, chin and conservative amounts placed in the cheek bone area. Heavy handed placement of filler in the cheeks can be feminizing so you will need to seek an injector with a solid understanding of male facial aesthetics. I prefer to use a cannula for all of these injections with the exception of the chin where the filler would be placed under the soft tissue on the jaw bone. Cannulas create less discomfort and have a much lower risk of significant bruising and swelling. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon
