Is creating an Ogee curve with filler (like Voluma) an aesthetic goal in for men as well?

Question

William Groff, DO · Answer

The Ogee Curve is associated with youth and vitality, because it means your cheeks are high and full. However, even in youth, the exact degree of curve that is ideal for your face will vary. Men generally look best with harder rather than softer lines and curves, but each patient is different. When you consult a board-certified dermatologist who has a highly developed sense of aesthetics for both male and female faces, you can discuss what your ideal rejuvenation would be and decide together what would be most flattering to your facial shape.

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  Duplicating injections in a male as one would for a female would lead to a feminizing of appearance and this is where understanding the underlying anatomy is critical for an injector.  Men do not demonstrate the same apple of the cheek appearance as women and should have their filler placed further under the eyes than females.  Hope this helps.

Great question and one I see in my office regularly. Filling the cheeks as we do for women, can sometimes feminize a male face, so this is a conversation i have with my male patients looks for filer. I place the filler in a slightly anterior location for  my male patients to avoid this and results are refreshing.
