I Want a More Masculine Face? (photo)

Question

What kind of procedures should I get to emulate this look? I was thinking: buccal fat removal, cheek and jaw implants, and lip reduction. If more photos of my face are required for a better idea on what can be done, please ask.

I think in your case jaw angle implants, cheek implants, and buccal fat removal would give you a more chiseled face. also a rhinoplasty to give you more tip projection would also help.

Male patients who would like to achieve a more masculine face may require multiple plastic surgery procedures to achieve that goal.A masculine face is usually composed of prominent hight cheek bones, strong jaw line and jaw angle, strong chin and no chubby cheeks (aka chiseled V shape face). If any of the areas mentioned before are weak in the male patient, specific plastic surgery procedures to masculinize the area is necessary. For example, these are the most common procedures to masculinize the male face per area:Weak cheek bones: either cheek fillers or chin implantsChubby cheeks: buccal fat removal Weak Chin: chin enhancement with fillers or chin implant. Weak jaw/angle of the jaw: either enhancement with fillers or mandible angle implatnsDouble chin: chin liposuction.

Buccal fat pad reduction is a procedure that is not commonly performed but can make sense in the right patient.  It is important to understand the anatomy before undergoing the surgery so that you are well informed.  Normal aging reduces the buccal fat pad volume.  It is true that some people have more volume in their cheeks than others.  However, it is also universally true that that volume will decrease and descend over time.  Removing too much buccal fat can cause premature aging.  It is also important to remember that replacing fat that has been removed is extraordinarily difficult if not impossible.  The main reason is the location of the buccal fat pad.  It usually resides underneath a large muscle that is responsible for majority of the power motions of your chewing.  Once that fat is removed that space collapses.  Once collapsed it is very difficult to find the exact space and to reinsert a substance such as a filler or better yet fat.  One potential solution is to use something like Sculptra.  While I generally do not advocate buccal fat pad removal, I understand why somewhat would want procedures such as this.  I tried to choose my patients very carefully and I also tried to be conservative in the amount of fat that is removed.  Surgeons who trivialized this procedure simply don’t understand how difficult it is to correct deformities that may occur.  The cost of the procedure can run anywhere from $3000-$7000, depending upon your geographic locale.  Please visit with an experienced board certified plastic surgeon.  My best advice is to always be conservative with any buccal fat pad reduction.

It looks like you want a chiseled look with higher wider cheekbones and a reduction of lower cheek fat. You could have this done at the same time. Insertion of Cheekbone implants and reduction cheek fat with a Buccal Fat Removal
