There are several types of male facial surgeriesthat offer men the opportunity to correct the aspects of their appearance they are not happy with.
Now, which male facial surgeries are most requested by men?
Male mentoplasty and the insertion of gonion implants are the two procedures that can give the face a more virile look, in line with current beauty standards.
More and more men are choosing to touch up their appearance through surgery, and there are several treatments that, applied to the male face, offer solutions to this demand.
On the one hand, mentoplasty is the surgical procedure by which the volume of the chin is increased or its shape is corrected. Patients who request this operation have a jaw that is underdeveloped and wish to change it. Through mentoplasty, a more defined profile and a more prominent jawline are obtained.
It is not a procedure performed exclusively on the male face, but it has often been used to achieve a more prominent chin, characteristic of the male sex.
In chin augmentation surgery, a solid silicone gel implant is placed in a procedure that lasts around 30 minutes. Recovery is relatively quick: the patient does not require hospitalisation, so they can return home after a few hours, and in less than 48 hours they will stop noticing the most significant discomfort.
There is also another surgery to achieve a more masculine face: the insertion of gonion implants. These implants are placed on the sides of the jaw, thus achieving the effect of a more prominent jawline. Patients who request it usually want to change a face that is too elongated or childlike.
The procedure for placing gonion implants is longer than mentoplasty, as it lasts an hour and a half. The postoperative period is also slightly longer, but in around four days the patient will notice that the swelling subsides or that any bruising disappears (although the latter is not very common).
Aspects to consider before undergoing male facial surgeries
In any case, whether the patient is clear about which aspects they want to correct or is unsure which procedure might suit them best, the ideal thing is to go to a trusted, professional cosmetic surgery clinic with extensive experience where they can advise them on the ideal operation for them. The surgeon will assess the patient’s demands and, taking into account their facial features and always seeking harmony and balance, will propose the most suitable treatment.
