Resumen

Objectives: To explore the critical aspects of maintaining masculine attributes in injectable procedures for the face, abdomen, and buttocks. This includes a comprehensive understanding of what enhances male musculature and virility and how to apply this knowledge in clinical practice. Introduction: Injectable procedures for both the face and body are increasingly on the rise. With the growth of cosmetic procedures for men, great care must be taken to avoid stigmatized results, especially those with feminizing characteristics. It is essential to highlight the attributes of male facial beauty and distinguish them from female beauty. This topic is well-documented in the literature and should be continuously revisited. Additionally, for body treatments, this concept holds significant value as well. Materials / method: A review of the existing literature on injectable treatments for the male face, abdomen, and buttocks was conducted. The focus was on identifying the differences between male and female aesthetic ideals, techniques for preserving masculinity in treatments, and discussing available methods and products that align with these goals. Key studies were examined to highlight effective approaches and identify gaps in the current literature regarding male-specific treatment strategies. Results: The findings from the literature review underscore the importance of customizing injectable procedures to emphasize male-specific features such as a defined jawline, prominent cheekbones, and muscular contours in the body. The literature has shown that while techniques for the face are well-documented, treatments focusing on the male abdomen and buttocks remain underrepresented. The research confirms that understanding and applying the appropriate methods are crucial to achieving optimal, non-feminizing results. Conclusion: With the rising demand for male cosmetic treatments, there is an urgent need for more focused discussion and education on techniques that maintain masculine characteristics. While the literature on facial treatments is extensive, information regarding body treatments, particularly for the abdomen and buttocks, is still developing and should be a point of emphasis. This session could offer both theoretical insights and practical techniques for facial, gluteal, and abdominal treatments tailored for men, adjusted according to the time available and interest of the congress.
