Objectives: When performing injectable treatments for male patients, this paper discusses the pathophysiology of aging in men, anatomical differences from women, as well as skeletal differences between Western and Asian men. Furthermore, it explores injection approaches that take into account trends based on patient demographics. Additionally, the treatment goals for male patients will also be addressed. Introduction: Traditionally, aesthetic treatments for men have primarily focused on enhancing masculine features. However, recent trends in male aesthetics are changing. Men's perception of aesthetic medicine often differs significantly from that of women. Among various treatments, filler injections have gained increasing popularity in recent years due to their non-invasive nature and minimal downtime. Materials / method: A survey was conducted on 1,000 Asian men aged 20 to 45 years (average age: 35.7 ± 9) to assess their needs for aesthetic medicine and their ideal facial features. Additionally, considering anatomical differences across genders and ethnicities, an injection approach suitable for Asian men was examined. Results: Through the survey on male perceptions, we were able to identify men's ideal facial features and aesthetic trends. Additionally, injectable treatments for the lower face allowed us to achieve results that closely matched individual male preferences. While these preferences do not necessarily correlate with anatomical characteristics, they can be effectively realized by applying an appropriate injection approach based on an algorithm. Furthermore, a high level of satisfaction was achieved among many male patients who underwent the treatment. Conclusion: While the number of male patients is increasing yearly, many men undergo aesthetic treatments based on an uncertain understanding of what is and is not possible, as well as the specific treatment methods, costs, and downtime involved. Anatomical structures and the concept of attractiveness differ between genders and ethnicities. Therefore, when consulting and treating male patients, it is essential to understand their needs and adopt a tailored approach. Ensuring a natural appearance, maintaining certain masculine features, and educating male patients about safety and potential side effects a
