- Hi everyone this is Dan Julien, nurse practitioner for Danesthetics Medical. I'm located here in
Ottawa, Canada. Today I'm talking about the male face or how to masculinize features. Often enough
medical aesthetics is tailored towards women.However whenever men come to see me there are
four key indicators that I look for to make sure that they look refreshed confident and masculine.
Stay tuned I think you guys are gonna enjoy this.
All right so before we begin I have to introduce you to my lovely assistants we have two today. We have Sarah and Stewart. Stewart's new to the show,
welcome Stewart. First off we're going to look at the eyebrows. For men we want to keep them low and
we want to keep them straight. No more than five degrees at the peak of the eyebrow and actually
if you're looking at Stewart's eyebrow here they're a little bit off, this one is a tad higher, and
if you look at that, you could easily say that that looks like a feminine eye compared to here. Just
that slight difference does make the difference of making a face look more masculine. So what I
try to do is keep it low, keep it near the orbital rim, and I can easily control that with some toxin.
Next we're going to go down to the cheek. Take a look at the cheek difference between these two.
What do you notice? Well it's hard to say on with this light but with Stewart's medial cheek
it's really flat. So is mine, and most men don't have much volume here with the medial cheek so I
never want to over inflate this medial cheek here. actually what I do is I take the orbital rim and
I never want to project the medial cheek more than three millimeters, it's key. Next is the apex of the
cheek, or where the light reflex should be, and this is pretty crucial. Two things that I look
for. One, I want to make sure that it's lower than a female cheek. And two, I also want to make sure that
it's more anterior or more in the front. The other thing that I want is I wanted to make sure that it
has a pretty sharp angle. For women we want smooth transitions & with men we want sharper angles.
Whenever I want to create the the male cheek I do a bolus technique right down to the bone,
and that's it. When I'm looking at Stewart's chin, there are three things that I look at in order to
try and masculinize it or sharpen it up a littlebit. I'm looking at how wide is his chin is, and I want it
to be ideally the width of his mouth. Bring that down, I'll draw two points here, and if it's not as wide
as those two points, and someone's looking to masculinize their feature or give him something
with a stronger, look I'll put two boluses right here and here. The other thing I look for is
projection. And I also look for length. So let's take a look at the projection first. What I'll do
is I'll take my, you know, a straight edge and I'll take the top lip, and I will want ideally, that chin
to hit the top lip. For women, I would like to hit the bottom lip for men it's the top lip. And if
it's not quite there I can bring it a little more forward and it's going to give him that
masculine look. Next is I'm going to apply the rule of thirds. And basically what I do is I take my
golden means calliper or whatever I want to use, and basically this should equal here, should
equal here, and it does! And if it doesn't, let's say if it's short here in the chin, basically
what I can do is I can add more length to it, by putting placing some fillers in there too.
All right so your key takeaway for the gonial angle or the jawline here for masculinizing a face
is this one to one ratio. Your projection of the cheek should equal the projection of the jawline.
And if it's a little tapered then what you can do is you can project it out, and that's always
going to masculinize a face. If you really want to get picky, what I also do here is whenever I'm
doing the jawline, I'm making sure that from the ear to the gonial angle and across, this is a very
sharp angle. I want to see a clear definition throughout. Where with Sarah's, I do want to see
a sharp definition here. But once I get to this gonial angle moving up, it's a little smoother.
All right so to recap I want a low straighter eyebrow. I want the mid cheek to not be too projected.
I want the apex of the cheek to be more anterior, a little lower and a nice angle. I want the chin to
be wider more projected, and I want the gonial angle to be projected - one to one ratio, and I
want a nice sharp angle as well.
So before I go I want to remind you that I am presenting this week at the United Doctors Congress, check that out! I also want to thank you all for all the
positive feedback that you left with my previous video. I'm doing everything possible to create the
second website, to make sure I'm allowed to do it, and at the same time I want to still post free
content for you guys here. So bear with me! More videos are coming! But I appreciate you being here.
Take care of yourselves, exercise daily and please be nice to absolutely everyone :) take care guys!
