The overwhelming reason for unnatural-looking results is that the masculine balance and proportion of the face were not maintained. At Carolina Facial Plastics, Dr. Kulbersh has specifically studied masculine facial features to prevent this issue and ensure all results look natural and age-appropriate.

Men have different facial anatomy, skin thickness, hair patterns, and aesthetic goals. Procedures must be customized to preserve masculine characteristics like stronger jawlines, lower brow positioning, angular facial contours, and appropriate proportional relationships.

Dr. Kulbersh uses specialized injection patterns and maintains the naturally lower, flatter male brow position. There are two distinct points doctors need to be aware of when treating male patients: preserving masculine brow positioning and using appropriate injection techniques that account for male facial muscle structure.

Certain nasal features create either masculine or feminine appearances. Dr. Kulbersh maintains straighter nasal profiles, adequate projection, masculine tip definition, and preserved bridge strength. We avoid overly refined or scooped profiles that can feminize the appearance.

Unlike traditional facelifts with incisions around the ears (difficult to hide with shorter hairstyles), direct neck lift uses a single incision under the chin with zig-zag closure. This is easily concealed, provides excellent results with faster recovery, and can often be performed under local anesthesia.

One of the main differences in face or neck lifts for men is the appearance of facial hair. Incisions are specifically placed in inconspicuous areas to prevent moving beard hair toward or behind the ears. Dr. Kulbersh uses meticulous closure techniques to prevent scarring while avoiding disruption of facial hair growth patterns.

The aesthetics of the chin are different for men and women. Male chins are more square and have increased projection compared to female chins. Dr. Kulbersh chooses differently shaped implants for male patients – typically larger and more square-shaped to enhance masculine definition, while female chin implants are smaller and more rounded.

For an inexperienced injector, it can be very easy to feminize a male face with facial injectables. Dr. Kulbersh treats male patients dramatically differently from females, using specialized techniques for common male treatment areas like jawline, chin, cheeks, under-eyes, and nasolabial folds to enhance rather than feminize masculine features.

The main difference in treatment choice for male facial skin is the presence of facial hair. Certain treatments may cause loss of facial hair, so we have many facial treatments that don’t interfere with hair growth while providing excellent rejuvenation. Dr. Kulbersh will recommend hair-safe treatments for bearded areas.

The key feature is the upper eyelid crease, which must remain low after upper blepharoplasty in male patients. If this crease is created too high, it can feminize the male eyelid. Dr. Kulbersh carefully preserves masculine eye shape and positioning during all eyelid procedures.

Recovery is customized based on age and degree of skin laxity. Since most males have shorter hair, incisions must be placed in inconspicuous areas and closed meticulously to prevent scarring. Most men can return to work within 1-2 weeks, depending on the specific procedure performed.

Non-surgical treatments like Botox last 3-4 months, while dermal fillers typically last 12-18 months. Surgical procedures provide long-lasting results – rhinoplasty and chin enhancement are typically permanent, while facelifts and blepharoplasty results often last 10-15 years or more.

Yes, we treat men from their 30s through their 70s and beyond. Treatment plans are customized based on individual goals, aging concerns, and lifestyle factors. Some men start with preventive treatments in their 30s, while others pursue surgical options later in life.

During consultation, Dr. Kulbersh will assess your specific concerns, examine your facial anatomy, and discuss your goals to determine the most appropriate treatment plan. Good candidates are physically healthy, have realistic expectations, and want to enhance their appearance while maintaining masculine characteristics.

Botox is the most common non-surgical procedure for men nationwide, followed by dermal fillers. For surgical procedures, men commonly get rhinoplasty, upper and lower eyelid lifts, face and neck lifts, and chin implants. The choice depends on individual goals, concerns, and desired level of enhancement.

Absolutely. Many men benefit from combining procedures for comprehensive results while minimizing overall downtime. Popular combinations include facelift with blepharoplasty, rhinoplasty with chin enhancement, or non-surgical combinations of Botox and fillers.

Dr. Kulbersh maintains proper facial proportions, preserves masculine features, and uses conservative approaches that enhance rather than dramatically change your appearance. His specialized training in masculine facial aesthetics ensures results that look refreshed and natural, never “operated on.”

Dr. Kulbersh will perform a comprehensive analysis of your facial anatomy, discuss your specific goals and concerns, and explain which procedures would best achieve your desired results while maintaining masculine characteristics. He may use imaging to show potential outcomes and ensure realistic expectations.

This depends on the procedure. Surgical procedures like rhinoplasty, chin implants, and blepharoplasty provide long-lasting results. Facelifts and neck lifts turn back the clock significantly, though natural aging continues. Non-surgical treatments require periodic maintenance but offer flexibility and minimal downtime.

Dr. Kulbersh opened Fairview Surgical Suites, an exclusive private surgical center devoted solely to advanced cosmetic surgery procedures, and Fairview Recovery Retreat, a luxurious recovery facility. These state-of-the-art centers maximize results while providing optimal care, comfort, and discretion for male patients.

Preparation varies by procedure but generally includes stopping blood-thinning medications, arranging time off work, and following specific pre-operative instructions. For surgical procedures, you’ll need someone to drive you home and assist during initial recovery. We provide detailed preparation guidelines for each treatment.

The goal is enhancement that looks completely natural. When performed by an experienced specialist like Dr. Kulbersh, most people will notice you look refreshed, well-rested, or more confident without being able to identify specific changes. The key is maintaining masculine proportions and characteristics throughout the enhancement process.
