Noninvasive Body Contouring: A Male Perspective

Dermatol Clin. 2018 Jan;36(1):49-55. doi: 10.1016/j.det.2017.09.007.

Abstract

Noninvasive body contouring is an attractive therapeutic modality to enhance the ideal male physique. Men place higher value on enhancing a well-defined, strong, masculine jawline and developing a V-shaped taper through the upper body. An understanding of the body contour men strive for allows the treating physician to focus on areas that are of most concern to men, thus enhancing patient experience and satisfaction. This article discusses noninvasive body contouring techniques, taking into account the unique aesthetic concerns of the male patient by combining an analysis of the existing literature with our own clinical experience.

Keywords: Body contouring; Cryolipolysis; Jawline; V-taper.
