For Men

In the past five years there has also been a dramatic increase in the number of men seeking cosmetic procedures for everything from body sculpting to face lifts.

Despite this growing demand, men contemplating facial surgery are often fearful surgery may result in an "operated look" or – even worse – make them appear more feminine. And certainly men have not been well served by some sections of the cosmetic industry which have tended to take a "one size fits all" approach.

At Shape, however, we have tailored our procedures to ensure the male aesthetic is both retained and enhanced – including our world first procedures to  reshape and "masculinise" the face without surgery (Masculinisation and Media) .

"The world’s most famously handsome leading men such as George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Antonio Banderras all share the same defining features: a low and heavy brow, minor facial lines, a strong square jaw line and prominent chin." says Shape's founding director, Dr Steven Liew

"That is why at Shape we take the approach that men must be treated more conservatively than women to ensure they retain the rugged facial features that define the quintessentially good looking male."

    Dr Liew says all facial cosmetic work with men, surgical or non surgical should ensure the male aesthetic is retained by keeping to the following guiding principles;
  • Softening facial lines, folds and wrinkles - but not completely removing them
  • Restoring lost facial volume - but not exaggerating features
  • Working to a facial template that reflects the universal ideal of the handsome male, including the angular lower face shape which typifies male morphology.

This is consistent Shape's approach to all cosmetic procedures, says Dr Liew : "Everyone will notice - no-one will know”
