Dr. Lara Devgan on the Best Recommendations for Male Facial Optimization

Facial optimization isn’t just about looking younger—it’s about refining masculine features in a way that feels natural, confident, and balanced. When asked what the best approach is for male facial optimization, Dr. Lara Devgan breaks it down into four core areas that work synergistically to create a strong, structured appearance.

  1. Jawline Definition
    “A defined jawline is the cornerstone of a masculine face,” says Dr. Devgan. Whether through non-surgical contouring or surgical intervention, improving mandibular definition helps anchor the lower third of the face. This can include fillers for subtle sculpting or jawline implants for those needing structural enhancement. A crisp jawline gives the face a grounded, chiseled look.

  2. Fat Grafting for Volume Loss
    As men age, they lose deep fat in the midface and temples, which can make the face appear hollow or tired. Fat grafting restores volume using your body’s own fat, rebalancing proportions while avoiding an overfilled or artificial look. “It’s about restoring youthful vitality, not puffiness,” Dr. Devgan explains.

  3. Neck Lift
    The neck is often overlooked, but it plays a critical role in male facial harmony. “A heavy or loose neck can age a man more than any wrinkle,” says Dr. Devgan. A neck lift tightens underlying muscles and removes excess skin or fat, creating a clean transition from jaw to collarbone that radiates strength and refinement.

  4. Chin Implant
    A well-proportioned chin enhances the entire face. Dr. Devgan often recommends chin implants for men with retrusive chins or poor projection. “It creates balance between the nose, lips, and jaw—and can completely change the face’s profile for the better,” she notes.

Dr. Devgan’s tailored approach to male facial optimization combines anatomy, aesthetics, and surgical precision. By enhancing these key structural elements, men can achieve a more defined, confident, and masculine appearance—without losing what makes them look like themselves.
