Male and female faces are easily distinguishable due to sexual dimorphism, which refers to the physical differences between sexes. Certain facial features are more commonly associated with men, while others are characteristic of women. Objective measurements and statistical analysis have helped identify some of these distinctions:

• Men typically have a wide, square chin, whereas women often have a narrow, V-shaped chin.
• In men, the bizygomatic width (distance between the cheekbones) is nearly equal to the bimandibular width (distance between the jaw angles), giving the face a square appearance.
• In women, the bizygomatic width is greater than the bimandibular width, creating an inverted triangular shape.

These differences provide a basis for enhancing masculine or feminine facial aesthetics. Dermal fillers can be strategically applied to specific areas of the face to accentuate or create a more masculine or feminine appearance, depending on the desired outcome.
