Objetivo: Avaliar o perfil sociodemográfico, psicossocial e percetivo dos homens que realizam procedimentos estéticos faciais, bem como identificar os fatores associados à procura destes tratamentos.
Materiais e Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo multicêntrico, transversal, através de um questionário online aplicado a 246 homens com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e os 65 anos. Os participantes foram distribuídos em dois grupos: indivíduos que já realizaram procedimentos estéticos faciais (YAP; n = 100) e indivíduos que nunca realizaram procedimentos estéticos faciais (NAP; n = 146). Foram recolhidos dados sociodemográficos e aplicadas as versões portuguesas validadas das escalas FACE-Q.
Resultados: Os homens que realizaram procedimentos estéticos apresentaram maior probabilidade de ter entre 31 e 45 anos, possuir rendimentos mais elevados e encontrar-se em união estável. Adicionalmente, demonstraram maior preocupação com o envelhecimento facial e maior sofrimento relacionado com a aparência, bem como menor satisfação com a aparência facial, função psicológica e satisfação com a região inferior da face e linha mandibular. A idade, o rendimento, o estado relacional, o país de origem e as preocupações relacionadas com o envelhecimento e a aparência constituíram preditores independentes da realização de procedimentos estéticos.
Conclusão: Os homens que recorrem a procedimentos estéticos faciais apresentam maior consciência do envelhecimento facial e maior preocupação com a aparência. Estes resultados contribuem para uma melhor compreensão dos fatores associados à procura masculina por tratamentos estéticos e poderão auxiliar no desenvolvimento de abordagens clínicas mais individualizadas.
Objective: To evaluate the sociodemographic, psychosocial, and self-perception profile of men who undergo facial aesthetic procedures, as well as to identify the factors associated with the demand for these treatments. Materials and Methods: A multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted using an online questionnaire administered to 246 men aged between 18 and 65 years. Participants were allocated into two groups: individuals who had previously undergone facial aesthetic procedures (YAP; n = 100) and individuals who had never undergone facial aesthetic procedures (NAP; n = 146). Sociodemographic data were collected, and the validated Portuguese versions of the FACE-Q scales were applied. Results: Men who had undergone aesthetic procedures were more likely to be between 31 and 45 years old, have higher income levels, and be in a stable relationship. In addition, they reported greater concerns regarding facial ageing and higher appearance-related distress, as well as lower satisfaction with facial appearance, psychological function, and satisfaction with the lower face and jawline. Age, income, relationship status, country of origin, and concerns related to ageing and appearance were identified as independent predictors of undergoing aesthetic procedures. Conclusion: Men seeking facial aesthetic procedures demonstrate greater awareness of facial ageing and increased concern regarding their appearance. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the factors associated with the demand for aesthetic treatments among men and may support the development of more individualized clinical approaches.
