contents We consider the fermion mass renormalization due to the vector boson exchange within mesodynamics with nucleon and $ρ$ meson fields as well as quantum electrodynamics with electron and photon fields. The method of unitary clothing transformations is used to handle the so-called clothed particle representation that allows us to get rid of mass counterterms directly in the Hamiltonian. Thus, they can no longer appear in the S-matrix. Special attention is paid to the cancellation of the so-called contact terms that are inevitable in models with vector bosons. Within this formalism, the second-order mass shifts are derived. They are expressed through the corresponding three-dimensional integrals whose integrands depend on certain covariant combinations of the relevant three-momenta. Our results are proved to be particle-momentum independent and compared with ones obtained by Feynman techniques.
