[Medical Live] Male Eye Surgery: Ptosis Correction or Thin Double Eyelids Are Preferred

Appearance is a competitive advantage not only for women but also for men. Thanks to this, plastic surgery has also become widely common among men.

Among male plastic surgeries, eye surgery and nose surgery are among the procedures with the highest demand. In particular, eye surgery can have a significant effect on changing a person’s impression, so there is a lot of demand from men and male students who are preparing for job interviews or are about to get married or enter college.

However, male eye surgery has many differences from female eye surgery. If female eye surgery focuses on creating a feminine line and large, clear-looking eyes, male eye surgery tends to favor a natural look in which the double eyelid is barely noticeable, while the eyes themselves do not look narrow or sleepy.

Director Kim Yoon-ho of Grace Plastic Surgery said, “Male eye surgery is often performed through ptosis correction or canthal surgery compared with surgical methods used for women’s eyes. This is because men generally tend to want eyes that look defined and clear regardless of the double eyelid line.”

Ptosis refers to eyes that look sleepy because the muscles used to open the eyes do not function properly, so the pupil cannot be fully exposed. Therefore, when opening the eyes, the forehead is often used for strength, which can easily create deep wrinkles on the forehead and produce a blurred impression, making it a significant complex for many men.

Male eye correction is a surgical method that lifts the eyelid that was covering the pupil to make the eyes look larger and clearer. It is performed by adjusting the tension of the eyelid muscles using either an incision or non-incision method. After surgery, it can correct the eyes to create a neat and clear impression, satisfying both the functional and aesthetic aspects of the eyes.

In particular, for men who want double eyelids, it is possible to perform double eyelid creation and eye correction at the same time. In cases where a man wants eye correction without visible double eyelids, satisfaction can be improved so that the double eyelid is barely visible or appears only as a hidden double eyelid.

Also, in cases where there are no ptosis symptoms but the eye area is narrow and looks cramped, canthal surgery can be used to achieve the desired eye shape and changes in facial impression. Canthal surgery is performed as inner corner, outer corner, or lower corner surgery depending on individual needs, and it is also possible to combine it with double eyelid surgery to create a softer impression.

However, male eye correction surgery requires a more skilled surgical technique than the eye correction applied to women, because the eyelid skin is thicker and contains more fat, so the surgical range is larger. For this reason, surgery by a plastic surgery specialist with extensive clinical experience specifically in male eye surgery is essential, and special caution is needed when choosing the surgical method or plastic surgery clinic.

In addition, depending on the individual, male eye surgery may cause side effects such as unnatural-looking eyes after surgery, pain, inflammation, or bleeding. Therefore, it is advisable to receive sufficient explanation from the medical staff in advance and decide on surgery only after careful consideration.
