Symptoms of Blepharoptosis in Men in Their 20s

The symptoms of blepharoptosis vary. In general, the eyes appear small, sleepy, and droopy.

People often give an unclear impression, and the eyebrow muscles become developed from frequently using the eyebrows.

To secure their field of vision, they lift their chin or use their forehead as shown in the photo below, and even in their 20s, they may have many fine forehead lines.

If this condition continues, as shown in the photo below, it can settle into deep wrinkles as they get older, and they may look older than their peers. If detected early, it is best to proceed with ptosis correction surgery.

Causes of Blepharoptosis and How to Fix It

Blepharoptosis refers to a condition in which the pupil is covered due to various causes, and there are two major causes.

It can be divided into two types: when the eyelid is sagging and when the muscle that opens the eyes has weakened.

If it is simply a case of eyelid skin covering the eye, it can be solved by removing the skin. It can be addressed with upper blepharoplasty, incision double-eyelid surgery, and similar procedures.

However, in cases of blepharoptosis caused by weakened eye-opening muscles, if only the eyelid skin is removed, the ptosis will remain and the forehead will be used again.

When the forehead is raised, the double-eyelid line that had been at a normal height becomes thicker.

This look is called a "sausage eye," and it is one reason men avoid double-eyelid surgery.

If a patient with blepharoptosis has only the skin removed without ptosis correction, these symptoms are bound to appear.

Therefore, to fundamentally solve blepharoptosis, ptosis correction surgery is absolutely necessary in addition to skin excision.

Next is a photo that clearly explains the 6-month recovery process after blepharoptosis surgery in a man in his 20s.

In the case of the patient below, the ptosis symptoms were somewhat severe. Not only was there sagging skin, but the strength of the eye-opening muscles was also insufficient, so upper blepharoplasty and ptosis correction were performed together.

Recovery After Ptosis Correction Surgery

The changes at 3 months and 6 months may seem almost the same, but you can see that less force is being used slightly.

After about 1 year, it becomes completely natural, and it will feel as if it were originally your own eye.

If ptosis correction is performed together as in the patient above, the overall impression can change significantly depending on the degree of exposure of the dark iris and the position of the eyebrows.

Up to 1 month, swelling may come and go again depending on the condition, and the double eyelid may feel thick.

After 3 months, it settles to some extent, and after 6 months to 1 year, it becomes natural enough that it no longer feels like surgery.

Before and After Ptosis Correction The following is a photo comparing eyelid length and the degree of dark iris exposure after ptosis correction surgery.

Ptosis Correction for Men in Their 20s with Monolids

For men, satisfaction with the results of ptosis correction surgery can differ from that of women. Female patients tend to prefer larger or more dramatic double eyelids, while men want a natural look without double eyelids and with a clear, sharp eye shape.

If someone had no double eyelids before and their appearance changes after surgery, it is naturally not easy to get used to. Rather than thinking they look prettier like a woman, they may feel that the double eyelids look heavy, and they may even feel embarrassed that the double eyelid appeared suddenly.

Therefore, for men, the double-eyelid line design differs from that for women, and the height is also different.

Monolid ptosis correction is designed to make the double-eyelid height as low and natural as possible.
