Consultation Tips for Men Considering Double Eyelid Surgery

When men are considering double eyelid surgery,

they do not want “big, refreshing eyes” the way women often do.

In my experience, when men ask for double eyelids,

it is very rare for them to request

that the fold be made very large.

I think the biggest reason is probably

a cultural influence.

Western actors can have large double eyelids and still look handsome,

but in Korea, when a man has a strong double eyelid fold,

it tends to feel 부담스럽게 느끼는 경향이 있습니다.

There are handsome men like actor Ko Soo and Jang Dong-gun,

who have deep double eyelids,

but in general,

it seems there is a tendency to be less accepting of them culturally.

There are also medical reasons.

Compared with women,

men tend to have thicker skin,

and thick skin is the enemy of double eyelid surgery.

If the fold is placed even slightly higher,

because of the thick skin,

the impression can look very heavy

or give a burdensome feeling.

To prevent the face from looking too strong,

the double eyelid height for men is usually set lower.

When women visit a plastic surgery clinic,

their goal is often, “I want double eyelids.”

Men, however, approach things differently from the start.

They come in with functional concerns such as,

“I look sleepy,”

“I look tired,” or

“People say I look fatigued.”

For men with these concerns,

it is not always the case,

but in many cases, double eyelids are needed.

Looking sleepy or tired is often because the eyeball is covered a lot by the skin or eyelids.

That needs to be addressed.

No matter how much you try to open your eyes wide,

it is like making a window bigger but then having a curtain in front of it blocking the view.

No matter how much work you do to make the window (the eye) larger,

if you do not fold up that curtain (drooping skin) upward,

the amount of coverage does not change.

The process of folding this curtain upward

is the process of creating a double eyelid.

These days, many men also ask about

“no-fold surgery.”

What I think of as no-fold surgery

is essentially creating a very low double eyelid.

Of course, there are methods that remove only skin,

but the effect may be weaker

or the scar may be more visible,

so personally,

I prefer creating a very low double eyelid.

By making a very low double eyelid,

even if the curtain droops a little,

it should not sag as much as before,

so the eyes can remain more open and refreshing.

In the end, it may look like there is no fold,

but for functional improvement of the eyes,

a very low double eyelid line is created.

When women come in for a consultation,

they often already know fairly well

the line or eye shape they want.

Men, on the other hand,

often only say subjective things like,

“I look tired” or “I look sleepy.”

So during the consultation stage,

we actually need to take a more detailed approach.

We need to explain in advance what methods are available,

how large the double eyelid should be,

and what unwanted results might occur,

together with the pros and cons.

For people with limited information,

it is necessary to explain in detail and proactively,

including the parts they may later become curious about.

I think this is the level of detail that should be maintained

in male eye surgery.

Rather than spending time just worrying,

please talk comfortably with a specialist

about what kind of line suits you best.

If there are any men considering double eyelid surgery,

I hope this serves as a useful reference,

and helps you find the refreshing eye shape hidden beneath.

Thank you.
