[Male Eye Plastic Surgery] People Keep Saying I Look Like I’m Glowering... I Want to Know Why ㅠ

Because of an eye shape that looked like I was glaring

A man’s story of having a lot on his mind

Before surgery for monolid eye-shape correction,

he had these concerns.

“People around me kept thinking I was angry. Even when I wasn’t thinking about anything, they said I looked like I was glaring... Whenever I heard that, I gradually spoke less and stopped making eye contact with people as much.”

This patient had thick eyelids from birth

and was a monolid without a double eyelid. Although he had enough strength to open his eyes,

the skin of the eyelid covered downward,

which gave his eyes a sharp, strong impression.

Cause analysis

Why did he have an expression that looked like he was glaring?

Thick, heavy eyelid skin

→ When the skin above the eyes hangs down over the eyeballs,

the eyes can look narrow and sharp.

Sagging skin under the brows

→ Especially for men with monolids,

because they do not excessively use the forehead muscles,

the area around the eyes can look even more congested.

He had enough strength to open his eyes,

but the eyelids covered them and blurred the eye shape.

→ Because of this, other people may misunderstand it as anger or a bad mood.

What led him to decide on surgery, and his concerns

"I really never glared at people,

but because misunderstandings kept happening... I started wondering if something was wrong with me and felt discouraged."

"In photos, my eyes came out blurry, so my impression looked gloomy, and I ended up not wanting to take pictures."

"Even at interviews or blind dates, when I saw the other person getting tense, I felt unnecessarily sorry."

As shown above, repeated social misunderstandings caused by appearance, and the resulting psychological withdrawal, were major reasons for deciding to have surgery.

• Problems that may occur if surgery is not performed

Persistent unnecessary misunderstandings in relationships with others

• Negative image becoming fixed in photos and first impressions
• Social withdrawal that develops without even realizing it
• Eyelids may become heavier, and the strength to open the eyes may weaken

(possibility of leading to functional problems)

Surgical method

Male monolid eye-shape correction

In this patient’s case,

instead of creating a new double eyelid line,

the surgery was performed by adjusting the strength of the eyelid-lifting muscle (levator palpebrae superioris)

so the eyes would look clearer and more defined.

The key points of the surgery are as follows

• Clearer eye shape correction without a double eyelid
• Inducing a natural change in impression

(designed to avoid any obvious "surgical look")

• Trimming part of the thick eyelid skin
• Strengthening the ability to open the eyes (eye-shape correction performed together if needed)

Diagnosis and advice from a board-certified plastic surgeon

Among male patients,

there are many cases where they do not realize

how strong their eye shape appears. However, if you repeatedly hear from others that you look

"scary," "tired," or "angry,"

it is a good idea to check the structure of the eyelids

and the balance of the muscles.

Surgery is not simply for cosmetic purposes;

it is a process of improving your impression and restoring the comfort of being yourself. It is important not to simply create a double eyelid,

but to make delicate adjustments suited to the structure.

In closing

The eyes convey many messages on the face. If you are being misunderstood because you unknowingly appear to be glaring,

it is worth looking into the cause and

correcting it with the right method.

We help you achieve a natural and gentle impression,

so you can meet yourself as you truly are.
