AB Plastic Surgery Answers: Male Eye Shape Correction & Male Double Eyelid Q&A

Hello, this is AB Plastic Surgery.

One of the questions people often have when considering male eye surgery is:

Do double eyelid surgery and eye shape correction have to be performed together?

Many people want a more defined eye shape, but feel uncomfortable with a prominent double eyelid line or an obviously operated-on appearance.

In male eye surgery especially, it is important to create a naturally defined impression by considering the current strength of the eye-opening muscles, eyelid thickness, the degree of iris exposure, and the proportions of the entire face, rather than simply creating a double eyelid line.

Today, we will discuss, in a Q&A format, when male eye shape correction may be needed and the key points for creating natural-looking male double eyelids.

Q1. Does everyone need male eye shape correction?

A. No. Eye shape correction should be performed selectively when necessary.

Eye shape correction is not a procedure that is beneficial for everyone.

If excessive correction is performed when the eye-opening strength is already sufficient, discomfort caused by overcorrection or an unnatural eye shape may result.

Therefore, it is important to accurately determine whether the levator palpebrae superioris muscle, which opens the eye, is actually weak, or whether the eyes only appear smaller because of the eyelid skin or tissue.

In men, the brow bones are often more developed and the eyelid tissue is often thicker than in women, while thin and natural-looking inner double eyelid lines are generally preferred.

If the eye-opening strength is also weak in this situation, the double eyelid line may loosen easily or it may be difficult to create a clearly defined eye shape. Depending on the condition, combining the procedure with an appropriate degree of eye shape correction may be helpful.

Q2. Is there a way to make male double eyelids look natural and not obvious?

A. The harmony between a natural inner double eyelid line and appropriate eye shape correction is important.

In male eye surgery, rather than making the double eyelid line large, it is important to keep the line as natural-looking as possible while making the eyes appear defined and open.

In particular, when viewed from the front, many people prefer an inner double eyelid line that appears naturally near the outer corners of the eyes rather than one that is prominently visible across the entire eyelid.

However, the same height and shape do not suit everyone.

The size and degree of iris exposure, the horizontal length of the eyes, and eyelid thickness must all be considered, along with the proportions of the entire face.

Based on these factors, applying a double eyelid line suited to the individual, together with the necessary degree of eye shape correction, is key to creating natural and harmonious male eyes.

Male eye shape correction is not a procedure that everyone needs.

It is important to accurately assess the eye-opening strength and eyelid condition, and to perform the procedure at an appropriate level only when necessary. Likewise, rather than automatically making the double eyelid line larger, it is important to find a natural line that suits the proportions of the individual’s eyes and face.

If you want natural-looking male double eyelids and clearly defined eyes, we recommend creating a surgical plan suited to you by considering not only the height of the line but also the strength of your eye-opening muscles.
