AB Plastic Surgery: What Men Should Check Before Non-Double-Eyelid Ptosis Correction Eye Surgery

Hello, I am Director Son Ji-hwan of AB Plastic Surgery.

Recently, as more men have become interested in eye surgery, many are looking for ways to naturally make their eyes appear more defined.

In particular, there has been growing interest among men in non-double-eyelid eye-shape correction, which improves eyes that look sleepy or heavy while maintaining the existing monolid appearance.

It is important to accurately examine the eye structure and the strength used to open the eyes before determining the direction of male eye-shape correction surgery.

Who May Need Male Eye-Shape Correction Surgery?

Not every man needs male eye-shape correction surgery.

However, if you have any of the following characteristics, you may consider eye-shape correction.

• The pupil is largely covered by the eyelid when the eyes are open

• The eyes usually look sleepy or tired

• You use significant force in your forehead or eyebrows when opening your eyes

• Wrinkles appear on the forehead when you try to open your eyes wide

• There is a difference in the size of the left and right eyes or in the strength used to open them

• You want your eyes to look more defined naturally rather than having double eyelids

Q. Which method is more suitable for men: incisional double-eyelid surgery or non-incisional surgery?

For male double-eyelid surgery, it cannot be said that one method is unconditionally better than the other: incisional or non-incisional.

However, men generally have relatively thicker eyelid tissue and often prefer a low crease. Under typical conditions, the incisional method may help create a stable adhesion and maintain the result.

Q. Will it be very noticeable if a man has plastic surgery?

An important consideration before male eye surgery is creating a natural, subtle inner double-eyelid crease that does not look excessive.

Rather than simply making the eyes larger, it is important to design the procedure while considering facial proportions, eye length, and the distance from the eyebrows. If necessary, an eye-opening or corner-revision procedure may also be considered.

Q. Can middle-aged men also undergo eye surgery?

Men in their 40s and 50s can also undergo male eye-shape correction surgery.

If there is sagging of the upper eyelids or lowering of the eyebrows, procedures such as a forehead lift, sub-brow lift, or upper blepharoplasty may be considered depending on the condition. Sagging of the lower eyelids may be improved through lower blepharoplasty.

Q. How does the impression change after male eye-shape correction surgery?

Non-double-eyelid eye-shape correction may help improve an expression that looks heavy or tired, making the eyes appear more defined and open.

If a man's eyes become excessively defined or the double-eyelid crease is made too high, the result may instead differ from the natural appearance he originally wanted.

Therefore, male non-double-eyelid eye-shape correction should focus on finding and appropriately improving what is lacking in the current eye shape, rather than making the eyes as large as possible.

Q. Is it actually possible to achieve natural-looking eyes like those of a male celebrity?

If the celebrity's eyes and your own eye characteristics are similar, photos can be used as a reference during a consultation for non-double-eyelid eye-shape correction. However, each person's conditions differ, including their bone structure, eyelid thickness, and distance from the eyebrows, so a customized design that suits you is important.

If you want natural-looking male eye surgery, it is important to thoroughly discuss your desired eye shape and the current condition of your eyes with the medical team before surgery, confirm them accurately, and establish a surgical plan suited to you.
