If You’re Considering Male Eye Surgery: Buried Double Eyelid Surgery & Eye-Shape Correction Surgery

If You’re Considering Male Eye Surgery?

Buried Double Eyelid Surgery · Eye-Shape Correction Surgery

Hello.

I am Director Choi Jun-ho of Mutoel Plastic Surgery.

At Yongsan Mutoel Plastic Surgery, we provide treatment through collaboration among three specialists in dermatology, plastic surgery, and pathology, while considering our patients’ health and beauty together.

Recently, many men are also considering eye surgery to improve their appearance in a more natural way.

In particular, rather than having an overly thick double eyelid line or an artificial-looking change, many people want a clear and neat impression that harmonizes with their existing eye shape.

During consultations, we are often asked questions such as:

“Can men also have double eyelid surgery using the buried method?”

“Will my eyes look clearer if I only have double eyelid surgery?”

“My eyes look sleepy. Do I need eye-shape correction surgery?”

Compared with women’s eyes, men’s eyes may have different structural characteristics in the skin, eyebrows, and areas around the eyes.

For this reason, rather than simply creating a double eyelid line, it is important to consider the overall eye shape and harmony with the face.

Today, we will take a detailed look at buried double eyelid surgery and eye-shape correction surgery for men, which many men are concerned about.

What Is Buried Double Eyelid Surgery for Men?

The buried method creates a double eyelid line using medical thread without making an incision in the skin.

The basic principle is to create a double eyelid line at an appropriate position while considering the eyelid skin and the structures involved in opening the eyes, thereby forming a natural-looking eye shape.

Compared with the incisional method, it places relatively less stress on the skin and generally involves a simpler recovery process. For this reason, it can also be considered for men who want a natural-looking change.

However, not everyone is suitable for the buried method.

If the eyelid skin is significantly droopy, there is a large amount of fat, or the eyelid structure makes it difficult to maintain a double eyelid, another surgical method may be more appropriate.

Therefore, before surgery, it is important to comprehensively assess the thickness of the eyelid skin, skin laxity, the amount of fat, and whether an existing double eyelid is present.

Characteristics of Buried Double Eyid Surgery for Men

✔ Performed without making an incision in the skin

✔ A natural-looking double eyelid line

✔ Relatively little tissue damage

✔ Considered when you want to reduce the burden of recovery

✔ Customized design based on the eye structure

If Your Eyes Look Sleepy,

You May Consider Eye-Shape Correction Surgery

Among those considering double eyelid surgery, some people are concerned not simply about the absence of a double eyelid line, but about having small- or sleepy-looking eyes due to insufficient strength when opening the eyes.

Eye-shape correction surgery is one option that may be considered in such cases.

Eye-shape correction surgery is performed to improve the function of opening the eyes and the eye shape, taking into account the muscles that open the eyes and the movement of the eyelids.

Rather than simply aiming to make the eyes larger, the focus is on creating a clearer and more natural-looking eye shape after assessing the strength used to open the eyes and the position of the eyelids.

Therefore, not everyone who undergoes double eyelid surgery needs to have eye-shape correction surgery at the same time.

It is important to accurately assess the current strength used to open the eyes and the eye structure, and to combine the procedures only when necessary.

Cases in Which Eye-Shape Correction Surgery May Be Considered

✔ When the eyes look sleepy

✔ When you use significant forehead tension to open your eyes

✔ When it is difficult to open the eyes clearly

✔ When the eye shape itself needs improvement rather than just a double eyelid

✔ When you want a natural yet clearer-looking eye shape

How Are Buried Double Eyelid Surgery and

Eye-Shape Correction Surgery for Men Different?

Although the two procedures may appear similar, they have different purposes.

Buried double eyelid surgery primarily focuses on creating a double eyelid line to make the eyes look clearer.

In contrast, eye-shape correction surgery aims to improve the eye shape by considering the strength used to open the eyes and the position of the eyelids.

Therefore, if your main concern is the absence of a double eyelid line, you may consider the buried method. If your concern is that your eyes look sleepy or that you lack sufficient strength to open them, you may also consider eye-shape correction surgery.

Of course, the two procedures may also be performed together.

The important thing is not to automatically undergo both procedures, but to select the necessary procedure based on the current structure of your eyes and the changes you want.

Buried Double Eyelid Surgery vs. Eye-Shape Correction Surgery

Buried Double Eyelid Surgery

→ Formation of a double eyelid line

→ Creating a clearer-looking eye shape

→ A natural-looking change

Eye-Shape Correction Surgery

→ Considering the strength used to open the eyes and eyelid movement

→ Improving a sleepy-looking eye shape

→ Creating a clearer-looking eye shape

One of the points men talk about most when considering eye surgery is a “change that does not look obvious.”

If the double eyelid line is excessively thick or the size of the eyes changes too much, it may not harmonize with the overall impression of the face.

In particular, various factors affect men’s eye shape, including the distance between the eyebrows and eyes, the thickness of the eyelids, and the bone structure around the eyes.

Therefore, rather than simply deciding the size of the double eyelid line, it is important to design it while considering the proportions of the entire face and the existing eye shape together.

For natural-looking eye surgery for men, rather than first asking “How much should the eyes be enlarged?”, it is necessary to first identify “What aspects of the current eyes should be improved?”

What Results Can Be Expected from Buried Double Eyelid Surgery / Eye-Shape Correction Surgery for Men?

Results may vary depending on the individual’s eye structure and the surgical method. However, with an appropriate surgical plan, the following changes may be expected:

✔ Improvement of a blurry-looking eye shape

✔ A clearer overall impression

✔ Formation of a natural-looking double eyelid line

✔ Help with improving a sleepy-looking eye shape

✔ Improved harmony between the eyes and the face as a whole

However, the changes that appear after surgery may vary depending on the individual’s skin and eyelid structure, as well as the strength used to open the eyes.

Therefore, during the consultation process, it is important to sufficiently assess the image you want and the current condition of your eyes.

This May Be Considered for People Who:

Have no double eyelids and whose eye shape looks unclear

Are men who want natural-looking double eyelids

Are concerned that their eyes look small or sleepy

Use significant forehead tension when opening their eyes

Want to improve their eye shape along with creating double eyelids

Want eye surgery that looks natural and harmonizes with their face

However, the recommended surgical method may differ from person to person.

While some eyes are suitable for the buried method, depending on skin laxity, fat, and eyelid structure, another method, such as the incisional method, may be more appropriate.

Eye-shape correction surgery should also be performed only when necessary, after sufficiently assessing the strength used to open the eyes and the movement of the eyelids.

The Most Important Thing Is a Surgical Plan Suited to Your Eyes

What is important in eye surgery for men is not simply creating double eyelids.

You should assess the current structure of your eyes and the balance of your face as a whole, while considering both the image you want and the changes that are realistically possible.

In particular, many men want a natural and neat change in their impression. Therefore, it is important to comprehensively consider not only the height and shape of the double eyelid, but also the distance between the eyebrows and eyes, the thickness of the eyelids, and the strength used to open the eyes.
