Sharpen, Open, and Refresh—Masculine, Not Feminized

Male eyelid surgery enhances eye openness and reduces heaviness or bags while preserving a masculine brow–lid ratio and natural contours. At UE Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, our female board-certified facial surgeon designs lower creases, straighter lines, and volume-preserving techniques to avoid a “done” or feminized look.

Why Men Choose This Procedure

• Brighter, less tired eyes without obvious surgery
• Maintains low, subtle crease and strong brow position
• Reduces under-eye bags and shadows
• Improves symmetry and field of view (when ptosis is present)
• Minimal downtime protocols for busy schedules

Who’s a Good Candidate

• Heavy upper lids, hidden crease, or true ptosis (weak levator)
• Persistent eye bags/tear-trough grooves
• Asymmetric creases or post-aging laxity
• Healthy eyes and realistic expectations

Upper Eyelid (Male-Focused Design)

• Low, straight or slightly in–out crease (not high/arched)
• Volume conservation (fat/orbicularis) to prevent hollowness
• Skin-only or skin–fat redraping for subtle debulking
• Ptosis repair added if eyelid muscle is weak
• Brow–lid harmony managed to avoid a lifted or “arched” brow

Lower Eyelid (Eye Bags & Groove)

• Transconjunctival approach (scarless) for fat reposition/removal
• Subciliary approach if skin laxity needs tightening/support
• Tear-trough ligament release + fat redraping to blend the lid–cheek line
• Optional skin pinch/laser for crepiness—timed for discreet recovery

Epicanthoplasty & Corner Work (Case-By-Case)

• Conservative inner-corner refinement only if crowding limits design
• Lateral canthus support (canthopexy) to maintain a firm, masculine outer corner

What to Expect on Surgery Day

• Anesthesia: local with sedation or general (case-dependent)
• Time: ~30–120 minutes depending on procedures
• Incisions: hidden in crease/inside the lid or lash line when needed
• Discharge: same day with cold-compress and lubrication plan

Recovery Timeline

• Swelling/bruising: 3–7 days (upper); 5–10 days (lower)
• Suture removal (if used): 5–7 days
• Light work/exercise: ~1 week (gradual)
• Final refinement: 6–12 weeks; scars fade along natural lines

Results You Can Expect

• Cleaner lid definition with low, masculine crease
• Flattened eye bags and softer under-eye shadows
• Natural blink and comfort preserved—no hollowed or “wide-eyed” look

Aftercare

• Cold compress first 48 hours, sleep elevated 1 week
• Prescribed lubricating drops/ointment
• Avoid heavy workouts, sauna, contact lenses ~2 weeks
• SPF 50+ and silicone/scar care after suture removal if advised

• Screening for dry eye and lagophthalmos risk

FAQs

Will it look obvious or “done”?
No—our style is low, subtle, and volume-preserving to keep a natural, masculine look.

Do I need ptosis repair?
If the lifting muscle is weak, yes—we test MRD1/levator function and correct it to open the eye properly.

Is there a visible scar?
Upper-lid scars hide in the low crease; lower-lid incisions are usually inside the lid or at the lash line.
