Male Ptosis Correction at VIBE Plastic Surgery!
A case study of a male patient in his 20s who achieved a clearer, more alert look through non-incisional ptosis correction and epicanthoplasty.
* Basic Information
# Male in his 20s
# Eye-opening strength: Somewhat lacking
# Frequently hears that he looks ‘sleepy’ or ‘tired’
* Consultation
# The patient visited to improve a sleepy and tired impression caused by weak eye-opening muscles.
# Since making the line too thin would result in a minimal eye-enlarging effect, we planned for a hidden double eyelid (inner fold) style.
# The stuffiness caused by the Mongolian fold was decided to be improved through epicanthoplasty.
* Plan
# Non-incisional Ptosis Correction
# Epicanthoplasty
* Post-operative Progress
# The patient is very satisfied as it is now easier to open his eyes and his gaze has become much clearer compared to before surgery.
# For male eye surgery, it is crucial to achieve a natural change without looking ‘greasy’ or overly dramatic.
# Male eye surgery can be customized according to preference: ‘1. No visible line at all, 2. Hidden at the inner corner and widening toward the tail, 3. A slight visible line like a thin inner fold from the start, 4. Sharp in-out or out-fold lines,’ etc.
# Ptosis correction is a functional surgery. Those who struggle to open their eyes often suffer from headaches and forehead wrinkles, so please consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon.

Frequently Asked Questions
In what cases is male ptosis correction necessary?
Male ptosis correction is necessary when one wants to improve a sleepy or tired impression due to insufficient strength to open the eyes. It can also be considered for functional improvement in cases where difficulty opening the eyes leads to headaches or forehead wrinkles.
How is the double eyelid line designed for male eye surgery?
For male eye surgery, various lines can be designed for a natural change without looking greasy. In this case, it was planned as an in-fold double eyelid to reduce the effect of the eyes looking too big, and it can be customized according to preference, such as no line at all or a line that widens towards the back.
Can other surgeries be performed in conjunction with non-incisional ptosis correction?
Yes, it is possible. In this case, non-incisional ptosis correction was performed along with epicanthoplasty to resolve the stuffiness caused by Mongolian folds, in order to improve a sleepy and stuffy impression. Depending on the individual's eye condition, necessary surgeries can be planned in combination.
How long is the recovery period after ptosis correction surgery?
This post presents post-operative progress photos at the 2-month mark. Changes such as easier eye opening and clearer eyes were observed at the 2-month mark, and the recovery speed and the timing of the final results may vary by individual.
Does ptosis correction have other functions besides cosmetic purposes?
Yes, ptosis correction is a functional surgery. Insufficient strength to open the eyes can cause headaches or forehead wrinkles, and ptosis correction helps improve these functional discomforts and allows the eyes to open comfortably.
What are the important points for achieving natural results in male eye surgery?
In male eye surgery, it is crucial to pursue natural changes without ever looking greasy. It is important to have sufficient consultation with a plastic surgeon to consider individual facial harmony and preferred eye line, and to establish the most suitable design and surgical plan for oneself.
