Achieving a Sharp and Defined Look with Male Ptosis Correction!
A case study of a 30-year-old male who improved his sleepy appearance through non-incisional ptosis correction and epicanthoplasty for a natural, sharp look.

* Basic Information
# Male in his 30s
# Eyes look small and sleepy due to weak eye-opening muscles.
* Consultation
# The patient visited to improve a sleepy and tired impression caused by weak levator muscle strength.
# The stuffy appearance caused by the Mongolian fold was decided to be improved through epicanthoplasty.
* Surgical Plan
# Non-incisional Ptosis Correction
# Epicanthoplasty




* Post-operative Progress
# The patient is very satisfied as it has become easier to open his eyes and his gaze looks much clearer compared to before.
# For male eye surgery, it is crucial to achieve a natural change without looking ‘greasy’ or overly dramatic.
# Male eyelid surgery can be customized based on preference: 1. No visible line at all, 2. A line that starts hidden and widens toward the end, 3. A thin line visible from the start like a hidden double eyelid, or 4. A clear in-out to out-line.
# 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.
Consultation and surgery should be performed by a plastic surgery specialist!
