Men's Monolid Ptosis Correction

* Basic Information

· Age: 20s, male

· Eyelid lifting strength: Quite weak

· Skin drooping: 3 mm

· Skin thickness: Moderate

· Request: Defined eye shape with a monolid look

​

* Consultation

· He often hears that he looks sleepy or has an intimidating expression due to weak eyelid muscle strength.

· He is comfortable with a result ranging from a nearly invisible crease (full monolid) to a subtly visible crease.

· He had also considered epicanthoplasty, but since the inner corner was not particularly constricted, it was not recommended.

​

* Plan

Non-incision ptosis correction

* Post-Surgery Progress

· It has only been 2 weeks since surgery, so there is still some swelling. With time, the result should look more natural and settle into an almost monolid appearance.

· The patient is happy, saying it is easier to open his eyes and they look bigger. ^^ We have not been able to follow up as he has gone abroad, but we trust he is doing well.

· His eyelashes are incredibly long — even longer than those of most women wearing mascara!

* Key Points

1. Male eyelid surgery can achieve a wide range of looks: '1. no visible crease at all, 2. no crease at the inner corner that gradually widens toward the outer corner, 3. a faint inner crease visible from the start that mimics an inner double eyelid...' and many other variations.

2. Ptosis correction is a functional procedure. Those who have difficulty opening their eyes may suffer from headaches, forehead wrinkles, and other related symptoms — please consult a board-certified plastic surgeon.

For consultations and surgery, always see a board-certified plastic surgeon!

Frequently Asked Questions

How can the line shape be adjusted during male ptosis correction?

Yes, the line shape can be adjusted in various ways during male ptosis correction. It is possible to design according to individual needs, from a monolid that appears to have no line at all, to a shape where the inner part is not visible but widens towards the back, or a shape that looks like an in-line double eyelid from the beginning.

How long does swelling last after non-incisional ptosis correction?

Swelling after surgery varies from person to person, but it usually lasts for about 2 weeks. As time passes, the swelling will subside and become more natural, and it is expected to look almost like a monolid.

Does ptosis correction surgery have other functional effects besides cosmetic purposes?

Yes, ptosis correction is a functional surgery. People who have difficulty opening their eyes often complain of headaches or forehead wrinkles, so ptosis correction can also improve these functional discomforts.

Do many men also get epicanthoplasty (front canthoplasty)?

It is not necessarily common. In this case, the patient's inner corner was not very constricted, so epicanthoplasty was not specifically recommended. The necessity varies depending on the individual's eye condition.

What is the satisfaction level after ptosis correction surgery?

The satisfaction level after surgery is high. This patient was also satisfied because it became easier to open their eyes and their eyes seemed larger. It is expected that the swelling will subside and become more natural over time.

In what cases can ptosis correction be considered?

Ptosis correction can be considered if you often hear that you look sleepy or have a fierce impression due to insufficient strength to open your eyes, or if you experience headaches or forehead wrinkles due to discomfort in opening your eyes.
