Monolid Ptosis Correction & Under-Eye Fat Repositioning

* Basic Information

# Male in his 30s

# Eye-opening strength: Slightly insufficient

# Skin sagging: Moderate

# Skin thickness: Moderate

# Impression: Appears swollen and tired due to bulging under-eye fat

* Consultation

# The patient visited to improve a sleepy and tired impression caused by weak eye-opening muscles.

# He preferred a monolid look where the line is barely visible or a very thin hidden double eyelid. Most male patients want to avoid a ‘greasy’ or overly heavy look.

# We also decided to perform under-eye fat repositioning to address the bulging fat and create a more refreshed appearance.

* Surgical Plan

# Non-incisional Ptosis Correction (Monolid style)

# Under-eye Fat Repositioning

* Post-operative Progress

# The patient is very satisfied as it has become easier to open his eyes, and they appear larger than before.

# In male eye surgery, achieving a natural change without looking ‘greasy’ is crucial.

# Male eye surgery can be customized according to preference: ‘1. A look where the line is completely invisible, 2. A hidden line that only becomes visible toward the outer corner, 3. A thin hidden double eyelid visible from the start, or 4. A distinct 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 it is important to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon.

# Bulging under-eye fat can create a swollen and fatigued impression. This can be resolved relatively easily without visible scarring through the conjunctiva inside the eyelid. It is an excellent option for those with minimal skin sagging as it offers a low-burden solution.

Consultation and surgery should always be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!
