Achieving a Defined Look with Male Ptosis Correction!
A case study of a male patient in his 20s who achieved a natural, defined 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 natural hidden double eyelid (in-fold) style.
# The stuffiness caused by the Mongolian fold was addressed 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 surgery.
# In male eye surgery, achieving a natural change without looking ‘greasy’ or overdone is crucial.
# Male eye surgery can be customized into various styles based on preference: ‘1. A look where the line is completely invisible, 2. A hidden line that gradually widens toward the tail, 3. A visible but subtle hidden double eyelid from the start, 4. A distinct in-out or out-line,’ etc.
# 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
In what cases can male ptosis correction be considered?
Yes, it can be considered if you often hear that you look sleepy or tired due to insufficient strength to open your eyes. Additionally, it may be necessary for functional improvement if you develop forehead wrinkles when opening your eyes or complain of headaches.
How is the double eyelid line created during male ptosis correction?
During male ptosis correction, natural changes that do not look greasy are important. The line can be designed in various ways according to individual preferences, such as appearing to have no line at all, a line that is not visible on the inside but widens towards the back, or a line that looks like an inner double eyelid.
Is it possible to combine ptosis correction with canthoplasty?
Yes, it is possible. If the epicanthic fold makes the eyes look stuffy, combining ptosis correction with canthoplasty, such as epicanthoplasty, can create a more refreshing and defined eye shape.
How is non-incisional ptosis correction performed?
Non-incisional ptosis correction is a method of correcting the eye shape by adjusting the strength of the eye-opening muscles without incision. In this case, non-incisional ptosis correction was applied to a male in his 20s with insufficient eye-opening strength to improve his sleepy impression.
I'm worried that my impression might look greasy after male ptosis correction.
No, for male eye surgery, it is important to pursue natural changes without looking greasy. You can choose various line designs according to your individual eye shape and desired impression, so you can achieve natural results through sufficient consultation with a specialist.
