Monolid Ptosis Correction and Under-Eye Fat Repositioning

* Basic Information

# Male in his 30s

# Eye-opening muscle strength: Slightly weak

# Skin sagging: Minimal

# 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 look ranging from a complete monolid to a very thin hidden double eyelid. Most men want to avoid a ‘greasy’ or overly dramatic look.

# We also decided to perform under-eye fat repositioning to transform the bulging lower lids into a clean, refreshed appearance.

* Plan

# Non-incisional Ptosis Correction (Monolid style)

# Under-eye Fat Repositioning

* Post-operative Progress

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

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

# Male eye surgery can be customized based on preference: ‘1. Completely monolid appearance, 2. Hidden line that only becomes visible toward the outer corner, 3. Thin hidden double eyelid visible from the start, 4. Clear In-out or Out-line,’ etc.

# Ptosis correction is a functional procedure. 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, making it an excellent option for those with minimal skin sagging.

Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!
