Natural Impression Improvement with ‘Male Monolid Eyelid Surgery’ by Dr. Yoo Young-moon of Vibe Plastic Surgery, Sinnonhyeon Station
Learn how male monolid (hidden double eyelid) surgery and canthoplasty can naturally improve sleepy or sharp eyes through a real case study by Dr. Yoo Young-moon.

Hello.
I am Dr. Yoo Young-moon, Director of Vibe Plastic Surgery.
Recently, interest in male eye surgery has been steadily increasing, not just among women.
In particular, many people want to change ‘naturally’ without it being ‘obvious’.
Today, I will introduce a case of natural impression improvement through a ‘monolid (hidden double eyelid) surgery case for a male patient in his 20s’.
✔ Pre-surgery Concerns
The patient visited our clinic with the following concerns:
Asymmetry between the left and right eyes
A sleepy appearance due to sagging eyelids
Eyes that appear small
An aggressive or sharp image due to upturned and closed outer corners of the eyes
In such cases, it is important to take an approach that improves the overall eye structure and impression, rather than simply creating a double eyelid.
✔ Surgical Method
In this case, to achieve a natural change without being excessive, we applied the following methods:
1. Natural Adhesion Eyelid Surgery (Monolid to Hidden Double Eyelid)
Forms a natural hidden double eyelid line rather than a thick, visible fold
Improves clarity while maintaining a masculine image
Design that considers the balance between the line and the strength of opening the eyes
👉 In male eye surgery, ‘how natural it is’ is the most important factor.
2. Lateral and Lower Canthoplasty
Softens the upturned outer corners of the eyes
Opens up the closed back area to extend the horizontal length of the eyes
Changes the overall impression to a softer one
👉 This is a key point in making the image itself softer, rather than just making the eyes larger.







✔ Post-surgery Changes
The following changes were observed after the surgery:
Sleepy-looking eyes → Clear and comfortable-looking eyes
Small-looking eyes → Naturally larger-looking effect
Upturned eye corners → Soft and likable impression
Improved overall balance through asymmetry correction
The most important point is that it ‘hardly looks like surgery’.
✔ Why Male Monolid (Hidden Double Eyelid) Surgery is Recommended
The reasons for recommending a hidden double eyelid line in male eye surgery are clear:
Natural change without being excessive
An image that is professional and comfortable for social life
Does not disrupt the existing atmosphere of the face
Achieves both clarity and softness simultaneously
This surgery provides very high satisfaction for those who:
✔ Have eyes that look sleepy
✔ Have a sharp or fierce impression
✔ Have eyes that appear small
✔ Conclusion
Male eye surgery is not just about creating a double eyelid.
The key is a design that considers the impression and balance of the entire face.
If you want a definite yet subtle change, ‘the combination of male monolid + canthoplasty’ can be an excellent choice.
At Vibe Plastic Surgery, we strive to find the most natural direction that fits each individual’s eye structure and image.
Thank you.
Frequently Asked Questions
In what cases is men's monolid (or hidden double eyelid) eye surgery recommended?
Yes, men's monolid (or hidden double eyelid) eye surgery is highly satisfying for those whose eyes look sleepy, whose impression seems sharp, or whose eyes appear small. It is suitable for those who want to improve their impression to be clear and soft without being excessive.
What surgical methods are mainly used for men's monolid eye surgery?
Mainly, natural adhesion double eyelid surgery (monolid to hidden double eyelid) and lateral canthoplasty with lower eyelid descent (duimit-teuim) are applied together. Natural adhesion creates a hidden double eyelid line that is not visible externally, and duimit-teuim softens upward-slanted outer corners and extends the horizontal length of the eyes to create a softer impression.
How does the impression change after men's monolid eye surgery?
After the surgery, sleepy eyes become clear and comfortable, and small eyes naturally appear larger. Additionally, upward-slanted outer corners soften, and asymmetry is improved, transforming the impression into a more favorable one.
What is the most important consideration in men's eye surgery?
In men's eye surgery, "how natural it looks" is the most important factor. Beyond simply creating double eyelids, designing that considers the overall impression and balance of the face is key, and it is crucial to ensure that there is almost no sign of surgery.
What effects does lateral canthoplasty with lower eyelid descent (duimit-teuim) surgery provide?
Lateral canthoplasty with lower eyelid descent (duimit-teuim) surgery has the effect of softening upward-slanted outer corners and opening up the seemingly blocked outer corner of the eye, thereby extending the horizontal length of the eye. Through this, it plays a crucial role in transforming the overall impression into a softer one.
