Middle-Aged Male Eye Surgery (Incisional Ptosis Correction, Under-Eye Fat Repositioning)

* Basic Information

​# Male in his 40s

# Eye-opening strength: Congenitally lacking on the right side. Severe asymmetry present.

# Skin sagging: Significant

# 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 strength. In particular, the right eye is congenitally weak, leading to severe asymmetry.

# Regarding the crease, he mentioned that a ‘monolid’ look where the line is barely visible or a very thin ‘inner double eyelid’ would be acceptable. Most men 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

​# Incisional Ptosis Correction

# Under-Eye Fat Repositioning

* Post-operative Progress

​# The patient is satisfied as it is now much easier to open his eyes compared to before, and the eyes appear larger and more symmetrical.

# In male eye surgery, it is crucial to achieve a natural change without looking greasy.

# Male eye surgery can be customized according to preference: ‘1. A look where the line is completely invisible, 2. A shape that is hidden at the inner corner and widens toward the back, 3. A shape where a slight line is visible like an inner 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 recommended to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon.

# Bulging under-eye fat can give a swollen and tired impression. This can be resolved relatively easily without scarring through the conjunctiva inside the eye, making it a low-burden solution for those with minimal skin sagging.

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