Male Eyelid Surgery

Do I Need a Male Eyelid Lift?

The effects of genetics, stress and aging are especially noticeable in the thinner skin around the eyes of many men starting in their 30’s. Upper eyelids begin to sag while the lower eyes can develop wrinkles, puffiness or a hollowed out look. If you are tired of looking tired, an upper and lower male eyelid lift is a simple but powerful procedures to restore an alert, rested appearance. Request a consultation to see how the relatively straightforward male eyelift procedure, also known as a male blepharoplasty, removes the physical wear and tear around the eyes while maintaining a natural and masculine appearance. You’ll look as alert and energetic as you feel.

What Does Male Eyelid Surgery Treat?

A male upper eyelid lift removes heavy, loose skin of the upper eyelids to give a more open and defined look to the eyes. A male lower eyelid lift removes loose, wrinkled skin from around the eye, but may also include removal of puffy fat and repair of sagging tissue for a more smooth and firm appearance.

How Is a Male Eyelid Lift Performed?

In planning your eyelid surgery, we tailor the procedure to your individual concerns. Subtle differences in the facial structures of a man must be considered to achieve attractive masculine results. As an example, surrounding features such as eyebrows and cheekbones must not be altered in order to retain a distinct male contour. Additionally, men have thicker skin and heavier facial muscles that must be accounted for in the surgical techniques used.

A male eyelid lift typically takes 45 minutes to 1 hour. Upper eyelid surgery and simple lower eyelid lifts can be performed as an office based procedure with local anesthetic, or if preferred in a setting using twilight anesthesia. More complex male lower eyelid surgery is done in a setting using mild general anesthesia.

What is the Downtime After a Male Eyelid Lift?

Recovery from a male eyelid lift is quick. Scars hide in the natural creases of the eye and all visible stitches are removed after a couple days. Following the male eyelid lift, most men return to in-person work and social activities in about a week. Other than an alert, recharged appearance, there is little to indicate that you had cosmetic surgery.

Can Other Male Face Surgery Procedures Be Done at the Same Time?

A male facelift can be done alone or in conjunction with other male plastic surgery procedures such as male neck lift, male brow lift, Botox, and laser and skin resurfacing.
