Eyelid surgery for men
Correction of drooping eyelids and bags under the eyes, while maintaining a natural masculine eye shape.
What is eyelid surgery for men?
Eyelid surgery for men is a surgical procedure in which excess skin and fat around the eyes are corrected.
With age, the skin around the eyes can slacken. This can lead to drooping upper eyelids, bags under the eyes, and a tired appearance.
As a result, men may look older, more tired, or heavier than they feel.
The goal of the procedure is to maintain the natural eye shape while creating a more open and refreshed look.

How is eyelid surgery for men performed?
Eyelid surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia, possibly combined with sedation.
Safety
The procedure typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment.
In an upper eyelid correction, excess skin is removed and small fat deposits can be corrected.
In a lower eyelid correction, fat can be removed or repositioned. In some cases, the incision is placed on the inside of the eyelid, leaving no visible scar on the skin.
Results
Eyelid surgery can provide a fresher and more rested look, a more open gaze, and a face that appears less tired.
The goal is always a natural result where the facial expression is preserved.
In men, extra attention is paid to avoiding a result that is too tight or feminized.
Aftercare
After the procedure, temporary swelling around the eyes, bruising, and a slight feeling of tension may occur.
These symptoms usually subside within one to two weeks.
Most patients can go home the same day and resume their daily activities after about one week.

How long will the results remain visible?
The result usually remains visible for many years, although the natural aging process continues.
When might a lower eyelid correction be necessary?
A lower eyelid correction can be considered for pronounced bags, fat accumulation, or excess skin under the eyes. Depending on the anatomy, fat can be removed, moved, or redistributed.
Can eyelid surgery be combined with other procedures?
Yes. Eyelid surgery can be combined with other facial treatments such as a brow lift, facelift, or facial lipofilling.
