Male Eye Surgery

Sleek lines without looking overdone

"

Men's eyes, different from women's

"Naturally cool and handsome eyes. Men's eye surgery is not about creating a line, but refining the impression."

— Dr. Choi Dong-il, Chief Director

ABOUT

What is Male Eye Surgery?

A procedure that enhances both masculinity and naturalness, rather than just enlarging the eyes.

Appealing lines, not thick lines

For men, if the double eyelid line is too thick, it can look burdensome. Therefore, Non-double Eyelid Ptosis Correction or Double Eyelid Removal (Hiding) are methods used to complete a refreshing, clear, yet natural eye shape.

As male eye surgery is tricky, the surgical method and design must be decided through sufficient consultation, and at Gangnam Seoyeon, a clinic with abundant know-how in male eye surgery, it is highly recommended to undergo the surgery.

With skills proud enough to present to other doctors, Gangnam Seoyeon has conducted in Korea numerous lectures on non-double eyelid ptosis correction.

※ Information on the surgery process and recovery may vary flexibly depending on the patient's condition.

Precise Diagnosis + Personalized Approach

Determining the appropriate method among non-double eyelid, inner double eyelid, or hidden line by comprehensively considering skin thickness, muscle strength, and existing lines.

CONCEPT

Design Principles Different from Women's

Even for the same double eyelid, the resulting design goes in the exact opposite direction.

Women's Double Eyelid Design — Visible double eyelid
FOR WOMEN

So the double eyelid is visible

For women, it is common to design the line to be clearly visible.

Men's Double Eyelid Design — Double eyelid covered by skin
FOR MEN

So the double eyelid is covered by skin

For men, a method must be used where the double eyelid exists but is covered and hidden. Using a skin excision method without creating a double eyelid can cause many side effects, so the double eyelid must be covered by skin.

METHOD

Men's Eye Surgery Methods

We perform personalized surgery that harmonizes with the entire face as well as creating a natural and refreshing eye shape.
Because men often have thick skin and frequently experience the fold loosening,
incisions are mainly used, but non-incisional methods are used in about 10~20% of cases.

METHOD A

Men's Non-double Eyelid Non-incisional Ptosis Correction

About 10~20% of all cases — Carefully applied when indications are met

By tying the Müller's muscle through the conjunctiva, we create a clear impression while minimizing scarring.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it possible to do the surgery without it being noticeable?
If proceeding with a monolid or inner double fold design, the line itself is barely visible while creating a clear impression.
Do men also need ptosis correction surgery?
If the eye-opening strength is weak, you may look sleepy or develop forehead wrinkles. Ptosis correction is often necessary.
Will people notice during the recovery period?
Major swelling recovers in 1 week, and a natural appearance in 2-4 weeks.
I don't like my existing double fold, can I remove it?
It is possible. With the double fold removal (lowering) technique, you can naturally refine cases where the natural line is too high or has become awkward.
Do men also need canthoplasty?
If the horizontal length of the eyes is short or the epicanthal folds are strong, it can be performed conservatively in combination.
Surgery Information Complications such as bleeding, infection, and inflammation may occur after surgery, and results may vary by individual. Please consult thoroughly with a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and to determine the appropriate procedure.
