Male Monolid Eye Lift and Hidden Double Eyelid Surgery

Male Monolid Eye Lift and Male Hidden Double Eyelid Surgery
It's been a while since we've covered male monolid eye lift correction in depth.
When this procedure was first presented at a conference in 2017, very few hospitals were performing it. Following the presentation, it appears to have rapidly gained popularity.
We subsequently published a paper and submitted it as an SCI journal article.
This is the paper that was published in the American Journal of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.
So what exactly is this surgery? It's a procedure for men whose pupils are partially hidden. The surgery enlarges the eyes while keeping the double eyelid line invisible.
Some patients require eye shape correction, while others do not.
In this patient's case, while the pupils appear significantly obscured, it is actually the skin that is covering them. When you lift the eyebrow and examine the interior, the eyes are actually quite large. This is commonly referred to as "pseudoptosis."
In such cases, without eye shape correction, simply creating a lower double eyelid line and removing only the sagging skin can make the eyes appear noticeably larger.
The surgical results look excellent, and it's truly gratifying to see.
Looking closely, this patient has a striking resemblance to actor Lee Seung-gi.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is male hidden double eyelid surgery?
This is a male eye surgery that enlarges the eyes while keeping the double eyelid line invisible on the surface. The distinguishing feature is maintaining the monolid or hidden double eyelid appearance while improving the portion of the pupil that was previously obscured, creating a sharper and more defined look.
When was male monolid eye lift correction first presented?
It was first presented at a professional conference in 2017. At that time, very few hospitals were performing the procedure, but it rapidly gained popularity following the presentation. The technique was subsequently documented in an SCI journal article and published in the American Journal of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.
What is pseudoptosis and how is it treated?
Pseudoptosis occurs when the pupils appear hidden and the eyes look small due to sagging skin, even though the eyes are naturally quite large. In such cases, without eye shape correction, simply creating a lower double eyelid line and removing the sagging skin can make the eyes appear significantly larger.
Do all men require eye shape correction surgery?
No, not all men do. While some require eye shape correction, others may not. If the eyes are naturally large when you lift the eyebrow to check the interior, it may indicate pseudoptosis, which can be improved without eye shape correction.
Is there academic evidence supporting male hidden double eyelid surgery?
Yes, there is. Since its presentation at a professional conference in 2017, the technique has been documented in an SCI journal article and published in the American Journal of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (affiliated with the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery).
