Male ptosis correction differs from female double eyelid surgery by creating a lower crease, resulting in a cleaner, more refreshing masculine image.
Dr. Choi Dong-il at Gangnam Seoyeon Plastic Surgery has a deep understanding of the anatomical structure of the male face.
Through precise diagnosis tailored to each individual, he carefully plans your surgery to achieve a masculine look that complements your natural features.
Male ptosis correction surgery can be performed using either incision or non-incision techniques.
Since most men have thicker skin and the double eyelid can loosen over time, we typically perform the incision method.
In some cases, we may also perform lateral canthoplasty to achieve the desired result.
Wait a moment!
It's important to note that incision and excision are different procedures.
Male ptosis correction lowers the eyelid crease to create a hidden double eyelid appearance without tissue removal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who are candidates for male ptosis correction surgery?
Candidates include those who desire a more masculine, sharp eye appearance or are concerned about sleepy, dull-looking eyes. Additionally, those with a fierce or intimidating expression seeking improvement, those who experience forehead and eyebrow tension when opening their eyes, and those who want a softer, more approachable appearance are all candidates.
How does male ptosis correction differ from female double eyelid surgery?
It creates a lower eyelid crease that appears as a hidden double eyelid. Unlike female double eyelid surgery, the crease is not elevated, resulting in a cleaner, more refreshing masculine appearance.
Which method do you recommend: incision or non-incision?
Most men undergo the incision method because they typically have thicker skin, which can cause the eyelid to loosen over time. In some cases, lateral canthoplasty may be performed. The choice depends on your individual eye condition and will be determined after a precise diagnostic consultation.
What is Dr. Choi Dong-il's background and experience?
Dr. Choi is a board-certified plastic surgeon with over 20 years of experience. In 2018, he published the world's first SCI-level paper on male ptosis correction, demonstrating his safe and precise surgical expertise. He performs all procedures based on a deep understanding of male facial anatomy.
Are incision and excision the same thing?
No, incision and excision are different procedures. Even when using the incision method for male ptosis correction, the surgery lowers the eyelid crease to create a hidden double eyelid appearance without visible tissue removal.
