A man’s eye is completely different from a woman’s.

Today’s job market is more competitive than ever. Every man and woman feels the need to appear smarter to compete with younger colleagues for profitable jobs. While cosmetic surgery was quite rare among men in the past, Dr. Özge Ergun currently sees a significant increase in Male patients undergoing Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty) surgery. “They don’t want a full facelift,” she explains. “They don’t prefer fillers… but they want to look much younger and feel the need for facial rejuvenation.”

Motivation for Eyelid Lift Surgery

Most often, a male patient’s inspiration for this surgery is their wife, girlfriend, or spouse. For male patients, eyelid lift (Blepharoplasty) differs somewhat compared to female patients.

Difference Between Male and Female Eyelid Lift Surgery

Thanks to anatomy and aesthetics, there are some features that make men handsome and women striking. Dr. Özge Ergun can perform brow lifts on women because their brows are slightly above the brow bones, but she cannot do so on men as brow lifts may feminize them. People tend to soften men’s brows and position them directly on or slightly below the brow bone. Typically, when you cross-check someone and can’t figure out what’s wrong but notice they no longer look like a person, this is usually the cause. It often results from a standard female facelift or eyelid lift surgery.

Due to the importance of volume restoration in the cheeks, Özge Ergun, MD does not create a high arch in male patients’ eyes as she does for females, which is usually done with Blepharoplasty to create a smooth transition from under the eye to the cheek. Özge Ergun explains, “I actually need to keep it aligned and flat.”

Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty)

A good choice for young patients. Young men often complain about dark circles under the eyes and/or a tired appearance on their face. This is usually due to aging after their 30s and will increase every decade.

Transconjunctival Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty) can be a good way to rejuvenate the eye area. During the procedure, Dr. Özge Ergun makes an incision inside the lower eyelid to remove excess fat pads that cause a man’s eyes to look tired and puffy.

However, when a person reaches their late 40s to early 50s, they will likely need a traditional Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty), which involves removing excess skin, tightening some fat, and lifting the corners of the eyes.

As a result, Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty) has increased as an incredibly effective method for men to rejuvenate their entire face.
