Would You Benefit from Cosmetic Surgery For the Eyelids?

Healthy men who are bothered by their droopy eyes can benefit from male blepharoplasty. If you have the following concerns, you may be a great candidate for eyelid surgery:

• Drooping eyelids
• Puffiness or bags under the eyes
• Excess eyelid skin
• Reduced peripheral vision

The Male Blepharoplasty Cosmetic Procedure For Upper and Lower Eyelids

Male blepharoplasty can be performed as upper eyelid surgery (upper blepharoplasty), lower eyelid surgery (lower blepharoplasty), or a combined cosmetic surgery for the upper and lower sagging eyelids.

Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty

For the upper lids, the surgeon makes an incision in the natural crease of the eye and removes excess upper eyelid skin and fat. The remaining skin will be tightly sutured in place with dissolvable sutures to smooth the upper eyelids.

Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty

Similarly, for the lower eyelids, an incision is made along the lower lash line to remove excess skin and tighten the eyelid muscles. The procedure takes about 1-2 hours and is performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia.

Male Blepharoplasty Recovery

Male blepharoplasty is considered a minimally invasive procedure, so there is a relatively short recovery period. Patients often take one week off work and should rest as much as possible during this time. Avoid strenuous exercise and direct heat (sun exposure and saunas) for about 10-14 days. Most swelling and bruising will subside after two weeks, leaving male patients with a more masculine appearance. Visible scarring is uncommon once fully healed, and scars are hidden in the eyelid’s natural crease to minimize visibility.

Schedule a Facial Plastic Surgery Consultation

If you are considering male blepharoplasty or another facial plastic surgery procedure, a consultation with Dr. Ghafouri can help determine the treatment that best aligns with your aesthetic goals. He can evaluate your upper and lower eyelids, facial features, skin quality, and concerns such as drooping eyelids, excess skin, under-eye bags, or tired-looking eyes. For male patients, treatment is carefully planned to maintain masculine characteristics and facial balance while creating natural-looking results.

During your consultation, Dr. Ghafouri can discuss upper eyelid blepharoplasty, lower eyelid surgery, or upper and lower eyelid surgery, including options to remove excess skin and fat while considering peripheral vision, recovery, and scarring. A personalized consultation provides a clear understanding of your options and how eyelid surgery can complement your natural facial features.

REVIEWS

“I couldn’t be more pleased. A week after my procedure my nephew came over and asked why I looked so much younger. I shared that I had surgery on my upper lids. There was minimal discoloration with following the information to the letter. I’m still wondering how Dr made me look like myself only younger. I told my husband my vision has gone from a regular movie theater to a I Max. The facility is beautiful and the staff very kind and welcoming. I had an eye specialist tell me he wouldn’t let anyone but Dr. Ghafouri do his Oculoplastic.”

“I had a consultation for an upper and lower blepharoplasty with Dr.Ghafouri. He was very attentive and suggested some other minor procedures that would improve the overall results. He answered all my questions.”

“Upon an excellent recommendation, I saw Dr. Ghafouri for eyelid surgery and after discussing procedures, I opted for upper eyelid surgery and laser resurfacing to remedy under eye dark circles and bags. While resurfacing was a bit more intense, eyelid surgery was easy given the care and attention I was afforded. The technician who performed laser resurfacing coached me through recovery at every step, concern and question. Dr. Ghafouri’s advice and explanations during follow-up care have been invaluable and during the entire 4-month time frame, the entire staff was caring and attentive. Couldn’t have asked for more.”
