Blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery in men

By Dr. José Villamarín.

I am Dr. José Villamarín, oculoplastic and facial aesthetic surgeon. Today I wanted to talk to you about blepharoplasty in men and its special characteristics.

What are the most common facial aesthetic techniques in men?

In today’s competitive world, a man’s appearance has great impact not only on his personal life but also on his work life. Today I will talk about blepharoplasty in men and other common techniques.

What characteristics does blepharoplasty have in men?

In men, unlike women, bags and dark circles tend to be more prominent on the lower eyelids. And in the upper eyelids, hooding or hooding is usually observed, that is, an excess of skin that can cover part of the eyelashes.

I adapt blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery techniques for men by increasing the level of preservation surgery, eliminating even less muscle and fat volume than in women.

I also reposition the fat homogeneously, especially on the dark circles, to avoid excess liposculpture and any degree of feminization.

And what about the periocular area in men?

In addition to blepharoplasty in men, I rejuvenate the periocular area. I don’t usually raise my eyebrows unless it’s really necessary, and always following the male pattern. Again, the skin is usually more damaged than in women and requires specific surgical and non-surgical treatment, especially with laser, soft peels, nanofat or other procedures.

What other procedures do I usually do besides blepharoplasty in men?

In addition to blepharoplasty in men, the techniques I most frequently perform on men include: neck liposuction, face lifts, and volumization or contouring of the face, chin, or jaw. I also perform specific medical aesthetic treatments for men.

Sometimes I see men with maxillary hypoplasia or a jaw with less volume than necessary for facial harmony, and who may benefit from dermal fillers, lipofilling or custom alloplastic implants.

Conclusions

The main cosmetic surgery techniques for men are neck liposuction, blepharoplasty, face lifting, and volumization and contouring of the face. Each technique requires procedures adapted to the male facial structure and function. We also adapt the technique, threshold and dose of anesthesia in all cases.
