Visible signs of aging can make you feel dissatisfied about your appearance. Under eye puffiness, wrinkles and drooping eyelids can make you look tired or angry. Male eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, can help you feel more confident about the way you look. It is best suited for males just beginning to experience visible signs of aging.

How Male Eyelid Surgery Works

Male eyelid surgery is performed using local or general anesthesia and takes around one to three hours. Excess fat and skin are trimmed to create a smoother surface. Lower eyelid surgery can help reduce puffiness and bags under the eyes. Male eyelid surgery differs from female eyelid surgery in the techniques used. A masculine look is maintained while restoring a more youthful appearance.

Swelling and bruising may be expected for two weeks after surgery. Any discomfort can be minimized through the use of ice packs and pain medications. Male eyelid surgery can be combined with other cosmetic procedures to improve your appearance. You should be able to resume normal activities a week after the procedure.

Ideal Male Eyelid Surgery Candidates

Men who have excess skin around their eyes may be ideal candidates for male blepharoplasty. While male eyelid surgery can be done at almost any age, most candidates are typically over 45 years old. You should be in good general health with no underlying medical conditions that would impact healing. Smoking should be ceased at least three weeks prior to the procedure.
