Gender-Specific Approaches to Eyelid Surgery,

Complex for Men with Large Double Eyelids

Eyelid surgery, particularly double eyelid surgery, has become increasingly popular.

It is commonly sought after during vacations for working professionals, summer breaks for college students,

and after the college entrance exam for high school students.

The popularity of double eyelid surgery stems from its relatively short recovery time, provided that proper care is taken.

Given the high number of surgeries, it is crucial to avoid a one-size-fits-all approach akin to mass production.

Experts emphasize the need for an individualized approach, taking into consideration factors

such as facial shape, nose, eyebrows, forehead, and the unique harmony of eye features for each person.

Approaches to double eyelid surgery also differ between genders. According to Dr. Choi Hyeok-jun,

director of Nana Plastic Surgery, the approach for men should be distinct, as overly thick or large double eyelids can actually

become a source of insecurity. Dr. Choi states, "For male double eyelid surgery,

the focus should be on achieving a natural and refreshing eye appearance.

Consulting with a specialist who understands the differences in eye surgery between men

and women and making surgical decisions based on individual preferences is crucial."

Moreover, many men opt for eyelid surgery without creating double eyelids, aiming for a distinct and refreshing eye appearance.

Eyelid surgery without creating double eyelids can transform protruding eyelids

that make it difficult to open the eyes or give a tired appearance into a softer and more refined image.

Dr. Choi emphasizes, "Eyelid surgery should take into account factors such as skin thickness,

fat and muscle distribution, and the strength required to open the eyes. Even though it's a commonly sought-after surgery,

applying the same eyelid line and technique to everyone is not appropriate."
