Eyelid surgery for men removes excess skin around the eye that develops with age and skin laxity. It’s one of the most effective ways to reduce the tired, heavy look that can develop with age—without changing your natural expressions or facial features. Our surgeons are skilled at blepharoplasty for men, which requires different techniques in order to maintain a masculine appearance. We also tailor male blepharoplasty to your facial structure, skin type, and goals. Our approach is conservative and precise, helping you look rested, alert and more youthful.
(Blepharoplasty for Men)
—
Combination with Brow Lift or Neck Liposuction for full rejuvenation
to reduce under-eye bags.
Lower eyelid surgery
to remove overhanging skin or heaviness.
Upper eyelid surgery
Surgery of the upper eyelids typically takes 1 to 2 hours under local anesthesia with sedation. Additional techniques may require more time and consideration for sedation or a general anesthetic.
how it
works—
Surgery may include:
As we age, the skin around the eyes loses elasticity. For some people, fat can bulge under the eye, creating heavy bags. In men, this excess skin around the eye can look heavy and prominent.
Blepharoplasty is a delicate surgery that removes or repositions fat and skin in the upper and/or lower eye area to restore definition and reduce puffiness.
Your surgeon and nurse will walk you through your personalized recovery plan.
