- Men who want natural change without an obvious crease
- Weak eye-opening that makes you look sleepy or stern
- Puffy under-eye fat that makes you look tired
How Male Blepharoplasty works
For men, a high or pronounced crease often looks out of place. A low crease that is almost hidden when the eye is open, or ptosis correction without creating a crease, improves alertness while preserving character.
Under-eye fat repositioning is often combined, since puffy lower lids are a common reason men look tired.
Our approach to Male Blepharoplasty
Low, natural crease
Lines are kept low so they are barely visible when the eye is open.
Crease-free option
Ptosis correction can open the eyes without making a double eyelid.
Combination
Under-eye fat can be treated in the same session.

Risks and side effects of Male Blepharoplasty
- Swelling and bruisingMost visible swelling settles in 1–2 weeks; the crease keeps softening for 1–3 months.
- AsymmetrySmall left–right differences can remain because the two eyes are rarely identical; minor touch-ups are occasionally needed.
- Over-correctionToo much change can look unnatural, so lines are kept conservative.
All medical procedures carry risks. Your surgeon will review your medical history, explain the risks that apply to you and discuss alternatives before you decide.
Male Blepharoplasty recovery timeline
| When | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Day 0 | Surgery and rest in a private recovery room; most patients return to their hotel the same day. Cold compresses start straight away. |
| Days 2–3 | Swelling and bruising usually peak. Keep your head elevated, walk gently and avoid alcohol, saunas and exercise. |
| Days 5–7 | Check-up at the clinic; stitches, splints or tapes are removed where used. Most patients are cleared to fly after this visit. |
| Week 2 | Most visible swelling has eased and many people return to desk work and light make-up. |
| Months 1–3 | Residual swelling keeps settling and the shape refines. Strenuous exercise is usually resumed after 4 weeks. |
| Months 6–12 | The final result is generally assessed at this stage. We follow up online after you return home. |
