Eyelids are one of the first facial areas to show signs of aging. Often people aged in their mid-30s have drooping upper eyelid skin or fatty bags build up on their lower eyelids, which progressively results in a fatigued look.
Blepharoplasty or Eyelid Surgery in Delhi is the aesthetic operation that can effectively correct these cosmetic changes. It is performed at SB Aesthetics by the famous Blepharoplasty Surgeon Dr. Shilpi Bhadani at SB Aesthetics. Depending upon where the surgery is performed, there are two types of Blepharoplasty: Upper Blepharoplasty and Lower Blepharoplasty.
Men and women have distinct facial features. If Blepharoplasty is to be performed, the approach of the surgery would be different for men than for women. When the same surgery is performed in men as in women, the outcome would not be satisfactory. Often, the surgeon may end up feminizing the face of men. Therefore, the surgeon must carry out a customized approach to male blepharoplasty to get the desired, natural results for a lifetime.
What is Male Blepharoplasty?
Male Blepharoplasty refers to eyelid surgery for men. It is one of the most sought-after plastic surgery among men who want to look younger and refresher as they age. It is performed to treat a heavy, droopy eyelid.
How is Blepharoplasty different for men and women?
The approach used in male blepharoplasty is different from that of women. It is mainly based on the features of a male face and eyelid. These include:
- The upper eyelid crease or natural fold of the skin is naturally lower in men than in women.
- The eyebrows are typically slightly lower, and the eyelids appear fuller in men. Therefore, in male blepharoplasty, the surgeon usually removes less skin and often even has to perform brow-lifting procedures simultaneously to achieve the best results.
- During the consultation with Dr. Shilpi Bhadani, the Best Plastic Surgeon in India for male blepharoplasty, a customized treatment plan needs to be specifically created for the patient keeping in mind his unique eye shape.
What happens in Blepharoplasty for men?
Firstly, the eyelid skin is numbed by using local anesthesia with mild sedation. In the case of upper blepharoplasty in men, the surgeon then makes an incision in the eyelid skin near the eyelid lash line. This is done to maintain a masculine look on the face of men while rejuvenating their periocular area. Through the incision, the surgeon either removed or re-adjusts the extra eyelid fat tightens the eye muscles to uplift sagging eyelids, and excises extra or loose eyelid skin. Then the incision is closed with sutures.
For lower blepharoplasty in men, the incision is made inside the lower eyelid or under the eyelash line. It is done to reduce eye puffiness or under-eye bags. Both surgeries can be performed together or separately, as per the patient's case. The general surgery typically lasts for 1-2 hours. When performed by a skilled and experienced facial plastic surgeon, a male blepharoplasty can help patients look younger, more awake and friendly, open-eyed, and attractive with sparkly eyes.
