Recently, ptosis correction surgery has emerged as a new plastic surgery trend among men. Eye plastic surgery, which was once considered the exclusive domain of women, is now receiving great attention among men who want a natural and clear look. In a social atmosphere where appearance management is considered a competitive advantage, and as the number of men seeks subtle changes to suit their self-image, ptosis correction is attracting attention as a surgery that can not only provide cosmetic improvements but also functional improvements.ptosis correction is a surgical procedure that corrects the strength of the muscles that lift the eyelids. It is effective for those whose eyes are half-covered due to weak eyelid muscles or who have a heavy, hooded appearance due to ptosis. Correction is also possible if the pupils are less exposed and make you look sleepy, or if the opening power of both eyes is different, resulting in asymmetrical eyes. Its characteristic is that beyond the simple cosmetic purpose of enlarging the eyes, it also helps secure vision and improve eye function.
Particularly, for the recently increased male demand, many prefer naturally clear eyes rather than flashy eye shapes. Unlike double eyelid surgery, ptosis correction matches this need, creating refreshing and defined eyes without being obvious.
Meanwhile, men's eyes have thicker skin and firmer muscles and tissues compared to women's eyes. For this reason, it is important for experienced medical professionals to carefully analyze the patient’s eye structure and expressions to design a tailored approach. Rather than blindly creating bigger eyes, it should be approached in a way that harmonizes with the overall facial image to achieve a natural result.
JAYJUN Plastic Surgery Director Park Kisoo advised, "Male ptosis correction is not simply a surgery to enlarge the eyes or create double eyelids; natural results can be achieved only when performed considering the function and structural characteristics of the eyelid muscles. To achieve this, check whether the medical staff has a lot of experience in male plastic surgery and carefully understand each individual's image, appearance characteristics, and skin condition, and receive thorough consultation."
