Upper and Lower Eye Lift for Men
The upper and lower eye lift for men (or Blepharoplasty) is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin from the upper eyelids. Male eye lifts also reduce the bagginess of the lower eyelids. This gives the patient’s eyes and faces a more youthful appearance. An eye lift can eliminate aging signs and improve older individuals’ vision. Hooded or sagging eyelids can also interfere with and harm a man’s vision. The Male Plastic Surgery group specializes in performing upper and lower eye lift procedures for men. Our surgeons have helped men achieve their ideal results over the last decade.
How Is An Eye Lift Performed?
There are two different types of eye lift surgeries: upper eye lift and lower eye lift. While both surgeries involve removing excess skin, they are done in two distinct parts of your eyes. You also have the option to get just one part of the eye lifted or both parts, depending on the results you want.
Upper Eye-lift
Excess skin and fat on the upper eyelid can make the eyelid feel heavy and puffy and give you an aged appearance. This can also block vision at times. The process of performing an upper eye lift surgery consists of making micro-incisions precisely on the creases of your eyelid. Before beginning the procedure, the doctor will first use local anesthesia or IV sedation, of course. Next, Dr. Steinbrech will safely separate the skin from the underlying tissues in that area. This removes the excess fat and skin. Next, the surgeon will close the cuts by making tiny stitches in the upper lid that will stay for 3-6 days.

Lower Eye-lift
Getting a lower eye lift surgery reduces wrinkles and improves the shape of the lower eyelid since the excess fat and skin have been removed from that area. Some people also add fat to the under eyes to combat a hollow appearance. There can be several methods through which lower eye lift surgeries can be done. One such procedure is called a transconjunctival approach. It involved making small incisions below the lash line or inside the lower eyelid. The cuts and incisions made in this procedure are usually not visible and don’t require stitches. Some people also combine this eye lift surgery with laser resurfacing of the undereye area. This further reduces fine lines and wrinkles.
Who Is A Good Candidate for Eye Lift Surgery
The eyes are one of the first and most common areas that show aging. Therefore, anyone who has had their eyes subjected to aging and desires to get rid of it can be a good candidate for eye lift surgery. In addition, men with excess fat and puffiness on the upper eyelids, sagging or loose skin on the eyelid folds, or droopy eyelids can benefit greatly from this surgery. Under-eye bags are also a common issue that can be fixed with this surgery. Male candidates who desire a tighter facial appearance in the eyelid region are good candidates.

Male Eye Lift Recovery Time
One of this surgery’s standard visual side effects is swelling of the eyelid, which can be dealt with with cold and warm compresses. In some cases, mild discomfort might also occur in the area of the surgery since the eyes tend to be a sensitive location, especially for surgery. However, this pain and discomfort are temporary, and people rarely need medicine. The overall recovery process might take up to a few weeks. Patients can return to daily activities once the swelling is gone. If you wear contact lenses, you should also do that after the swelling has gone down.
