Eyelid Surgery for Men

Cosmetic surgeries such as eyelid rejuvenation were once mainly the domain of women. Those days are over.

Today in San Antonio and across the U.S. more and more men are choosing to have various cosmetic surgery procedures to rejuvenate their appearance. This is especially true for men who feel the need to compete with younger co-workers. A man’s eyes can really age the overall face and present a tired, older impression to others. Sagging eyelids and under eye bags and creases are all to blame.

Dr. Coleman performs eyelid surgery for many male patients to rejuvenate their eyes, and the popularity of this procedure continues to increase with men.

Statistics

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, of a total of 1,679,164 cosmetic surgeries performed in the U.S. last year, men accounted for 214,741 of those, making up 13 percent of the total.

For men, the most popular cosmetic surgery was rhinoplasty, nose reshaping surgery, with 52,660 procedures in 2018. Second was eyelid surgery with 31,494 procedures. Third was liposuction with 29,528 procedures.

Reasons men want eyelid surgery

Everyone wants to look rested, alert, and attentive. Hooded, sagging eyelids and deep lines and bags beneath the eyes make a man look older, tired, and less engaged.

For men, eyelid surgery has obvious similarities between men and women — both want to remove excess skin and tighten underlying support muscles — but there are also differences. On the upper eyelid, men want the skin lifted off of the eyelashes, but it can’t leave a hollow or feminized appearance. On the lower eyelids, men look to remove under eye bags and smooth the crease that often forms between the eyelid and the cheek.

These changes can take up to a decade off a man’s facial age. Plus, the eyes are usually the area of the face a person looks at first when initially meeting a person, so this procedure can really change the impression your eyes are making. Eyelid surgery with Dr. Coleman can be a great procedure for men who need to interact at work with men and women who are years, even decades, younger than they are.
