Personal Insights on Male Monolid Ptosis Correction

I believe I have been performing #Male Monolid Ptosis Correction surgeries extensively since around 2015.

While I performed them occasionally before then, the volume increased significantly over the last three years. Based on these cases, I have had the opportunity to present at academic conferences and am currently working on a research paper.

However, as I present more and publish papers, neighboring clinics have started referring their difficult cases to me for resolution.

There are two critical points to consider regarding male monolid ptosis correction—precautions that must be taken.

First, performing a ‘monolid’ ptosis correction does not mean you should eliminate the double eyelid fold by removing all the excess skin.

If the eyes cannot close properly… what then? It is a distressing situation.

Second, one should not have blind faith in #Non-Incisional #MonolidPtosisCorrection.

Of course, everyone prefers a non-incisional approach for faster recovery. However, in men, not only is there a higher probability of the results loosening, but non-incisional methods also have a limited correction range. If a surgeon overreaches by pulling the Müller’s muscle too tightly, the patient will experience extreme discomfort.

It is truly unfortunate when patients come to me for an incisional revision after regretting their initial non-incisional procedure.

The patient above had thick eyelids and significant pupil coverage.

This case required not just fat removal, but the appropriate excision of the orbicularis oculi muscle, retro-orbicularis oculi fat (ROOF), and the septum.

Such results are impossible to achieve with a non-incisional method.
