Case Study: Male Monolid Ptosis Correction for Asymmetrical Eyes

When performing plastic surgery on men, it is surprisingly common to encounter cases of asymmetrical eyes.

This often occurs when the underlying skeletal structure differs on each side.

I will now discuss a case of male monolid ptosis correction for asymmetrical eyes.

Before the procedure, this patient exhibited facial asymmetry along with significantly sleepy-looking eyes on both sides.

The skeletal structure on the right side was relatively larger, and consequently, the right eyebrow was positioned higher.

This is the appearance one week after surgery, immediately after the stitches were removed.

The patient can now open his eyes well, and the asymmetry has been corrected to a significant degree. However, because it has only been one week since the surgery, some swelling on the outer edges makes the line visible; this line is expected to be covered as the swelling subsides.

Comparing each eye individually, you can see that the gaze has become much clearer and more defined.

To correct asymmetrical eyes, we typically first align the exposure of the pupils through ptosis correction.

After that, we determine the eyelid fold size and measure the degree of sagging to appropriately excise any excess skin.

In truth, rather than being a high-difficulty surgery, it is a procedure that requires a lot of meticulous manual work.

The more care and effort put into the process, the better the symmetry and the final result will be.

Male monolid ptosis correction is where asymmetry truly becomes a focal point. What I mean is that when using techniques to enlarge the eyes while keeping the double eyelid fold invisible, if the skin on one side sags more, it can look asymmetrical again. Therefore, even greater attention to detail is required.
