In females blepharoplasty procedures always seem to produce favorable results. However, in males I have noticed sometimes the eye becomes rounded and whilst its more youthful looking it also appears feminine. Apart from using conservative skin excision is there other techniques such as incision shape to avoid feminizing of the eye area? Also is there options to restore masculine eye shape if an overly feminine eye shape is present like botox or fillers?

Answer: Masculine appearing eyelids
Generally avoiding over feminizing of the male eyelids depends on performing conservative surgery, that is limiting the amount of skin and possibly fat removed. We don't want to creat a hollowed out look as a result of removing too much fat. Usually a male brow looks better a llittle lower and with a flatter shape than a woman's. Sometimes what people perceive as loose skin hanging over the upper eyelid is really a low brow, but the temptation to raise the brow too high must be avoided. If the area in the upper eye socket below the brows looks to empty, then a careful placement of fat or hyaluronic acid filler can help soften the area. I would only consider Botox just below the outer end of the brow to help raise up that portion of the brow if it is too low. But again, the key in periorbital surgery in a male is to be conservative.

Answer: Eyelid Surgery in Men This is a good question. Male eyelid surgery is slightly different than in female surgery. The masculine features of the male face are important to retain. Whether its a facelift or an eyelid lift, the techniques and incision placement are slightly different than in women. Particularly, with lower eyelids, it is important not to feminize this area. The total look of the male face is important. Whether is is fillers, or surgery, the masculine and sharpness to the face is extremely important. The eyes must not be overdone. This is the most common mistake that makes the eyes look feminine. Good luck. I always say your face is the diamond, so polish it well. Good Luck
