A subtle, natural-looking hidden double eyelid for clearer, more defined eyes.
Men often prefer a hidden double eyelid or a very thin crease line over eyes with a large, prominent double eyelid line. Because of that, the approach needs to differ from women's double eyelid surgery, and since men tend to have thicker skin and wear less makeup, the surgery should be performed so that scarring is as inconspicuous as possible.
<Problem Analysis> Thin upper eyelid skin with a creaseless eyelid and little to no sagging
Design a low crease line suitable for a hidden double eyelid
Create micro-openings along the designed line
Use 5-7 continuous knots to create natural adhesion between the skin and muscle
A natural hidden double eyelid is completed
<Problem Analysis> Thick upper eyelid skin with severe sagging in a creaseless eyelid
Incise along the designed line and remove unnecessary fat and muscle
Measure skin thickness and suture at the appropriate depth
A clear hidden double eyelid is completed
The upper lids cover more than half of the pupils, and the eyelashes touch the eyes. Ptosis correction was needed to improve opening.
Incisional ptosis correction lifted the lids to reveal more of the eyes and created natural hidden creases.
The patient wanted the drooping lids lifted and the eyes lengthened horizontally.
The skin was not very thick, so non-incisional ptosis correction was used. Hidden creases and medial and lateral canthoplasty created the requested longer eye shape.
The eye openings are small in both dimensions. The patient wanted an overall increase in their apparent size.
Non-incisional ptosis correction created hidden creases. Upper, lateral and lower canthoplasty increased both horizontal and vertical eye opening.
The upper lids cover the pupils, with no visible creases. The patient wanted creases that remained as inconspicuous as possible.
Non-incisional ptosis correction revealed the eyes more clearly while creating the requested hidden creases and preserving a masculine appearance.
The eyes are horizontally long but vertically narrow, with no visible creases.
Because the skin was thin, non-incisional ptosis correction and natural hidden creases were used to give the eyes more definition.
The eyes are horizontally long but vertically narrow, without visible creases.
Buried-suture double-eyelid surgery created natural hidden creases, making the eyes look larger and more defined.
There are no visible creases, and heavy upper lids cover the pupils.
Non-incisional ptosis correction improved eyelid opening. Natural hidden creases preserved a masculine appearance.
The creases and canthoplasty performed four years earlier had loosened. The patient wanted revision surgery to open the outer corners and make the eyes look larger.
Buried-suture double-eyelid surgery created natural hidden creases. Revision upper, lateral and lower canthoplasty increased the overall eye opening.
Surgery is planned for both men and women based on the crease shape and height each person wants, but in general, men tend to prefer a thinner, more natural crease line that does not look overdone. Because men's skin is often thicker than women's, an incisional approach may be more effective, so the surgical method should be decided after carefully evaluating the skin condition before surgery.
Not really. The procedure is still performed using either a non-incisional or incisional method, depending on the skin condition. However, while a standard double eyelid line is typically designed at around 7 mm, a hidden double eyelid is usually set lower, at about 5 mm. Because the line sits lower, it becomes covered by the skin, making it look like a hidden crease or even a nearly creaseless eyelid.
Not necessarily. A lower crease line does not automatically loosen more easily than a higher one. In general, the best method depends on factors such as tissue type, skin thickness, and eyelid-opening strength. While a non-incisional procedure can loosen in some cases, SISUN Plastic Surgery uses secure 5-7 step knots so the chance of the crease loosening again is very low.
