Ajibade, MD, Ph.D., MPH, draws on advanced training in biological sciences, general surgery, and plastic surgery, along with an evidence-based approach to personalized care. For men considering blepharoplasty, the next step is clarifying which concerns are being addressed and what a tailored plan can realistically achieve.
Why Men Are Talking About Eyelid Surgery
In Houston, TX, more men are choosing cosmetic procedures that deliver noticeable improvement without calling attention to the treatment itself. Eyelid changes can affect how you look in photos, on video calls, and during everyday conversations. Addressing the eye area often creates an overall refreshed appearance without changing other facial features.
What Eyelid Surgery Can Improve
Eyelid surgery, also called blepharoplasty, is designed to reduce excess skin and puffiness and refine the contours around the eyes. Treatment can focus on the upper lids, lower lids, or both, depending on your concerns.
Common concerns include:
- Drooping upper eyelids that create a hooded look
- Puffiness or bags under the eyes
- A tired or angry appearance, even when you feel fine
- Deep shadows beneath the eyes caused by changes in fat and skin
Male Aesthetic Goals And Natural Results
A common worry is that the surgery will make you look too different. Male blepharoplasty typically aims for a rested look rather than a dramatic change. Incisions are usually placed in discreet locations, such as the natural upper eyelid crease or along the lower lid line, and, in some cases, inside the lower eyelid—helping scars remain subtle as healing progresses.
Recovery Timeline And What To Expect
Most patients experience temporary swelling or bruising at first, followed by steady improvement in the weeks ahead. Specific downtime depends on the extent of eyelid surgery and individual healing patterns.
Typical recovery considerations:
- Early swelling and bruising that gradually fades
- Short-term activity limits to support healing
- Follow-up visits to track progress and results
Are You A Good Candidate?
Eyelid surgery may be worth exploring if upper lid heaviness, under-eye bags, or persistent tired-looking eyes affect confidence. Candidacy depends on health history, eyelid anatomy, and expectations. If drooping lids interfere with peripheral vision, that should be discussed during evaluation.
