Abstract
Aims and Background
Blepharoplasty is among the fastest-growing aesthetic procedures in male patients,
reflecting shifting cultural norms and increasing demand for facial rejuvenation that
preserves masculine features. This review outlines the anatomical and aging patterns
specific to the male periorbital region and discusses contemporary surgical techniques
tailored to this population.
Anatomy
The gender-specific anatomical differences in the periorbital region influence both
surgical planning and outcomes are highlighted.
Male Periorbital Aging Patterns
Aging in men involves distinct patterns that must be addressed to preserve masculine
facial identity.
Surgical Techniques
Surgical strategies emphasize conservative tissue excision, preservation of eyelid
fullness, and avoidance of feminizing features.
Complications
Men are predisposed to complications like lower lid malposition, visible scarring,
and wound dehiscence due to anatomical factors and skin characteristics. Overcorrection
may lead to feminization, necessitating a conservative surgical philosophy and meticulous
technique.
Conclusion
A deep understanding of sex-specific anatomy and aging, coupled with meticulous surgical
technique, is essential for achieving natural, harmonious outcomes that align with
the male aesthetic ideal.
