Male blepharoplasty
Male blepharoplasty is one of the most requested procedures among men who want to remove under-eye bags or drooping eyelids. This blepharoplasty enhances the eyes and rejuvenates facial expression without compromising the natural look or masculine features.
At Face Clinic, our plastic and maxillofacial surgeons perform a droopy-eyelid operation and lower-lid bag correction (blepharoplasty) in a fully personalised way, tailored to each man’s anatomy and facial characteristics to achieve a harmonious, natural and long-lasting result.
What is male blepharoplasty?
Male blepharoplasty—also known as eyelid surgery for men—removes excess skin, fat or muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids. The goal is to achieve younger-looking, rested and confident eyes while preserving the eye shape and the naturally masculine expression.
Unlike female blepharoplasty, the male approach aims to maintain strong, well-defined features that reflect male bone structure, avoiding an overly rounded or softened appearance.
Why consider blepharoplasty?
Ageing, stress and poor sleep can make the eyelid skin lose firmness, creating bags and folds. In many men, these signs lead to a permanently tired look.
- Remove under-eye bags and reduce the tired appearance.
- Correct drooping eyelids that age the eyes.
- Improve overall facial symmetry and expression.
- In some cases, also enhance the upper visual field.

Types of blepharoplasty for men
- Upper blepharoplasty: removes excess skin and fat from the upper lids. Indicated when the lids droop or create a tired look.
- Lower blepharoplasty: treats fat pads under the eyes, softening dark circles and grooves.
Depending on your needs, a complete blepharoplasty (upper and lower) may be performed to rejuvenate the whole eye area.
How is male blepharoplasty performed?
At Face Clinic, the procedure is carried out under local anaesthesia with sedation and typically takes 60–90 minutes. It is an outpatient surgery, so you can go home the same day.
- For upper lids, the incision is hidden in the natural crease, leaving the scar virtually invisible.
- For lower lids, the incision can be made just below the lashes or inside the eyelid (transconjunctival technique), leaving no visible marks.
Thanks to advanced microsurgical techniques, results are precise and natural with minimal visible scarring. If you are exploring other options within plastic surgery, our team can advise you on complementary procedures where appropriate.
Recovery and results
Recovery after male blepharoplasty is usually straightforward. Mild swelling or bruising may appear over the first few days and gradually fades. Stitches are removed between day five and seven; most men return to their routine within about a week.
Final results are visible from the third week and typically last 8–10 years, depending on skin type and lifestyle.
