Male vs. female eyelid and facial rejuvenation procedures require very different surgical approaches.
Dr. Kusuma recently performed similar procedures on two unrelated patients, one male and one female, highlighting the nuanced differences in technique and aesthetic goals between genders.
For male patients:
• The sharpening of the outer eye corners is kept more subtle
• Upper eyelid skin and muscle removal is more conservative
• Procedures are often more functional than cosmetic in nature
• Male patients also tend to be older on average at the time of surgery
For female patients:
• Brow elevation is often used to help create a sharper, lifted outer eye appearance
• Lower eyelid surgery is more commonly performed at the same time
• The overall aesthetic goal is typically softer, brighter, and more lifted
Every face and every procedure is customized to the individual. Swipe to see the differences between the male and female surgical approaches.
