Men's surgery
Men's eye surgery
Men's eyes call for a low, understated crease. Epic designs a line that exposes more of the iris while keeping a masculine look, using either incision or non-incision methods according to the thicker skin and different bone structure of male patients.
Who it suits
- Want brighter eyes without an obvious surgical look
- Sleepy or stern-looking eyes
- Need to return to work quickly and discreetly
Technique highlights
- Crease set lower than for women, for a natural look
- Accounts for thicker male skin and bone structure
- Incision or non-incision options
Surgical steps
- One-to-one consultation and facial analysis with the specialist surgeon before an individual plan is drawn up.
- Anaesthesia: local or sleep sedation. The procedure itself takes 15-40 minutes.
- The board-certified plastic surgeon performs the operation personally throughout.
- Recovery is monitored on site and you go home the same day — no inpatient stay.
Recovery & aftercare
- Sutures and dressings: sutures out in 5-7 days, none for non-incision.
- Follow-up visits: 1 visit.
- Back to daily life in 5-7 days. Cold compresses for the first 2-3 days and sleeping with the head elevated reduce swelling.
Risks & things to consider
- Results depend on each patient's anatomy, skin condition and aftercare, so identical outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
- Stop smoking, alcohol and blood-thinning medication before and after surgery as instructed by your doctor.
- Disclose all previous surgery, medical conditions and drug allergies at the consultation.
