As men age, their eyelid skin may begin to sag, making them look tired or older than they feel. In some people, eyelid skin may even obstruct vision. Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, can give the eyes a more rested and youthful appearance by removing or redistributing excess fat, muscle, and skin. Dr. Kai Morimoto offers eyelid surgery for men in Coeur d’Alene to help patients look more refreshed and alert. If you are a male considering plastic surgery, speak with our team to learn more about our offerings.
With age, the thin skin near the eyes becomes less elastic, causing the upper eyelids to sag and the lower lids to swell. Some men feel that the change makes them appear more fatigued or older than they feel. Others have trouble with their vision because of the sagging skin.
Sagging eyelids are not only a cosmetic problem, but they also create functional issues. When there is too much skin on the eyelid, it can become difficult to do even routine tasks such as reading or driving. Blepharoplasty for men in Coeur d’Alene is an easy and quick solution to these issues, enabling patients to appear youthful and lively.
Dr. Morimoto performs eyelid surgery in a surgical suite under conscious sedation so male patients in Coeur d’Alene feel comfortable during surgery. Depending on the patient’s needs, the procedure may involve removing excess skin, tightening muscles underneath, or repositioning fat to remove puffiness and achieve a smoother and more youthful appearance.
In the upper lids, the tiny incisions are placed in the natural fold so that, once healed, they are virtually invisible. In the lower lids, the incisions are usually placed just below the lash line or inside the eyelid. The entire procedure takes only a few hours, and the patient can be sent home the same day.
During the procedure, Dr. Morimoto carefully contours the eyelid region to ensure a natural, harmonious appearance. This is particularly important for men who still want to maintain a masculine appearance. The goal is to appear rejuvenated but not too done or “worked-on.”
Men in Coeur d’Alene with good overall health who want to improve the appearance of puffy or droopy eyelids may be good candidates for eyelid surgery. Ideal candidates are men who:
During your consultation, Dr. Morimoto will evaluate your concerns and discuss whether eyelid surgery is the best option for you. She will also review your medical history to see if there are any issues that would affect healing or results.
After male eyelid surgery in Coeur d’Alene, patients will need to rest and allow their bodies to heal. Swelling and bruising are to be expected over the first few days, but these effects gradually fade away. Most men can return to normal day-to-day activities within a week and more vigorous activities after a few weeks.
Proper aftercare is required in order to achieve the best results. Patients are required to follow Dr. Morimoto’s post-operative instructions, which may include head elevation, cold compresses, and avoiding strenuous activity until cleared by her. Follow-up appointments will allow Dr. Morimoto to monitor the healing process and achieve optimal results.
Selecting the right surgeon is essential to achieving the best results. Dr. Kai Morimoto and her team provide personalized and professional care to ensure each patient feels comfortable and informed throughout the process. With years of experience doing eyelid surgery, Dr. Morimoto knows the unique considerations that male patients have and treats each procedure with a personalized touch.
