Worried it'll look overdone, obvious, or just plain wrong...
Men's eyes need to look natural.
Sleepy-looking eyes (ptosis)
- Your eye-opening muscles are weak, so people always tell you that you look tired
- Without realizing it, you raise your forehead or eyebrows to open your eyes, which causes forehead wrinkles
Narrow, closed-in eyes (small eyes)
- Your eyes are short from side to side and show little of the iris, so they look closed in
- Little of the white of the eye shows, so your eyes never look open
Eyes buried in puffy lids (thick eyelids)
- Excess fat in the upper lids or thick skin makes your eyes look swollen
- Your eyelashes poke your eyes, causing reduced vision or watery eyes
Fierce-looking eyes (upturned outer corners)
- Your outer corners turn up, so people often ask if you're angry
- Your first impression comes across as strong and sharp, and you'd like a softer image
Mismatched eyes (asymmetry)
- Your eyes differ in size or line, so they look unbalanced
- Only one eye has a faint double eyelid, and you want both eyes to match
Men's eye surgery
An approach that's 180 degrees different from women's eye surgery
Copying women's eye surgery can easily leave a man looking overdone. Men need a custom design that takes thicker skin and eye-opening strength into account and reflects both gender and personal needs, whether that means a natural look no one will notice or a bright, defined one.
Women's eyes
A rounded, distinct double eyelid line
Preference for distinct creases, from in-line to out-line
Fold height of 7 to 10 mm
Feminine, natural-looking eyes
Glamorous eyes with a variety of double eyelid lines
Men's eyes
A long, hidden double eyelid that extends outward
Preference for a natural eye line
Fold height of 4 to 6 mm
Eyes with depth that look defined and open
Eyes that never look overdone or too much
Overdone or natural? It all comes down to a 0.1 mm line!
Check Point
Eye width and height
Sleepy, heavy-looking eyes → 80 to 90% of the iris visible
Open, defined eyes
Small eyes → the right width and height
Soft yet clear eyes
Check Point
To keep your eyes from looking out of place after surgery
- Brow bone (depth)
- We adjust the depth so a prominent brow bone doesn't make the eyes look heavy, completing a balanced eye shape
Nasal bridge (T-zone contour)
Eye surgery that takes into account the height of the nasal bridge, the space between the brows, and the distance between the eyes
Cheekbones (widening the eyes)
Eye width designed with the open space on your face in mind, so your face looks smaller
- Skin (thickness and texture)
- We consider how the skin spreads and how thick it is to create a natural, soft line
- Jaw (harmony with face shape)
- We match the eye shape to your jawline and the overall feel of your face
What matters in men's eye surgery is considering the jawline, skin, T-zone, and more, so the eyes don't look out of place on their own.
At DOY JUN Plastic Surgery, we design eyes that suit your face.

Which surgery do my eyes need?
Just because others are getting it doesn't mean you need it too. Make a complicated decision simple by comparing the eye surgeries at DOY JUN Plastic Surgery.
| Double eyelid surgery (line refinement) | Ptosis correction (eye-opening strength) | Canthoplasty (lengthening) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Goal | [Better shape] Tidies up loose skin to create a clean line | [Stronger function] Tightens the eye-opening muscle so more of the iris shows clearly | [More space] Opens up closed-in corners for a wider, more open eye |
| Problems it solves | Drooping eyelids, obstructed vision, eyelashes poking the eye | Sleepy eyes (ptosis), forehead wrinkles, a tired look | Closed-in epicanthal folds, short eyes, a fierce look |
| Recommended for | • Those whose sagging skin makes their eyes look heavy • Those whose eyelashes poke their eyes | • Those who are told they look sleepy • Those who open their eyes using their forehead | • Those whose eyes are short from side to side • Those whose upturned outer corners look fierce |
| Key point | “A hidden line that looks almost monolid” A clean, understated look that's never overdone | “Definition that doesn't look done” A sharp, smart gaze that isn't too much | “Open horizontal proportions” Less empty space, so the face looks smaller |
| Note | If your eye-opening strength is good, only double eyelid surgery is performed | If you have ptosis, ptosis correction is performed | - |
If only the shape (line) of the eye is fixed, you may still look sleepy, and with ptosis correction alone, the length of your eyes may fall short. Natural-looking eyes come from the right balance of shape (double eyelid), function (ptosis correction), and length (canthoplasty).
Key points of men's eye surgery at DOY JUN Plastic Surgery
Design that considers your whole face
We closely analyze your face shape, jawline, and overall look to create a natural design in which your eyes don't stand out on their own
Minimal scarring, fast recovery
Fine incisions and precise suturing ease worries about scarring, and less tissue damage helps you get back to daily life quickly.
Functional eye surgery
Strengthening the eye-opening muscles prevents forehead wrinkles and, at the same time, improves reduced vision and a blocked field of view caused by drooping eyelids.
Honest care
We don't recommend excessive canthoplasty or overdone lines. We perform only the surgery needed to improve your current eyes, keeping the burden on you low.
