His proven expertise in male monolid ptosis correction means you can trust him with your procedure.
First, if you're unsure whether you're a candidate for surgery, please refer to the checklist below.
If you fall into any of the following categories, you are a candidate for male monolid ptosis correction!
- If you desire a masculine and refreshing eye shape.
- If you are concerned about eyes that look drowsy and constricted.
- If you wish to improve an impression that seems fierce or strong.
- If you use your eyebrows and forehead muscles when opening your eyes.
- If you want to create a softer and more likable impression.

Unlike female double eyelid surgery, male monolid ptosis correction creates a more refreshing and clean image by keeping the double eyelid fold low, resulting in a subtle, inner double eyelid.
Dr. Choi Dong-il of Gangnam Seoyeon Plastic Surgery has a deep understanding of the anatomical structure of the male face.
Through precise individual diagnosis and meticulous checks, he performs surgery to create a line that is masculine yet best suits the patient's natural image.

Male monolid ptosis correction surgery is divided into incisional and non-incisional methods.
Since many men have thick skin, double eyelids often tend to loosen, so the incisional method is primarily used.
Occasionally, if a canthoplasty (epicanthoplasty or lateral canthoplasty) is needed, it may be performed concurrently.

A quick note here!
‘Incision’ has a different meaning from ‘excision’.
Male monolid ptosis correction is performed by creating a low double eyelid fold, making it appear as an inner double eyelid.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is a candidate for men's monolid ptosis correction surgery?
Candidates are those who desire a masculine and refreshed eye shape, or those concerned about sleepy or stuffy-looking eyes. It also applies to individuals who wish to improve a fierce or strong impression, those who use their eyebrows and forehead muscles when opening their eyes, and those who want to create a softer and more likable impression.
How is men's monolid ptosis correction different from women's double eyelid surgery?
It is performed by creating a low double eyelid fold, making it appear like an inner double eyelid. Unlike women's double eyelid surgery, the line is not high, which allows for a cool, clean, and masculine image.
Which method should I choose between incisional and non-incisional?
Most men primarily undergo surgery using the incisional method. This is because men often have thicker skin, which can cause double eyelids to loosen easily, and in some cases, can be combined with canthoplasty. The decision is made after a precise diagnosis based on the individual's eye condition.
What is the experience of Director Choi Dong-il of Gangnam Seoyeon Plastic Surgery?
He is a plastic surgery specialist with over 20 years of experience. In 2018, he published the world's first SCI-level paper on men's monolid ptosis correction, proving his safe and accurate surgical skills, and performs surgery based on an understanding of the anatomical structure of the male face.
Are 'incision' and 'excision' the same meaning?
No, 'incision' and 'excision' have different meanings. Men's monolid ptosis correction, even when performed using the incisional method, is done in a way that creates a low double eyelid fold, making it appear as if there is no visible double eyelid.
