Male Eyelid Surgery
The eyes do a lot of the talking — and when they look heavy, droopy, or tired, they can make the whole face appear older and less energetic than a man feels. Excess skin and puffiness around the eyes are among the first signs of aging to show. Male eyelid surgery refreshes this area while preserving a strong, masculine appearance. Dr. Erez Dayan performs male eyelid surgery at Avance Plastic Surgery Institute in Reno/Tahoe, NV.
Eyelid surgery on men calls for a different aesthetic than on women — the goal is a rested, alert look that stays distinctly masculine, never feminized or overdone — and that judgment is where Dr. Erez Dayan excels. Voted Best Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon in Nevada, he completed the Harvard Plastic Surgery Program, serving as Chief Resident at Massachusetts General Hospital, before an elite aesthetic fellowship at the Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute, where he was one of only two surgeons selected. A board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon and Medical Director of Avance Plastic Surgery Institute, Dr. Dayan brings precise, conservative technique to the delicate eye area. Male eyelid surgery is one of the practice’s male plastic surgery procedures.
What Male Eyelid Surgery Corrects
Male eyelid surgery, also called blepharoplasty, removes excess skin from the upper and lower eyelids while maintaining a masculine appearance. Droopy or puffy eyelids can make a man look as though the spark has gone from his eyes, and blepharoplasty restores a more youthful, energetic, and balanced look. It can address wrinkles under and around the eyes, excess surrounding skin, deep under-eye bags or pockets, ptosis (droopy eyelids), and other concerns caused by skin laxity. Blepharoplasty is the number one male cosmetic surgery performed today.
“With men, eyelid surgery is all about restraint — opening up the eyes and clearing the tired, heavy look while keeping the brow and lids strong and masculine. Done right, people see an energetic version of you, not a ‘done’ one.” — Dr. Erez Dayan
Blepharoplasty for Men in Reno/Tahoe
Male blepharoplasty is generally performed under general anesthesia and takes about an hour to complete. You’ll return home the same day with detailed aftercare instructions for your recovery and comfort, and recovery is typically complete, with swelling resolved, in about five to seven days. Dr. Dayan follows up to confirm your recovery is on track and that you’re pleased with your results.

Male eyelid surgery can correct wrinkles around the eyes, excess eyelid skin, deep under-eye bags, droopy eyelids (ptosis), and other issues caused by skin laxity.
