Unlike in the past, when a refined, strong impression was seen as the standard for a masculine appearance, many male actors with delicate, attractive looks comparable to women now frequently appear on both the big screen and television. As men’s standards of beauty continue to change, men are becoming just as interested in their appearance as women.

As a result, men are paying much more attention than before to grooming and improving their appearance, and inquiries about male plastic surgery are also increasing. One of the areas men are most curious about is rhinoplasty. Because the nose is located at the center of the face and has a major influence on one’s overall impression, many men are interested in nose surgery. Male rhinoplasty has characteristics that differ from rhinoplasty for women.

While a slightly upturned, curved nose line is often considered ideal for women’s rhinoplasty, for men, a straight nasal line often gives a masculine impression and blends naturally with the facial contours. Since an excessively raised nasal tip can look unnatural, men generally prefer an appropriate height that considers overall facial proportions, focusing on refining low noses, hooked noses, and blunt nasal tips into a sophisticated and favorable image.

Eye surgery, especially double-eyelid surgery for men, is also common. There are many revision inquiries after double-eyelid surgery due to somewhat excessive correction, because unlike women, who may use makeup to make the eyes appear larger, men can look overly intense or heavy if the double-eyelid line is too thick. A subtle, natural double-eyelid line is the key to male eye surgery.

Dr. Hwang Ho, director of Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery, explained, “Plastic surgery for men has a somewhat different style from that for women. In particular, male eye surgery focuses on creating ideal eyes without an overly heavy or greasy impression, using methods different from female eye surgery,” adding, “Satisfaction is higher when the design is tailored to the shape that suits each individual face.”

He added, “Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery, where medicine and art meet in pursuit of true beauty, has a systematic approach based on a high-level medical system, many years of surgical experience and know-how, and one-on-one customized plastic surgery. All procedures and surgeries are performed directly by the operating surgeon, without substitute doctors, and we put patient safety and surgical results first while working to raise satisfaction.”
