Eye Surgery Helping 50-Somethings Invest in Their Futures

Two-hour procedure provides subtle enhancement for men nervous about cosmetic surgery.

Bruce W. Brewer, MD, FACS, a Garden City plastic surgeon specializing in eyelid surgery at Long Island Plastic Surgical Group in Garden City, is seeing a rise in the number of middle aged male patients interested in the procedure.

“What was once a social stigma is now becoming an investment for men hoping to continue operating within an increasingly image driven world," Dr. Brewer said. "The competitive nature of business has escalated to the point where middle aged patients are starting to feel that looking young is a reflection of their clout within a given industry.”

The level, shape and contour of men’s eyebrows and eyelids are different than women’s. Men have heavier facial muscles and thicker skin. Cosmetic eyelid surgery for men must be evaluated and performed in a very specific fashion, paying close attention to the specific needs of male patients. Dr. Brewer uses his own customized techniques to perform eyelid surgery on men in a manner that provides effective, natural looking, long-lasting results.

The two-hour procedure, which involves both the redistribution of fat and tightening of skin to both the upper lid and below the eye, provides subtle enhancement for men nervous about cosmetic surgery.
