The cosmetic surgery of the eyelids in men, also known as Male blepharoplasty, presents certain challenges with regard to the eyelids of women. In the case of women, the crease of the upper eyelid is approximately 9 mm from the lashes, while in men it is 7 or 8 mm. This makes the male eyelid fuller than that of women, and the shape of the platform between the lashes and the crease is less accentuated.
If the eyelid surgery in men were performed the same as with women, unwanted results would be obtained, ending a less manly appearance in the patient. The lower eyelids should not change their appearance or shape, and should maintain their contact with the cornea (that is, the colored part of the eye), because the result is not attractive when you see white under the eye (scleral show) .
Blepharoplasty without surgery for men
Non-surgical blepharoplasty is performed with laser technology from carbon dioxide. This is responsible for destroying the keratinocytes of the skin, which generates an instantaneous tightening of the skin, achieving an effect "lifting ”of eyelids without surgery.
According to the experience of Dr. Ricardo Hoogstra, removing skin from the upper eyelid generates in most patients a decrease in the eyebrows, creating a sad, tired and aged look. Eliminate excess Skin and scarring on the lower eyelids produces in many patients functional and unsightly deformations.
This is why, the Dr. Ricardo Hoogstra developed in 1995 a technique that rejuvenates the eyelids using laser technology without surgery, which does not leave scars and does not remove skin. This avoids the unnatural results and complications of conventional surgeries.

Eyelid lift without surgery, goodbye to scars
To treat lower eyelid pouches an incision is made in the conjunctiva, and on the other hand, that of the upper eyelids Through a small incision in the inner corner of the upper eyelid, it does not require suturing.
Blepharoplasty transconjunctival laser
Skin rejuvenation is performed with a Micro Fractional Carbon Dioxide Laser (Firexel) . This tool has a skin analyzer that allows us to adapt the parameter to each type of skin. Transconjunctival laser-assisted blepharoplasty does not dry out skin and avoids many of the unwanted effects seen with the conventional technique. This laser-assisted operation rejuvenates the eyelids, preserving normal anatomy and leaving a fresh, natural look and without surgical stigmas.
Ultrasound for skin tightening
Today we also use Ultrasound for tighten the skin of the eyelids and the rest of the face, neck and neckline. HIFU produces results that can be seen immediately after the procedure is performed without skin damage and without recovery time. But the most significant results occur as time passes, reaching its maximum effect 60 days after the procedure.
How does the carbon dioxide laser work in the eyelid lift ?.
The light energy of Firexel removes superficial layers of skin aged by sun damage and over the years. On the surface of the skin it eliminates spots, dark circles and wrinkles. In the depth of the tissue it produces a heating and stimulation of the elastic and collagen fibers, producing a tightening effect on the skin.
Carbon Dioxide Laser-assisted eyelid surgery requires a new type of operator training. Hoogstra Medical Centers offers refresher courses to national and foreign doctors who want to enter this field.
Ultrasound allows us the following advantages:
Leaves no scars.
Always natural result.
It does not damage muscle structures like the conventional technique does.
Ultrasound and Carbon Dioxide Laser rejuvenates all the skin on the eyelids.
Less edema.
Fewer bruises.
Quick reintegration into work.
It does not lower the eyebrow as the conventional technique does.
It improves the expression of the gaze.
Alternative procedures for the rejuvenation of the eye and its contour.
Sometimes, excess skin on the upper eyelid is the result of drooping eyebrows, in which case the indication could be the use of Botulinum toxin or a Endoscopic lift of the forehead, nose and eyebrows.
Local anesthesia
The intervention is performed with local anesthesia and sedation. The patient wakes up immediately after completing the procedure and retires to his home a few hours later. All interventions are performed with local anesthesia and sedation, which provides safety and comfort. Sedation is performed by the anesthesia manager at Hospital Fernández or another doctor on his team.
Duration of the intervention
The residence time in the Clinic is approximately 3 to 4 hours. The duration of procedure is approximately 30 minutes. Surgery and postoperative are not painful. This surgery, in addition to leaving no visible scars, produces fewer edema and bruising than traditional eyelid surgery. Patients traveling from the interior of the country or abroad must be the day before surgery and may return 48 or 72 hours after surgery. Patients from all over the world travel to Argentina to undergo surgery with Dr. Ricardo Hoogstra.
Postoperative eyelid surgery
You can resume normal activities the day after surgery.
You can resume physical activities, such as running or yoga, one week after surgery.
You can resume intense fitness activities such as weights or high-impact cardiovascular exercise 4 weeks after surgery.
Laser eyelid surgery price

2 weeks ago I had the opportunity to undergo surgery for the second time, I had a forehead lift-endoscopy and the first time was in 2019, it was a blepharoplasty, they removed the fat from my eyelids. Due to the pandemic, it was only possible for me to return this year. Dr. Hoogstra's way of working is incredible! You remain as if nothing had happened. It didn't hurt at all, I didn't take a single analgesic for the pain, I didn't have any pain and the recovery was very fast. It is worth traveling from the United States for the second time. Since the security of not taking any risks and of looking good is guaranteed. I tried to take a friend with me who wanted to have a face and neck lift and my friend didn't want to go, she went to Cancun Mexico, because it was cheaper for her. They left her with facial paralysis on the entire left side of her face. Dr. Hoogstra takes care of you and treats you as if you were his family. And his work team is fantastic. Very attentive girls. Josefina, Lucia, José Luis, thank you, even the lady who was bringing coffee to my husband. I do not remember his name . She is in charge of caring for the patients' families. And he helped me get dressed. Very grateful to all of you. A piece of advice to all people who want to have facial beautification. Please see him with a doctor who is highly trained. It is not easy to travel to Argentina from Texas, United States. But the effort is worth it since I put myself in the hands of an eminence in surgery Dr. Ricardo Hoogstra.🤗🤗🤗🤗

The skin of the eyelids is the finest in the body and one of the first in have wrinkles and furrows. When we communicate, we direct our gaze to the eyes of our interlocutor, which is why the expression of the gaze is so important.
In some people, your eyelids and eyebrows can give you the expression of tiredness, sadness and old age. There are others who generate the opposite.
My specialty is the eyelids, the position of the eyebrows and giving the patient a fresh, youthful, rested and natural appearance.
Dr. Hoogstra uses laser technology, ultrasound and since 1995 he does not require cutting the eyelids, and therefore, does not leave scars.
Patients from all over the world come to my center to perform these procedures. Now let's see what are the reasons why patients attend more frequently.
Rejuvenation of the eyelids with carbon dioxide laser.
Blepharoplasty without surgery is performed with carbon dioxide laser technology. This is responsible for destroying the keratinocytes of the skin, which generates a skin tightening instantly, achieving an effect ""lifting ”of eyelids without surgery.
According to the experience of Dr. Ricardo Hoogstra, removing skin from the upper eyelid generates in most patients a decrease in the eyebrows, creating a sad, tired and aged look.

It does not lower the eyebrow as the conventional technique does.
It improves the expression of the gaze.
Periorbital wrinkles, Crow's feet
Previous
Following
These wrinkles are produced by the contraction of the orbicularis muscle, which has the function of closing the eye.
In these cases we use botulinum toxin, with which I not only manage to reduce the wrinkle but also raise the tail of the eyebrows.
This provides a more rested and cheerful appearance.
Wrinkles
Over the years the thin skin of the eyelids loses elastin and collagen, this added to the sun damage, with the continuous gesticulation wrinkles begin to appear.
-Is it possible to improve the quality of the skin of the eyelids without having to resort to surgery?
-YES, absolutely YES.
It is impossible to rejuvenate all the skin on the eyelids, pulling out a thin strip of skin and leaving a scar.
This is absurd and the only thing it brings are complications of all kinds, unnatural results and deformations.
I use to rejuvenate the skin of the eyelids laser technology With this I rejuvenate the entire eyelid unit and if necessary I also reduce wrinkles on the rest of the face.
The results are natural and very long-lasting.

Following
What I am looking for is to attenuate wrinkles, eliminate periorbital furrows or crow's feet, raise the eyebrow a little if necessary and give volume to the cheekbones and tear canal.
By associating these procedures I achieve a young and expressive look which transmits a greater degree of energy and vitality.
Eye bags
He Dr. Ricardo Hoogstra He developed this treatment after verifying that many of the patients who consulted him for dark circles had a lack of volume in the cheekbone or in the area between the cheekbone and the nose, known as the tear canal.
The lack of volume of the cheekbone and / or the tear canal allows the skin of the eyelids to extend towards the cheeks, this increase in the length of the eyelid and its dark color increases dark circles.
The time of the procedure 5 minutes, painless, great satisfaction of the patient, who immediately continues his normal life.
Non-surgical rejuvenation Improving the expression of the look with botulinum toxin And the aesthetics of cheekbones, dark circles and attenuating bags with filling with Hyaluronic acid
You can check the aesthetic improvement of the cheekbones. The attenuation of dark circles. Quick and painless procedure Get on with your life immediately. Does not require post-treatment care

Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid operation, is a surgery that seeks to reverse the drooping of the eyelids and may involve removing excess skin, fat and muscle. The latter are usually the reason why the look acquires an aged and tired look.
Over time, the eyelids stretch and the muscles that support them lose firmness. This is why an excess of fat can accumulate in the upper and lower part of the eyelids, causing sagging eyebrows, drooping of the upper eyelids and bags in the lower part of the eyes.

The intervention is performed with local anesthesia and sedation. The patient wakes up immediately after completing the procedure and retires to his home a few hours later. All interventions are performed with local anesthesia and sedation, which provides safety and comfort. Sedation is performed by the anesthesia manager at Hospital Fernández or another doctor on his team.
Duration of the procedure
The residence time in the Clinic is approximately 3 to 4 hours. The duration of procedure is approximately 30 minutes. Surgery and postoperative are not painful. This surgery, in addition to leaving no visible scars, produces fewer edema and bruising than traditional eyelid surgery. Patients traveling from the interior of the country or from abroad must be the day before surgery and may return 48 or 72 hours after surgery. Patients from all over the world travel to Argentina to undergo surgery with Dr. Ricardo Hoogstra.
Postoperative blepharoplasty
Postoperative without pain. Some discomfort can be felt, both in the affected area and some conjunctivitis or dry eyes, but never pain.
Without scar. Laser blepharoplasty does not require sutures or dressings, so there is no scar and recovery is instantaneous.
Immediate results.You can resume normal activities the day after surgery. The definitive results of blepharoplasty are visible practically from the first moment, so that a few days after eyelid surgery the patient can check his new appearance and return to normal life as normal.

Clinical picture:
Depressed scars are due to loss of skin, subcutaneous tissue, and often muscle and bone.
These scars can be caused by accidents on public roads, acts of violence or as a result of surgery. It is common to see depressed scars after a cesarean section and / or surgical interventions for peritoneal pictures.
Fat has little defense against infectious processes and when an infection occurs there is a loss of this tissue. The depressed scar is produced by the replacement of the tissue in that area with connective scar tissue.
Treatment:
Although scars cannot be completely removed, our surgical experience and the laser technology we have will allow us to help you improve the aesthetic and functional appearance of your scar.

Alexandra Pedroza
2 weeks ago I had the opportunity to undergo surgery for the second time, I had a forehead lift-endoscopy and the first time was in 2019, it was a blepharoplasty, they removed the fat from my eyelids. Due to the pandemic, it was only possible for me to return this year. Dr. Hoogstra's way of working is incredible! You remain as if nothing had happened. It didn't hurt at all, I didn't take a single analgesic for the pain, I didn't have any pain and the recovery was very fast. It is worth traveling from the United States for the second time. Since the security of not taking any risks and of looking good is guaranteed. I tried to take a friend with me who wanted to have a face and neck lift and my friend didn't want to go, she went to Cancun Mexico, because it was cheaper for her. They left her with facial paralysis on the entire left side of her face. Dr. Hoogstra takes care of you and treats you as if you were his family. And his work team is fantastic. Very attentive girls. Josefina, Lucia, José Luis, thank you, even the lady who was bringing coffee to my husband. I do not remember his name . She is in charge of caring for the patients' families. And he helped me get dressed. Very grateful to all of you. A piece of advice to all people who want to have facial beautification. Please see him with a doctor who is highly trained. It is not easy to travel to Argentina from Texas, United States. But the effort is worth it since I put myself in the hands of an eminence in surgery Dr. Ricardo Hoogstra.🤗🤗🤗🤗

Dark circles are a complex condition influenced by various anatomical factors. Below are the main factors that contribute to its appearance:
Fat bags on the lower eyelid.
Malar fat volume loss due to aging or genetic factors.
Lower eyelid lengthening, caused by aging or lack of volume in the malar region.
Groove or tear canal, produced by aging or constitutional predisposition.
Skin factors, related to the texture, color and wrinkles of the skin.
Most patients with dark circles have a lack of volume in the malar region. To effectively correct dark circles, it is essential to restore lost volume in this area.
Aesthetic Impact of Dark Circles
Dark circles make the face less attractive, giving an appearance of tiredness and sadness. They are often believed to be difficult to treat, but each case can be addressed with specialized and personalized treatment.
Treatment with Hyaluronic Acid
Fillers with hyaluronic acid, when applied correctly, offer an immediate improvement, not only in dark circles, but also in the aesthetics of the eyelid and cheekbone. This treatment attenuates eyelid bags and the tear canal, significantly improving facial appearance.
Study cases
Patient 1
This patient had bags in her lower eyelid, which were removed through a transconjunctival incision, a procedure that leaves no visible scars. To improve the appearance of the skin, a carbon dioxide laser was used to lighten and tighten the skin. Additionally, volume was added to the malar region with hyaluronic acid. All of this was done in less than 30 minutes under local anesthesia and sedation.
Process:
Removal of bags from the lower eyelid through transconjunctival incision.
In this case study, the same procedure that had previously been performed on another patient was performed on Patient 2. This treatment focuses on the correction of certain facial features to improve aesthetic appearance, focusing primarily on the vertical linea nigra that extends from the tarsal edge to the palpebromalar junction.
Preoperative and Postoperative Observations
PHOTO 2-A
Preoperative:
The vertical black line runs from the tarsal edge to the palpebromalar junction.
This line is long, which is considered unsightly because it gives the appearance of a long eyelid occupying the malar region.
Postoperative:
The black line is shorter.
The eyelid is shorter, which is a sign of beauty and youth.
PHOTO 2-B
Preoperative:
In the photo on the left, you can see the lack of projection of the cheekbone and a lower eyelid that extends and occupies the malar region.
Postoperative:
In the photo on the right, you can see a projection of the cheekbone and a shortening of the lower eyelid.
The patient acquired a natural beauty.
PHOTO 2-C
Preoperative:
An oval is drawn that extends from the eyebrows to the palpebromalar junction.
In the photo on the left, the oval is vertical, which is an unsightly sign.
Postoperative:
In the photo on the right, you can see a horizontal oval.
A natural projection of the cheekbone is observed, absence of bags in the lower eyelid and no visible scars.
There is a projection of the cheekbone and a shortening of the lower eyelid.
All of this represents natural beauty, youth and a fresh, rested expression.
Patient 3
This patient had dark circles under her eyes due to aging, with eyelid bags and wrinkles, as well as a lack of volume in the malar region. An advanced eyelid surgery technique was performed without visible scars, combined with carbon dioxide laser facial rejuvenation and malar volume augmentation.
Process:
Eyelid surgery without visible scars (Hoogstra technique).
Facial rejuvenation with carbon dioxide laser.
Increase and projection of the malar.
Result:
Elimination of bags and eyelid wrinkles.
Significant improvement in malar volume.
Rejuvenated appearance without visible scars.
This technique was published in the International Society of Plastic Surgeon in 2017, being internationally recognized as an advance in eyelid surgery.
Patient 4
PHOTO A
Clinical features:
Fatty bags in the lower eyelid.
Long lower eyelid.
Lack of projection and volume of the cheekbone.
Tear channel.
It does not present wrinkles or skin aging.
Patient Preferences:
You do not want to treat the lower eyelid bags at this time.
Treatment Performed
Procedure:
Application of two ampoules of hyaluronic acid, one on each cheekbone.
Immediate Results Observed:
Attenuation of the bags of the lower eyelid due to the increase in volume in the cheekbone, which reduces the protrusion of the bags.
Disappearance of the tear canal.
Significant improvement in the aesthetics of the cheekbone.
Shortening of the palpebromalar distance.
Professional Comments:
The treatment is considered almost magical because it is painless, fast, outpatient, with natural results and without adverse effects.
The result could be improved with one more ampoule of hyaluronic acid, but it is preferred to advance slowly and allow the patient to decide about increasing volume.
Avoid treating patients who desire excessive volume that may result in an unnatural appearance.
Duration and Additional Benefits:
The filling must be repeated every 20 months, although sometimes it lasts longer.
Hyaluronic acid not only provides volume, but also hydrates and stimulates collagen, which can reduce the amount needed over time.
Treatment Reversibility:
If the result is not satisfactory, hyaluronidase can be applied to degrade the material.
Until now, it has not been necessary to use this enzyme in patients treated at this center.
PHOTO B
Patient Presentation
Clinical features:
Depression that extends from the inner corner of the eye to the cheek, known as the tear groove or trough.
Triangular-shaped lower eyelid whose tip goes into the sulcus.
Long eyelid, “rained” and tucked into the cheek.
Lack of cheekbone projection, probably hereditary.
Aesthetic Effects:
Appearance of sadness, tiredness and old age due to the aforementioned factors.
PHOTO C
Procedure:
Application of a filler ampoule.
Immediate Results Observed:
Improved aesthetics of the cheekbone.
Disappearance of the tear canal.
Shortening of the eyelid; the palpebromalar junction is closer to the eye than the cheek.
Attenuation of lower eyelid bags.
Professional Comments:
Patients are fascinated by the speed, the immediate result, the naturalness, the absence of bruising and the indolence of the treatment.
Sometimes more than one or two syringes are needed to obtain the desired result. You start with a smaller amount and evaluate if more volume is necessary in a subsequent session.
Complementary Treatment:
Helios depigmentation laser: It attenuates skin color and treats blemishes, in addition to stimulating collagen and improving the appearance of the skin. A minimum of 6 sessions is recommended, one every 15 days or one per month. For more information on dark spot treatment, Click here.

[:in]One of the most effective, immediate and lasting results for the treatment of dark circles is the filling of the cheekbones and tear canal.
Dark circles removal solution
The Dr. Ricardo Hoogstra development this treatment after proving that many of the patients who had dark circles consulted by lack of volume cheekbone or between the cheekbone and nose, known as the tear channel area.
The lack of volume of the cheekbone and / or the tear canal allows the skin of the eyelids to extend to the cheeks, this increase in the length of the eyelid and its dark color increases the dark circles.
The time of completion of the procedure 5 minutes, painless, great patient satisfaction, which immediately continues its normal life.
Causes
According to the histopathological studies, this alteration of the coloration of the skin of the eyes is due in most cases to an excessive production of melanin and to the dilation of the capillaries near the surface of the skin.
These alterations usually follow the anatomy of the orbicularis muscle of the eyes surrounding the orbit. We receive many young patients who report a great aesthetic concern about the dark color of their eyes. The color of the eyelids and the anatomical characteristics of the orbit gives these patients an aspect of tiredness, sadness and old age, despite the fact that most of them are very young.
Triggers
Hereditary dark circles, family history: dark circles have a genetic predisposition.
Dark circles produced by repeated episodes of irritation.
Dark circles in patients with diseases such as hyperthyroidism, heart, kidney, etc.
Dark circles due to skin aging: excessive exposure to the sun increases the melanin of the eyelids.
Dark circles produced by light effect in patients with prominent malar bones.
Hormonal changes: they also influence the color of the skin of the eyelids, this is how dark circles are accentuated days before or during the menstrual period and during pregnancy.
Dark circles characteristics
The color of the dark circles can be brown, violet or black.
The brown and black color occurs mainly in patients with dark skin, while the violet color in patients with light skin.
Dark circles can be presented as a single entity in very young patients or associated with fine wrinkles, deep grooves or skin festoons. At the same time it can occur without excess of eyelid bags or with protrusion of them.
How to know which is the most appropriate treatment for you?
We have verified that the majority of patients suffering from dark circles have a lack of development of the malar bone, especially in its part closest to the nose. Until a while ago the correction of this anatomical situation was difficult given that we had to resort to surgery with prosthesis placement.
Melanin Deposit
Today, thanks to the development of heavy chain hyaluronic acids such as Voluma, we can provide a very fast, very effective and satisfactory solution for the patient. The cheekbone filling procedure with Voluma takes 5 minutes , is painless and the patient can immediately check the result. The interesting thing about this treatment is that it not only improves the color of the eyecup, it also improves the overall aesthetic appearance of the patient.
Other treatments that we perform to improve the dark color of dark circles are with the Helios II depigmenting laser. This is done monthly or biweekly, does not cause irritation of the treated skin and you can continue immediately with your activity. From the third session you can see an improvement in skin color, texture and tonism.
The Laser Helios is completely painless, has no adverse effects, lightens skin color and removes dark spots. For more information, we invite you to visit dark spots on the skin .
If you are looking for a quick and effective result, the recommended treatment is peeling with the Fire-Xel carbon dioxide laser.
The Carbon Dioxide Laser is used in patients who have dark circles and wrinkles. For more information on this procedure we invite you to visit Peeling with Carbon Dioxide Laser .
As we see in this histopathological study, the melanocytes responsible for the dark color of the eyelid skin are located in the dermal epidermal junction.
How does the Carbon Dioxide Laser work?
The Fire-Xel carbon dioxide laser in addition to having a skin analyzer allows us to choose the depth of the ablation. For young patients, without wrinkles and in which there is only dark pigmentation of the eyelid skin, we use a 600 micron piece that allows us to exfoliate to the basement membrane.
The most compact and strongest tone tissue below the basement membrane is the thermal collagenizing effect at the dermal level .
This biopsy clearly shows how ablation occurs only in the most superficial layer of the skin, more specifically at the basement membrane level. These patients will have a very fast recovery because the thermal effect is superficial and the result will be excellent and lasting.
For those patients who in addition to the dark color have excess skin of the eyelids, the laser must be used with the 300 micron piece with which we can reach the deep collagen and contract the skin. The tensor effect on the skin increases as the months go by and lasts for many years.
