I'm a man with monolid eyes that are small and look sleepy, which has been stressful for me. So I did a lot of research on men's double eyelid surgery and monolid burial reviews.
I didn't like dark double eyelid lines or greasy-looking results, so I wanted a direction where it would look as much like monolid as possible while only making the eye shape sharper.
During the consultation, I mentioned that I hoped the double eyelid line wouldn't be too visible on the outside, and the doctor said that even with my eyelid condition, it should be fine to set it low with burial. I was worried about whether I needed eye correction surgery as well, but they didn't push it excessively and only explained the necessary parts, which actually gave me confidence.
In the early stages after surgery, there was some swelling so the double eyelid line was slightly visible, but over time it came down naturally, almost like an inner double eyelid. The heavy feeling when opening my eyes decreased and my eye shape became clearer, but my overall impression didn't change much, so I'm satisfied.
Even when meeting people for the first time, they don't notice I had surgery unless I mention it first—I just hear that I look handsome.
For men considering monolid burial, rather than setting the line high, it seems important to set it at a natural height that matches your own eyes.
