Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
Brighter, More Defined Eyes Through Trusted Cosmetic Techniques
Double eyelid surgery—also known as blepharoplasty—is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures worldwide. It creates a natural-looking eyelid crease that enhances the size, shape, and symmetry of the eyes. This procedure is commonly chosen to achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

Financials
In Singapore, eyelid surgery — including both double eyelid procedures and droopy eyelid correction — is generally not covered by MediSave or private insurance when done for cosmetic purposes. However, if the procedure is medically necessary (such as for severe ptosis affecting vision), partial coverage may be considered. Always consult with your surgeon and financial advisor to understand the latest insurance guidelines and whether your case may qualify for exceptions.
If outside Singapore, coverage varies by insurance and country—provide your location for a tailored response.

FAQs About Eyelid Surgery
Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic or functional procedure that reshapes the eyelids. It can involve creating a double eyelid crease, removing excess skin or fat, and tightening muscles for a more youthful and alert appearance.
Ideal candidates include individuals with droopy upper eyelids, under-eye bags, or those seeking a defined double eyelid crease. Patients should be in good health, have realistic expectations, and be non-smokers.
There are two main types:
- Incisional: Suitable for thicker or sagging eyelids; creates a permanent crease.
- Non-incisional (suture method): Ideal for thin eyelids with minimal excess skin; less invasive with faster recovery.
The procedure is typically done under local anesthesia with minimal discomfort. Mild swelling or bruising may occur after surgery but is manageable with ice packs and medication.
Initial recovery takes 1–2 weeks, with most swelling and bruising subsiding within 7–10 days. Full results are visible in 1–2 months. Most patients return to work within a week.
For incisional surgery, scars are placed in the natural eyelid crease and fade over time. Non-incisional methods leave no visible scarring.
Results from incisional eyelid surgery are typically long-lasting or permanent. Non-incisional techniques may require revision if the sutures loosen over time.
Yes. Incisional blepharoplasty can effectively lift droopy lids and remove excess skin that causes hooding, improving both aesthetics and sometimes even vision.
As with any surgery, there are risks such as infection, asymmetry, scarring, or temporary dryness/irritation. Choosing an experienced surgeon minimizes these risks.
