Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Double eyelid creation, eyebag removal, ptosis correction, epicanthoplasty, and canthoplasty performed by MOH-accredited plastic surgeon Dr Colin Tham at his Orchard Road clinic.

Colin Tham Plastic Surgery offers a full range of surgical eyelid procedures, from the widely sought double eyelid creation to functional ptosis correction and lower eyelid rejuvenation. Dr Colin Tham's eyelid surgery expertise spans both aesthetic and reconstructive indications, reflecting his training as a formally accredited plastic surgeon rather than a dermatologist or ophthalmologist — an important distinction for complex or revision eyelid cases. Double eyelid surgery (upper blepharoplasty) is one of the most commonly performed procedures in Singapore, and Dr Tham offers both incisional and suture techniques depending on the patient's anatomy, eyelid structure, skin quality, and desired crease height. The incisional method allows simultaneous removal of excess skin or fat and produces a permanent crease with a natural-looking contour. For eyebag correction, lower blepharoplasty removes or repositions prolapsed fat pads and addresses excess skin to eliminate the tired appearance caused by under-eye bags and hollows. Ptosis surgery corrects drooping upper eyelids caused by weakened levator muscle function — a condition that can impair vision as well as aesthetics. Additional procedures include epicanthoplasty (modifying the inner corner of the eye to enlarge the eye's appearance), canthoplasty (reshaping the outer corner), and combined eye-opening surgery. Dr Tham conducts thorough pre-operative assessments including visual field assessment where relevant, and all procedures are performed under local anaesthesia with or without sedation depending on patient preference and the extent of surgery.
