Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Upper and lower eyelid surgery by specialist plastic surgeon Dr Evan Woo at Novena, including double eyelid creation, excess skin removal, and ptosis correction for aesthetic and functional improvement.

Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) at Evan Woo Plastic Surgery is performed by Dr Evan Woo, a plastic surgeon with FAMS accreditation and broad reconstructive and aesthetic surgical experience. Upper blepharoplasty removes redundant skin and orbital fat from the upper eyelid, restoring a more youthful and refreshed appearance while improving visual field in cases where hooded skin obstructs peripheral vision. In Asian patients, the procedure is frequently combined with the creation of a double eyelid (supratarsal) crease — either via incisional or suture (non-incisional) technique — to produce a natural-looking fold suited to the patient's facial proportions. Lower blepharoplasty addresses under-eye bags caused by herniated orbital fat and excess skin laxity, typically via a transconjunctival or transcutaneous approach. Ptosis correction — repair of a drooping upper eyelid caused by levator muscle weakness — may be addressed concurrently where clinically indicated. As a plastic surgeon rather than an oculoplastic subspecialist, Dr Woo approaches eyelid surgery as part of a broader facial aesthetic programme, and can incorporate it within a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation plan if desired. All procedures are carried out under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia in a licensed operating facility. Consultation covers goal-setting, anatomical assessment, incision placement, and recovery expectations.
