Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Upper and lower eyelid surgery performed by plastic surgeon Dr Karen Sng to address hooded lids, under-eye bags, and tired appearance — creating brighter, more alert eyes.

Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) is one of the most commonly requested procedures at Dr Karen Sng's practice. Upper eyelid surgery removes excess skin and, where present, herniated fat that causes a hooded or heavy appearance, improving both aesthetics and in some cases peripheral vision. Lower eyelid surgery addresses under-eye bags and skin laxity for a more rested, youthful look. Dr Sng is well-suited to perform eyelid surgery on Asian patients, taking into account the specific anatomical considerations of the Asian eyelid — including the presence or absence of a natural supratarsal crease — to achieve natural-looking results that are harmonious with the patient's facial features. She offers both incisional (for more significant redundancy) and non-incisional (suture) double eyelid techniques, selected based on anatomy and desired outcome. Recovery typically involves bruising and swelling for one to two weeks, with most patients returning to social activities within ten to fourteen days. Dr Sng provides thorough post-operative care instructions and follow-up appointments to monitor healing.
