Eyelid & Brow Surgery

Surgical correction of droopy eyelids, eyebag removal, double eyelid creation, brow lift, and ptosis repair. Performed as day surgery under local anaesthesia with or without sedation.

The Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery Clinic offers a comprehensive range of periorbital surgical procedures tailored to aesthetic and functional goals. Double eyelid surgery creates or refines an upper eyelid crease — a common request among patients of Asian heritage — with crease shape (parallel or tapered) customised to suit individual anatomy and desired outcome. Ptosis correction addresses droopy upper eyelids caused by a detached or weakened levator aponeurosis; the surgery advances or resects the levator muscle to lift the eyelid, restore the visual field, and improve symmetry. Brow lift options include endoscopic or direct temple-approach brow elevation for descended brows, and sub-brow skin excision for patients seeking a more conservative lift with reduced bruising compared to conventional blepharoplasty. Lower eyelid treatment addresses under-eye bags (fat prolapse), tear trough hollowing, and dark circles through fat removal, fat grafting, or filler injection depending on the underlying anatomy. All procedures are performed as day surgery at Gleneagles Medical Centre under local anaesthesia with optional sedation. Sutures are removed at day 5–7; approximately 80% of swelling resolves within two weeks, with full results apparent by 4–6 weeks. The clinic's surgeons have extensive experience managing the unique anatomical considerations of Asian eyes, as well as more complex ptosis and brow cases.
