Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty & Ptosis Correction)

Eyelid surgery by specialist plastic surgeon Dr Andrew Tay covering upper and lower blepharoplasty, double eyelid creation, and ptosis correction for functional and aesthetic improvement.

The Plastic Surgery Practice offers a comprehensive range of eyelid procedures performed by Dr Andrew Tay, a specialist plastic surgeon with over two decades of surgical experience in both aesthetic and reconstructive periorbital work. Upper blepharoplasty removes excess skin and fat from the upper eyelid to address hooding and restore a more open, refreshed appearance — one of the most frequently requested procedures in Singapore. Lower blepharoplasty targets under-eye bags and hollowing, using either a transconjunctival approach (no external scar) or a subciliary incision for patients with significant skin excess. Double eyelid surgery (Asian blepharoplasty) creates a defined supratarsal crease for patients with monolid anatomy; Dr Tay offers both the incisional method — permanent and suitable for all skin thicknesses — and the non-incisional buried suture technique for patients with minimal skin excess and seeking faster recovery. Ptosis correction addresses drooping of the upper eyelid caused by levator muscle aponeurosis dehiscence or weakness; this functional condition can impair the visual field and is surgically corrected by tightening or reattaching the levator. As a reconstructive-trained plastic surgeon, Dr Tay approaches ptosis repair with the precision required to achieve symmetrical, lasting results. All eyelid procedures are performed under local anaesthesia with sedation at an accredited day surgery facility, typically completing in 1–2 hours. Most patients return to social activities within 1–2 weeks as bruising and swelling subside. The clinic's Novena Medical Center and Paragon Medical Suites (Orchard) locations offer accessible options across central Singapore.
