Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Double eyelid creation, droopy eyelid correction, and eye bag removal by specialist plastic surgeon Dr. Yeap Choong Lieng. Incisional and non-incisional methods available for tailored, natural-looking results.

Eyelid surgery at Yeap Cosmetic & Plastic Surgery Clinic covers three primary procedures: double eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), droopy eyelid correction (ptosis repair), and eye bag removal (lower blepharoplasty). All procedures are performed by Dr. Yeap Choong Lieng, a Consultant Plastic Surgeon accredited by Singapore's Ministry of Health with FAMS (Plastic Surgery) and FRCS (Edinburgh) qualifications — ensuring reconstructive precision alongside cosmetic expertise. Double eyelid surgery uses either the incisional method (small incision along the crease line to remove excess skin, fat, or muscle — recommended for heavier eyelids with lasting results) or the non-incisional suture method (sutures placed without cutting, suited to thinner eyelids with no excess tissue and faster recovery). The choice of method is determined during consultation based on eyelid anatomy and patient preference. Droopy eyelid (ptosis) correction addresses levator muscle weakness or dehiscence that causes the upper lid to droop, which can impair vision in more severe cases. Eye bag removal targets the fat pads and loose skin of the lower eyelid, with incisions placed either inside the lid (transconjunctival approach, no visible scar) or along the lash line. Procedures typically take 30 minutes to one hour as outpatient under local anaesthesia. Recovery involves swelling and bruising for one to two weeks, with sutures removed at follow-up. A consultation with Dr. Yeap is required to assess eyelid anatomy and recommend the optimal technique.
