What is Blepharoplasty Eyelid Surgery in Singapore?

Blepharoplasty Eyelid Surgery

Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery in Singapore, involves removing excess skin, muscle and fat around the eyes. As we age, the eyelids stretch and the muscles supporting them weaken. The excess fat now gathers in these loose bags of muscles and lead to saggy eyebrows, droopy upper eyelids and eye bags.

Some patients who desire an upper eyelid crease may also opt to have double eyelid surgery procedure done to create a crease on the upper eyelids.

How is Double Eyelid Surgery done?

Double Eyelid Surgery (Incisional method)

Blepharoplasty can be performed for both aesthetic and reconstructive surgery purposes. If the double eyelid surgery is done for cosmetic reasons, we start off with a consultation appointment with our doctor to understand you and your expectations for the best possible outcome for the procedure.

For the upper eyelids, our surgical procedure involves trimming along the fold of the eyelids to remove excess skin, eyelid muscle and fat. In some cases with upper eyelid ptosis (which is classified as a medical condition in which the upper eyelid droops over the eye), we tighten the levator muscles to lift up the eyelid more. We then stitch the fold together to close the incision. For the lower lid, we make a cut on the skin just below the lashes in your eye’s natural crease or inside the lower eyelid. We remove the excess skin, reposition the fat, and the incision is stitched closed.

Double Eyelid Surgery (non-incisional or stitch method)

Another form of double eyelid surgery procedure that can be done is known as the ‘non-incisional’ or ‘stitch’ method. This is an aesthetic procedure that is popularly known as the scarless double eyelid surgery in Singapore. In this scarless double eyelid procedure, the surgeon carefully first examines the eyelid area and makes markings to strategically plan where the stitches will be made. The stitches are then performed on upper eyelid skin to create the scarless double eyelid crease.

It would be good for someone to drive you to and from surgery as well as aid in performing some daily activities after your double eyelid surgery as you may temporarily experience:

It will be good to use ice packs on your eyes for 10 minutes, every hour, on the night of the double eyelid surgery. The following day, use ice packs on your eyes four to five times throughout the day. Gently lubricate your eyelids with saline and use prescribed eyedrops or ointments. Bruising and swelling generally subside in 10 to 14 days while scars from the surgical cuts may take months to fade.
