Expertise in Every Incision

At Polaris Plastic Surgery, double eyelid surgery isn’t just a procedure; it’s a transformation, tailored to enhance the natural beauty and symmetry of your eyes. Dr. Pek Chong Han and his team offer two primary techniques: the suture (‘scarless’) and the incisional methods, each suitable for different types of eyelid structures and aesthetic goals.

Suture (‘Scarless’) Technique
(Minimally Invasive)

The suture method is celebrated for its minimal invasiveness. It uses fine sutures to create a connection between the levator muscle and the skin, which forms the eyelid crease. This technique is ideal for individuals who are not looking for a drastic change and prefer a shorter recovery period. It involves less swelling and no need for suture removal, making it a convenient option for many.

Incisional Technique
(Surgical)​

For those requiring more significant modifications, such as the removal of excess skin or fat, the incisional technique is recommended. This method involves making an incision along the new eyelid crease, allowing for precise adjustments and more durable results. It's particularly effective for individuals with heavier eyelids or those looking for a more pronounced change in their eyelid appearance.

Customised To Your Unique Eyes​

Each technique has its advantages, and the choice largely depends on individual needs and the specific characteristics of your eyelids. Dr. Pek Chong Han provides a detailed consultation to help you choose the approach for achieving your desired look.

Whether you opt for the subtle enhancement of the suture technique or the transformative change of the incisional approach, you can trust Polaris Plastic Surgery to deliver natural, attractive results with minimal hassle.

Restoring functionality and aesthetics with Ptosis Correction

At Polaris Plastic Surgery, our approach to ptosis correction combines detailed assessment and tailored surgical techniques to restore both function and aesthetics to your eyes. We offer both non-surgical and surgical solutions to address the varying severities of ptosis.

For mild to moderate ptosis, non-surgical methods such as radiofrequency or neurotoxin therapy might be sufficient. These involve less invasive procedures that can adjust eyelid tension and position without extensive recovery times.

However, for more severe cases, surgical correction provides a more definitive solution.

Ptosis Correction Surgery
Surgical ptosis correction at Polaris is meticulously carried out under local anaesthesia, enhancing comfort and reducing downtime. The procedure typically involves making a small incision on the droopy eyelid through which the levator muscle — responsible for lifting the eyelid — is adjusted. This can involve either shortening the muscle to elevate the eyelid or reattaching it to a higher position to ensure it can fully lift the eyelid. For the most severe cases, where the levator muscle is extremely weak, techniques may involve utilising the forehead muscles to aid eyelid lift, providing a significant improvement in both vision and eyelid position.
Recovery from ptosis surgery is usually swift. As a day surgery procedure, most patients can return home the same day. Initial recovery involving minor swelling and bruising typically subsides within a week or two, allowing most patients to resume normal activities shortly after. Detailed post-operative care tailored to each patient ensures optimal recovery and outcomes. For the most severe cases, where the levator muscle is extremely weak, techniques may involve utilising the forehead muscles to aid eyelid lift, providing a significant improvement in both vision and eyelid position.

I believe eyelid procedures should create beautiful eyes that harmonise with the face, suited to different patients’ looks and styles. The anatomy of the upper eyelids is highly intricate and individualised, and there definitely should not be a one-size-fits-all approach to fixing them. Through an in-depth engagement and discussion, I can understand your goals in creating the appearance you always wanted. The team and I would walk this transformative journey with you, providing comfortable guidance along the way.

frequently asked questions

What does recovery look like following the double eyelid surgery?
Double eyelid correction surgery is generally performed as a day procedure, allowing patients to return home the same day. You might experience some slight bruising and swelling, which typically diminishes within a few days and completely resolves after one to two weeks. Recovery duration varies depending on the technique used: the suture method often requires about three days, whereas the incisional method might take up to 10 days or more for the incisions to fully heal. During your initial consultation, Dr Pek will assess your eyelids and discuss your aesthetic aspirations, providing tailored advice for your recovery.
The price for an upper eyelid procedure ranges between $2,500 and $5,000, depending on the techniques involved. This all-inclusive fee covers basic medications, basic sedation, suture removal, and follow-up appointments. The starting price for ptosis correction surgery is $5,000 however, the final cost may vary based on factors such as the chosen surgical technique, the complexity of the patient’s condition, and the fees for the surgeon, anaesthetist, operating facilities, and any prescribed medications.
A defined eyelid crease tends to enhance the eyes’ brightness. Double eyelid surgery can make the eyes appear larger, especially when combined with procedures that lift the upper eyelid border to increase the eye’s vertical opening or surgeries that extend the horizontal line of the eyes (medial or lateral epicanthoplasty).
Double eyelid surgery is generally very safe when performed by a qualified plastic surgeon. Post-operative bruising and swelling are typically mild. While no procedure is without potential complications, those associated with upper blepharoplasty are infrequent and manageable, including bleeding, infection, scarring, asymmetry, and dry eyes. Visual problems post-surgery are extremely rare.
Most double eyelid surgeries are conducted under local anaesthesia. Once administered, you should not feel any pain, although some pressure may be experienced during the procedure.
Yes, you can. Ptosis surgery in Singapore is Medisave/insurance claimable. You will need a formal visual assessment by an ophthalmologist to certify that your ptosis significantly impacts your vision, as stipulated by MOH.
Ptosis surgery is generally safe and has high success rates in Singapore. It is a common procedure that many board-certified plastic surgeons are experienced in performing. However, possible complications can include under- or overcorrection of the eyelid position, necessitating further treatment. Patients typically experience minor swelling and bruising. To minimise risks, a thorough pre-surgical assessment and diagnosis are conducted, and the surgery is highly customised to each patient’s specific requirements to ensure accurate muscle correction.
