Double Eyelid Surgery in Singapore
Double Eyelid Surgery in Singapore
Double eyelid surgery is a cosmetic procedure that creates a natural crease in the upper eyelid, resulting in a more defined and harmonious appearance. In Singapore, many patients opt for this surgery to refresh and rejuvenate their eyelids, enhancing their appearance.
Types of Double Eyelid Surgery
Choosing the right type of double eyelid surgery depends on your unique anatomy, desired look and skin type. The primary techniques include:
The incisional method involves creating a precise incision along the upper eyelid to form a defined crease. This technique provides durable results and is particularly suitable for patients with thicker or excess eyelid skin, significant asymmetry or when combined with ptosis repair if needed.
Also known as the suture method, the non-incisional approach uses fine sutures placed through small skin punctures to create a natural eyelid fold without a full-length incision. It generally involves minimal downtime and is ideal for patients with thinner eyelids and those seeking a subtle crease, though the fold may loosen over time.
Who Is A Good Candidate for Double Eyelid Surgery?
Double eyelid surgery is suitable for patients with:
- Sagging or excess skin on the upper eyelids
- Monolid eyes (the absence of a natural crease)
- Uneven or asymmetrical eyelid shapes
Additionally, an ideal candidate should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about their surgical results.

Schedule your consultation todayDouble eyelid surgery is usually done under local anaesthesia with light sedation, so you will remain relaxed and comfortable throughout. The procedure generally lasts 30–90 minutes, depending on the chosen method and your individual anatomy. Generally, patients are able to return home comfortably the very same day.
Healing is an important part of your double eyelid surgery journey. In the first few days, you may notice mild swelling, bruising or tenderness around the eyelids — these usually improve quickly with proper rest and care. Most swelling settles within one to two weeks, and the crease will refine over one to three months. Simple measures such as cold compresses and sleeping with your head elevated can help with recovery.
Potential Risks and Considerations
Double eyelid surgery is generally safe, especially in the hands of an accredited plastics surgeon. However, as with any surgical procedure, some risks remain. These may include:
- Mild asymmetry between the eyelids
- Noticeable or raised scarring
- Incomplete crease formation or loss of the fold over time
- Infection or bleeding
- Temporary dryness or discomfort when blinking
Choosing an experienced surgeon helps to minimise these risks and ensures that any concerns can be addressed promptly and effectively.

The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so most patients feel little to no discomfort. Although some mild soreness or swelling may follow, these are temporary and can be managed with prescribed aftercare and simple pain-killers.
Incisional techniques generally produce long-lasting, often permanent results. Non-incisional methods can also last for years but have a higher chance of the crease loosening over time, which may require revision. Also, in those who have heavy eyelid skin, the incisional method will give a more natural result.
