What Is Upper Eyelid Surgery?
Upper eyelid surgery removes excess skin, tightens loose muscle, corrects drooping lids (ptosis), and restores a natural upper eyelid crease. The procedure enhances both aesthetic appearance and functional vision.
Who Needs Upper Eyelid Surgery?
You may benefit from this procedure if you have:
- Droopy or sagging upper eyelids
- Hooded or heavy eyelids
- Eyelid skin hanging over the lashes
- Asymmetrical eyelid creases
- Difficulty applying eye makeup
- Reduced field of vision due to excess skin
- Congenital or age-related ptosis
Benefits of Upper Eyelid Surgery
- Restores sharper, younger eyelid contour
- Reduces tired, sleepy appearance
- Improves vision (functional blepharoplasty)
- Natural-looking eyelid crease
- Boosts overall facial harmony
- Long-lasting results (7–12 years for most patients)

We customise every eyelid according to individual anatomy. Techniques include:

Strengthens or tightens the levator muscle to lift droopy eyelids.
3. Asian Double Eyelid Crease Creation (if requested)
Creates a natural-looking double eyelid fold.
4. Minimal Scar Techniques
Incisions hidden in the natural eyelid crease.
5. Fat Sculpting & Contouring
Balances eyelid volume for a smoother upper lid.

have a question?
Quick answers to questions you may have
1. How long does upper eyelid surgery last?
Results usually last 8–12 years depending on ageing and lifestyle.
2. Is upper eyelid surgery painful?
Only minimal discomfort, easily managed with medication.
4. Can upper eyelid surgery fix asymmetrical eyes?

5. Is ptosis surgery the same as upper blepharoplasty?
Ptosis correction repairs the levator muscle, while blepharoplasty removes excess skin. They are often combined.
