Dear X
Good morning! Hope this e-mail finds you well. Thank you for your interest in our services. Our surgeon needs to see you so that he can perform a complete assessment and counsel you carefully before any decision is made.
Eyelid surgery or Blepharoplasty is a procedure used to create double eyelids, correct drooping upper lids or reduce puffy bags beneath the eyes. It is used to remove fat, as well as excess skin and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids. Blepharoplasty can make a remarkable difference in the appearance of the face, alleviating the appearance of tiredness and old age by eliminating the excess, wrinkly skin beneath the eyes. The eyes appear fresher and more youthful, and the results may last for a number of years. The degree of improvement varies from patient to patient.
This surgery is usually performed on an outpatient basis. It can take about one hour for the surgeon to complete the procedure. Blepharoplasty is usually performed with only local anaesthesia. You will be awake during the procedure, but relaxed and not affected by the pain. Bruising from this procedure can last up to a month, and patients should also expect to experience excessive tearing, sensitivity to light, and blurred and double vision for the first few days.
Most patients can return to work after 7 days. In some cases, however, patients experience difficulty in closing their eyes: in very rare cases, this can be permanent. Another rare risk is the occurrence of ectropion, which is the pulling of lower lids.
After surgery, the physician will apply eye ointment to your incision to reduce dryness in this area. Your vision may be blurred temporarily from the ointment. The first evening after surgery, you should rest quietly with your head elevated. It will help to apply cold compresses to your eyelids. Although you can be up almost immediately, you should limit your activities.
Recovery time from the surgery depends on individual health status and healing process. Normally, you may have some bruises around the eye, where the procedure is done, but this will go away after a few days. Medical leave is given for a few days to a week and you will be reviewed regularly.
The cost of consultation for senior consultant is $75 at first visit and $45 at repeat visit. The cost for consultant is $60 at first visit and $42 for repeat visit. For single blepharoplasty, the cost is from $2220 onwards. For double blepharoplasty, the costs is from $3600 onwards. Please note the above charges all exclude GST.
Our clinic session is from Monday to Friday, 8.30 am to 5.30 pm. Usually, surgery can be done on the same day if the case is not too complex or extensive.Once again, thank you for your interest. We look forward to hearing from you soon. Please feel free to contact us at 6772 2022 if you have any enquiries.
We wish you and your family the best of health always.
Warmest Regards,
KC
NUH APSC Clinic Manager

I emailed them about the eyelid surgery only. Detailed response but I think way too much information. There are no proven track record online, no review on the net. Price is still okay but NUH is located quite far away. Travelling there is a problem for me.
I am considering. Not that high on my preference priority list.
