The eyes are often the first to show signs of ageing, with loosening skin and expanding fat pads leading to puffy bags that create a tired appearance. Dr Lim offers a rejuvenating solution through transconjunctival blepharoplasty, a procedure that removes fat from inside the eyelid, restoring a youthful look.
Main benefits of this procedure over conventional eyebag surgery include:
- No External Scarring
- No Sutures to be Removed
- Shorter Surgery, Faster Recovery
- Reducted Bruising and Swelling
If there is excess skin present, Dr Lim can seamlessly remove it via a small incision just beneath the eyelashes, without traumatising the underlying muscle or leaving behind any visible scars.

You will not feel any pain during the procedure as local anaesthesia and sedation will be used. During the initial recovery, however, you may experience temporary and mild discomfort, which are generally very manageable for patients.
Slight bruising and swelling around the eyes generally improve within three days. However, if you have thinner, older or more lax skin, it may take about two weeks for these effects to subside.
Eyebags typically do not recur after surgery as the fat pads causing them are removed or repositioned. However, natural ageing, genetics, and lifestyle factors can still lead to changes in the eye area in the future.
