Summary

Eye bags are a common concern, but there’s no single “one-size-fits-all” solution or price. The cost of eye bag removal in Singapore depends on what’s causing the puffiness under your eyes and whether you choose a surgical or non-surgical approach. Some treatments are aimed at permanently removing or repositioning fat, while others are aimed at tightening or rebalancing the under-eye area over time.

In this guide, we break down the typical costs of eye bag removal surgery and non-surgical treatments, explain what’s included in those fees, and help you understand why prices can vary between clinics in Singapore.

Why You May Consider Eye Bag Removal

Eye bags develop for different reasons. You may inherit prominent fat pads under the eyes, or you may notice gradual changes due to ageing, fluid retention, or skin laxity.

As collagen support decreases over time, your lower eyelids may start to look puffy, hollow, or uneven.

You can consider eye bag removal if you want to:

Cost of Permanent Eye Bag Removal (Surgical Options)

With surgical treatment, you can fix what’s actually causing your eye bags. This procedure is called lower blepharoplasty and removes or repositions the fat under your eyes, tightening loose skin, too, if necessary.

In Singapore Eye bag surgery, or lower blepharoplasty, typically costs SGD 6,000 to SGD 15,000, depending on the technique your surgeon recommends and the complexity of the procedure.

The cost of removing eye bags in Singapore includes more than just the surgery itself. It also includes your pre-operative consultation, surgeon’s fees, anaesthesia, operating theatre charges, and post-operative follow-up care.

Scarless Eye Bag Removal

With scarless eye bag removal, your surgeon accesses the fat pads from inside the lower eyelid, avoiding visible external incisions. This approach may suit you if excess fat is causing your eye bags, and your skin still has good elasticity.

The cost of scarless eye bag removal in Singapore usually ranges from SGD 6,000 to SGD 9,000.

Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty

With transconjunctival blepharoplasty, your surgeon removes or repositions the fat under your eyes through a small incision inside your eyelid.

Because there’s no external scar, this method reshapes your under-eye contour while keeping results subtle. You may find this option suitable if your skin is still firm and doesn’t need tightening.

The price of transconjunctival blepharoplasty in Singapore typically ranges from SGD 7,000 to SGD 10,000.

Subciliary Eye Bag Surgery

With subciliary eye bag surgery, your surgeon makes a small incision just below your lash line, removing or repositioning fat and tightening loose skin at the same time. You can consider this option if sagging skin is a major cause of your eye bags.

Because of the added complexity, subciliary eye bag surgery fees often range from SGD 10,000 to SGD 15,000.

Temporary Eye Bag Removal (Non-Surgical Options)

With non-surgical treatments, you can improve the under-eye area without incisions or extended downtime. These options do not permanently remove fat and usually require maintenance over time. The price of non-surgical eye bag removal in Singapore depends on the technology your doctor uses, how many sessions you need, and the products involved.

Agnes RF Eye Bag Treatment

With Agnes RF, your doctor uses radiofrequency energy delivered through fine microneedles to target under-eye fat and skin laxity. Doctors often consider this treatment for mild to moderate eye bags. You may consider this option if you want a non-surgical approach with limited downtime.

The cost of Agnes RF eye bag treatment typically ranges from SGD 3,000 to SGD 6,000,

Under-Eye Filler

With under-eye fillers, your doctor does not remove eye bags. Instead, the treatment softens the transition between the lower eyelid and cheek, reducing shadowing caused by volume loss.

Your surgeon may recommend fillers when hollowing, rather than fat protrusion, is contributing to your tired appearance.

The price of under-eye fillers in Singapore usually ranges from SGD 800 to SGD 2,000 per syringe, depending on the type of filler used and how much product you need.

Laser Eye Bag Removal

With laser treatments, you can tighten and smooth the skin around your eyes. While lasers don’t remove fat, they can help reduce mild puffiness and soften fine lines.

This treatment is suitable if your eye bags are caused by early skin laxity or surface wrinkles rather than prominent fat bulges. You can expect results to appear gradually, and you’ll likely need follow-up sessions to maintain the improvement.

The price of a laser eye bag removal session in Singapore usually ranges from SGD 500 to SGD 1,500.

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)

With HIFU, focused ultrasound energy targets the skin under your eyes to stimulate collagen production and gently tighten the area. Your doctor may recommend this treatment if early skin laxity is contributing to your eye bags.

Similar to laser, results appear gradually, and you may need repeat sessions to maintain the effect.

The cost of HIFU for eye bags generally ranges from SGD 800 to SGD 3,000.

Factors That Affect Eye Bag Removal Costs

Not sure why the cost of eye bag removal can vary so much across clinics and visits? Here’s what you need to know.

Surgeon and Clinic Considerations

Your surgeon’s training, experience, and approach directly affect the price you’ll pay. In Singapore, Plastic surgeon fees for eye bag surgery usually include your consultation, surgical planning, the procedure itself, and follow-up care.

With surgical treatment, your fees usually cover more than just the procedure itself. You’ll also pay for anaesthesia, operating theatre charges, and surgical equipment and consumables.

Non-surgical treatments work differently. They often require multiple sessions, which can add up over time and increase the total cost of removing your eye bags.

Recovery and Follow-Up Expenses

You’ll also need to factor in some additional costs after your procedure. This can include medications to manage discomfort or prevent infection, eye care products or dressings to support healing, and review appointments to monitor your recovery and make sure your results settle as expected.
