Some of our patients may also be troubled with having monolids or uneven eyelid folds and creases, which make them to appear tired or uninterested.
At Colin Tham Plastic Surgery, our eyelid surgeon Dr Colin Tham offers patients the best of both worlds—the newer, more advanced scarless eyelid surgery, and the traditional incisional eyelid surgery which uses the cutting method.
Regardless of which surgical technique is eventually chosen and employed, rest assured that our ultimate goal is to help you achieve eyelids that look natural and perfectly complement your overall appearance.
