Top 5 Plastic Surgeries Performed in Singapore

Breast augmentation is a popular procedure in Singapore to enhance breast shape and volume. This can be achieved using silicone or saline implants, or through fat transfer. Many patients consider this surgery to restore breast volume after pregnancy or weight loss, improve body proportions or achieve greater symmetry.

Most patients prefer results that look natural and in harmony with their body. Depending on the treatment plan, implants can be placed either above or below the chest muscle, with incisions carefully positioned in discreet areas such as the under-breast fold or armpit.

In Singapore, the cost of breast augmentation typically ranges from $11,000 to $18,000+. Fees vary based on factors such as implant type, surgical technique, whether fat grafting is included, and the surgeon’s experience.

Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is one of the most frequently performed plastic surgery procedures in Singapore. It can address both cosmetic and functional concerns, improving eyelid definition, reducing puffiness, and correcting drooping or sagging skin that may interfere with vision.

There are different types of blepharoplasty, depending on the patient’s needs:

• Upper eyelid surgery – removes excess skin, fat or muscle to correct drooping or create a more defined eyelid crease.
• Lower eyelid surgery – reduces puffiness, eye bags or loose skin beneath the eyes for a smoother, fresher appearance.
• Double eyelid surgery – a form of upper blepharoplasty that creates a defined eyelid crease for patients who naturally do not have one.

Techniques may be incisional (long-lasting and suitable for excess tissue) or non-incisional (suture method, with quicker recovery but less permanence).

In Singapore, the cost of blepharoplasty varies depending on the type and complexity of surgery. Upper or lower eyelid surgery typically ranges from $3,000 to $8,000, while combined upper and lower eyelid procedures may start from $8,000 to $15,000+, depending on the treatment plan and the surgeon’s expertise.

Liposuction is a popular procedure for removing stubborn fat deposits in areas like the abdomen, thighs, arms and chin, especially when these areas do not respond to diet and exercise. Patients often consider this procedure to achieve a slimmer, more sculpted figure that matches the local preference for a lean, toned silhouette.

Several techniques are available, including power-assisted, ultrasound-assisted and laser-assisted liposuction. While not intended as a weight-loss solution, liposuction is an effective method for targeted body contouring.

In Singapore, the cost of liposuction generally ranges from $3,000 to $10,000 per treatment area. For multiple areas or full-body treatments, fees may range from $15,000 to $25,000+, depending on the scope of surgery, technique used, and surgeon’s expertise.

Many patients in Singapore consider rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping surgery, to refine the height, tip, bridge or width of their nose. The aim is usually to create a nose that looks balanced with the rest of the face, whether by achieving a more defined bridge or improving overall proportions.

There are two main surgical techniques: closed (scarless) rhinoplasty and open rhinoplasty. The choice depends on the degree of adjustment needed and the patient’s goals. Both methods are designed to enhance facial harmony while preserving a natural look.

In Singapore, the cost of a rhinoplasty ranges from $4,000 to $20,000+, depending on the complexity of the procedure. For those seeking a less invasive option, dermal filler-only treatments are available at a lower cost, though these provide temporary results compared to surgery.

Facelift surgery is a popular procedure in Singapore for addressing signs of ageing such as sagging skin, jowls and deep facial folds, particularly around the mid-face and jawline. Many patients seek natural-looking results, and treatment options range from mini facelifts to more comprehensive SMAS facelifts. Non-surgical alternatives, such as thread lifts, may also be considered for patients who prefer a less invasive approach.

The choice of technique depends on the degree of correction needed and the patient’s goals. Each approach aims to restore a refreshed, balanced appearance while maintaining facial harmony.

In Singapore, the cost of facelift surgery typically ranges from $15,000 to $25,000. More extensive procedures—such as combined facelifts with neck lifts or revision surgeries—may cost $30,000 to $40,000+, depending on complexity, techniques used and the surgeon’s expertise.
