Man loses negligence suit against plastic surgeon over ‘high and prominent’ eyelid creases after op

SINGAPORE - The director of a property investment firm who was unhappy that he was left with “high and prominent” upper eyelid creases after an operation to correct his asymmetrical eyes sued the plastic surgeon who carried out the cosmetic procedure.

Mr Lee’s suit was dismissed by a district judge, who found that he had been adequately advised on the condition of his brows and upper eyelids and the treatment procedures available, including a brow lift which he declined. Notably, the judge added, Mr Lee admitted in cross-examination that he could accept his post-operative look.She said he sought to portray himself as a Chinese-educated layman who did not understand medical advice, but the record showed that he has consulted various medical specialists even before he saw Dr Khoo.

The case arose from a procedure, known as a blepharoplasty, on Mr Lee’s eyelids to remove sagging skin and fatty tissue in October 2013. After Mr Lee consulted Dr Khoo, it was agreed that Dr Hong would remove the lump with Dr Khoo suturing the wound. He alleged that Dr Khoo failed to advise him of the possible consequences of the procedure; failed to plan and discuss with him the various treatment options; and failed to provide adequate treatment.
