The fee for dermal fillers at this practice is set by what the examination finds, not by the product on the shelf: the material chosen for each area, how much volume the anatomy calls for rather than how many syringes, the number of areas and the plane each needs, the doctor time a careful placement takes, any correction of earlier filler, and the review. No figure is given before assessment.
Short answerSingapore's rules restrict price advertising, and a number quoted before examination would describe a product rather than a plan. This page sets out the factors; the written quote comes after Dr Sin Yong has examined you, as how fees are quoted explains. The wider background is in the dermal fillers Singapore guide.
Hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, polycaprolactone and poly-L-lactic acid are different products at different costs, chosen by area and by whether reversibility matters
Volume logic
The quantity follows what the area is missing after examination, not a syringe count chosen in advance
Areas
Each area is planned on its own, with its own material, plane and quantity; more areas is more work, not a bundle
Doctor time
Every placement is by Dr Sin Yong personally, in small amounts checked side against side
Correction
Ultrasound mapping and dissolving of earlier filler are costed separately from new treatment
No pressure
The option of no treatment, a written quote you take home, and no decision required at the first visit
There is no fee list for dermal fillers on this site for two reasons. The first is regulatory: Singapore's rules on healthcare advertising restrict how fees may be advertised, and the Singapore Medical Council expects fees to be made known to the patient before treatment rather than used to attract them to it. The second is clinical: a filler plan does not exist until the face has been examined, because material, plane and quantity are decided area by area from what is found.
Illustrative image — not a patient.
So this page describes what moves a filler fee rather than what the fee is. The practice's general approach, including what a written quote contains, is on how fees are quoted, and the sequence from enquiry to written plan is on the consultation process page. The visit itself is on what to expect at a dermal filler visit.
How do the material and the volume logic move the fee?
The material comes first, and it is chosen by area, not by preference for a brand. Hyaluronic acid is the usual first choice where reversibility matters, because hyaluronidase can dissolve it; a firmer hyaluronic acid or calcium hydroxylapatite and polycaprolactone are used on bone-support areas such as the cheek, chin, jawline and nose, where structure is the job; poly-L-lactic acid works through collagen over time and is a different product again. These are different products at different costs; why each goes where it goes is on the dermal fillers page.
Volume is the second factor, and the logic matters more than the number. The quantity for each area follows what the examination finds is missing, placed in small amounts and checked side against side, with the deficit judged after any lifting that is planned first, as the volume restoration page explains. A face is not filled to use up what was opened; the fee reflects what the anatomy called for.
Factor
What it changes
Why it is not known before examination
Material
Which product, and whether reversibility is built in
Chosen by area and by what the tissue has to do: project on bone, soften a hollow, or move with expression
Quantity
How much is placed per area
Follows the deficit found, after any lifting planned first; not a syringe count
Areas and planes
How many zones, and the depth each needs
Each area is examined at rest and in movement before it is included
Correction work
Mapping and dissolving earlier filler
Depends on what ultrasound finds, and on whether it is hyaluronic acid or a product that cannot be dissolved
“I do not quote a syringe; I quote a plan. The syringe is how the product is packed, not how a face is planned.”
Dr Sin YongOn how dermal filler fees are set
How do the areas, doctor time and correction work move the fee?
The number of areas is the third factor, and each is a separate piece of planning rather than a line in a bundle. The cheek, the chin, the jawline, the lips, the temples and the tear trough are examined on their own terms, and an area is only included when the examination supports it; the cheek and chin guides set out how each is planned.
Doctor time is the fourth. Every placement is by Dr Sin Yong personally, after examination, in small amounts checked against the other side before more is added, which is slower than filling a syringe and stopping. The fee reflects physician time at that pace, not a therapist's session or a volume-per-minute model.
Correction work is the fifth, and it is costed separately from new treatment. Mapping earlier filler with ultrasound, dissolving hyaluronic acid with hyaluronidase, and managing product that cannot be dissolved are their own pieces of work, planned under filler correction.
Do combinations change the fee, and what is not charged for?
Combinations change the fee in both directions. Where the examination finds that descent rather than loss is the main change, lifting on the layer that let the tissue slide, with the VF Lift – Vertical Facelift or HIFU, may be planned first, and the filler quantity shrinks to the deficit that remains or drops out altogether. Where muscle is making a line, botulinum toxin may be planned instead of filler for that line. A combined plan is quoted as its parts, each itemised with its area and its review, in the order it is staged.
What is not charged for
The option of no treatment, including advice to wait or to see a different specialist; the consultation fee is stated when you book and is the only fee in that case.
A plan you take home: a written quote stands and no decision is required at the first visit.
The review visit is written into the quote as part of the plan, with what it assesses, rather than sold as a separate product afterwards.
No packages are sold on the day, and no repeat is sold in advance; a top-up, if one is ever appropriate, is decided at review from what has settled.
How does a written dermal filler quote work at this practice?
Dr Sin Yong examines the whole face at rest and in movement, with ultrasound where earlier filler is involved, and separates volume loss from laxity and from skin quality. From that comes a plan in plain language: the areas, the material for each, the plane, the quantity logic, whether anything is combined or staged, and the review. The fee is attached to that plan and handed over in writing. You can take it home.
The consultation can also end with no filler proposed, because a heavy lower face, a jowl, loose skin or a line etched by muscle are not filler problems, and because a face that is already over-filled needs subtraction first. That outcome carries the consultation fee and nothing else. If you have been quoted elsewhere, compare what the quote contains, which product and quantity, who places it and what the review covers, rather than the headline figure; a lower number may describe a different material or a plan without a review. Area-specific factors are on under-eye filler cost.

Every treatment is performed by Dr Sin Yong personally. Singapore Medical Council registered · invited to share his clinical expertise internationally for CLASSYS, DEKA, Fotona, Hironic and Ilooda.
Book an assessment with Dr Sin Yong on Orchard Road; the written quote follows the examination, and the plan can be taken home. How consultations work.
A syringe is how the product is packed, not how a face is planned. A per-syringe figure describes a product before anyone has examined you. Here the quantity follows what each area is found to be missing, placed in small amounts and checked side against side, and the fee is attached to that plan in writing after assessment.
No. The fee depends on the material chosen for each area, the quantity the anatomy calls for, the plane, whether earlier filler needs mapping or dissolving, and whether anything is combined or staged, none of which a photograph shows. The quote is written after Dr Sin Yong has examined you.
It is costed separately, because it is different work. Mapping earlier product with ultrasound, dissolving hyaluronic acid with hyaluronidase, and managing a product that cannot be dissolved each take their own planning and time. Where a face is over-filled, the plan is often subtraction before any addition.
The review is written into the quote as part of the plan, with what it assesses, rather than sold as a separate product afterwards, so you know before treatment how it is accounted for. It is timed for after swelling has settled, when the shape can be judged, and any small adjustment is decided then from what has settled.
That is a legitimate outcome and carries the consultation fee only, which is stated when you book. A jowl, loose skin, a line etched by muscle or an already over-filled face are not filler problems, and you are told what they are instead, including waiting or a referral.
