September 2022 - I am very surprised to see all the 1 star reviews as I did my eyelid surgery with Dr Wong 12 years ago - Jun 2010, and it was amazing! I went to him after knowing 2 very yim chim friends did their eyelids with him. A friend who saw me after the surgery also went to Dr Wong and her result was perfect. I include here my eyes before and after for your reference. No one has ever think my eyelid was artificially created and I am always proud to inform that they are not natural lol.

July 2014 - I did my surgery with Dr Wong Saw Yean at GleneaglesI did the incision method, and trust me its PAINLESS. It was painless during the surgery, and painless post surgery as well. I didn't even know it was done. They'll give you some pills to eat before the surgery and then you'll fall semi consciously asleep. You'll be able to hear what the doctor is saying but nothing more. 

I avoided seafood, spicy food, chicken, eggs, dark coloured stuff, herbal stuff, tonics, alcohol, cigarettes about 2 weeks before the operation. Its been almost 3 months (did it 30th of April 2014) since the surgery and as usual, the nurse didn't tell me when I could resume a normal diet. Again, I had to ask. Apparently, you can resume all of that 2 weeks after the surgery, or 1 week after the removal of stitches but I'm still pretty safe when it comes to seafood and tonics. Haven't had much yet. But am drinking and having spicy food already. 

Its still slightly swollen, but not obvious to anyone but yourself. My friends and colleagues can't tell that I've had double eyelid surgery but they do tell me that I look better and my eyes look much nicer! My left eye is swelling a bit higher than the right eye still, but its easily corrected by eyeliner. I wouldn't say the swelling has completely gone down, but it's gone down enough for people to not notice I've had surgery or even to see it as swollen. In fact, after the 1st month, the swelling had already disappeared according to my friends but it was still obvious to me (but you know we're always more critical on ourselves).

Let me know if you've any questions! Be glad to answer. Dr Wong is a great guy, very smiley, very genial, he just needs to give his nurse a good talking to :p


Mar 2013 - 18 weeks PO, got new Victoria's Secrets bikini!
I have been wanting a tummy tuck for the longest time... from the time I was pregnant with my 1st child 8 years ago. I remembered wailing, yes wailing, when i saw my postpartum tummy immediately after the delivery. It was full of stretch marks and saggy.
Well, fast forward 1 year and surprise surprise, the skin actually firmed up and left very little excess skin as compared to immediately right after birth…

Mar 2011 - most Singaporeans go to this dr wong from gleneagles in which he does epi and double eyelids; I think the stitching method. He charges about 2k for dlb eyelid and 1k plus for the epi. The "epi" will help you get almond shaped eyes that curves in towards your nose. Dr wong supposedly (hearsay and double confirmed by some, and also revealed by dr wong himself -wth!!) did Fann wong's eyes years ago. He has 20 years of experience.

FAQ

a. How Do I Prepare for a Surgical Consultation?

During your first consultation, you’ll be required to fill up the necessary forms prior to the actual consultation with your surgeon.

It would be good to come in with a general idea of what kind of procedure you would like to have and your expectations. You could also prepare for your consultation beforehand by coming up with a list of questions such as:

  • The surgical options you have
  • The risks and possible complications
  • What you can expect from the procedure
  • The type of anaesthesia used
  • Recovery time for the surgery
  • Any before or after photos of other surgeries your doctor has performed

Your plastic surgeon will work with you in managing your concerns and expectations. Some of these would be on:
  • What results you can expect from the procedure
  • How the surgery will be performed
  • Whether you are healthy enough to undergo the procedure
  • What kind of anaesthesia would be used
  • How you can prepare for the procedure
  • What you can expect during recovery
  • Operating room costs and surgeon’s fees
  • Whether the procedure is MediSave claimable
  • Other alternative procedures
  • Follow up appointments

While you can choose to confirm your surgery on the same day as your consultation, you should not feel obligated to make a decision immediately! Understandably, it may all be overwhelming and you should take it at a pace you’re comfortable with.

On some occasions, one consultation may not be enough for you to give the green light and new questions may arise. If so, that is perfectly normal. You can always call for a second consultation, and make sure to take note of the questions that need to be addressed before you can comfortably make a decision.

b. Is Singapore a Safe Country to Undergo Plastic Surgery?

Because of the strict regulations set in place by the Ministry of Health, you may rest comfortable knowing that plastic surgery in Singapore is safe. Before they can operate, plastic surgeons must complete years of rigorous training and testing. All licensed medical professionals will also be registered with the Singapore Medical Council, which will guarantee that surgical protocol is followed.


To ensure that they have the necessary expertise to provide the finest results, many plastic surgeons even enroll in additional specialised training programmes locally and overseas.

c. How Painful is Plastic Surgery?

The level of pain experienced during plastic surgery might vary depending on the specific procedure being performed, the patient's pain tolerance, and the surgical technique used. Commonly, plastic surgery involves making incisions, which can cause some discomfort, but most surgeons use anesthesia and pain medications to reduce pain during and after the surgery.

For minor procedures such as Botox injections or facial fillers, the pain is usually mild, and many people describe it as a slight pinching or burning sensation. However, for more invasive procedures such as breast augmentation, tummy tuck, or facelift surgery, the pain can be more intense and may need prescription pain medications for a few days or weeks after the surgery.

d. How Long Does a Plastic Surgery Last?

The duration of a plastic surgery procedure might vary based on the particular procedure being done, the extent of the operation, and the surgeon's ability and experience. While some treatments can be finished in a few hours, others might require many hours or even several sessions. 

For instance, a facelift process can take from 3-6 hours depending on the complexity of the surgery, whereas a breast augmentation procedure normally lasts 1-2 hours. Treatments involving many body parts or requiring more complicated techniques may require more time to complete.

It's also crucial to remember that the length of the process does not always equal to the length of the healing time. Recovery times can differ depending on the treatment, the patient's overall health, and their capacity for recovering. While recovery from certain surgeries may take many weeks, others can allow for a quicker return to daily activities. 

Before undergo any treatment, it's crucial to go over the expected length of the surgery and recovery period with your plastic surgeon so you know exactly what to anticipate.

e. Are Plastic Surgeries Reversible?


Depending on the specific operation being performed, some procedures can be reversed or corrected, while others may not be reversible or may require additional surgery to correct. 

For instance, breast implants can be removed or replaced, and the results of a rhinoplasty (nose job) can be modified with a revision procedure.

However, some procedures, such as a facelift or a tummy tuck, can be difficult to reversed once they have been performed. These procedures involve removing extra skin and tissue, which cannot simply be replaced once removed. In some cases, additional surgery may be necessary to correct the results of these procedures if they are unsatisfactory.
