Best Plastic Surgeon in Singapore - 5 Things to Check before Getting your Plastic Surgery Done

If you are looking to find the best plastic surgeon in Singapore for your cosmetic surgery procedure, you are in the right place.

It's likely that you have a friend or you know of someone who has done it and you would just like to proceed with the same plastic surgeon. However, results and outcome of surgeries differ from one customer to another. Your friend might have gone for an unlicensed plastic surgeon and she might just got lucky with the outcome. Plastic surgery is not without risks. You just don't look for the cheapest deal and simple word of mouth referrals as there are local guidelines in Singapore that define who, what and where plastic surgery procedures can be and cannot be done in Singapore.

Plastic Surgery Singapore Guidelines


How do you proceed then?

#1: Research and Google “Plastic surgeons in Singapore”

You will get a list of search results and the top ones and the ones on the right column are advertisements. Bear in mind that the plastic surgeon's high ranking on page 1 and visible advertisements on Google may not be truly reflective of the surgeon's skills, experience and also how 'safe' is the surgeon. I suggest you go through all the links on page 1 and shortlist a few plastic surgeons. 

So, how do you shortlist the few? Call up the centers and make your enquiries. Filter out those that are not able to provide you with the right information. A poorly trained staff tends to be a reflection of the centre as well. Do understand that a plastic surgery procedure requires team effort and poor support and management is a potential risk factor to the surgical procedure itself.

Next, you Google again the prospective plastic surgeon’s name and the centre; and add in the keywords ‘forum’ or ‘reviews’ to see what other people have to say about them. If you know a friend or relative who has an operation done before, make sure that you talk to him or her. However, make sure she is a trusted friend. Some centres or surgeons do offer commission scheme or ‘patient get patient’ referral scheme. Therefore, do not just rely on information provided by a single person. Do your research thoroughly.  A surgery is a surgery. Mistakes do happen.


#2. Check whether your Plastic Surgeon is on the specialist register and accredited by the Specialist Accreditation Board.

Go to the Singapore Medical Council website and check if your plastic surgeon is on the specialist register and accredited by the Specialist Accreditation Board.


This is an important step for you to find out. Make sure that the Singapore plastic surgeon that you choose actually is a Singapore licensed surgeon. There have been cases where people searching for a bargain were accidentally killed by unlicensed Singapore plastic surgery practitioners who used the wrong tools, the wrong chemicals, and the wrong methods to get results.

Although this is a given, please do not go to a beautician for cosmetic surgeries. The obsession to look beautiful may make you susceptible to unscrupulous cosmetic practitioners.  A surgery has to be done by a surgeon, period. Not a beautician and not even a general practitioner. A plastic surgeon may refuse your wish for safety reasons. I suggest you follow the surgeons’ advice and move on to non-surgical methods. 


#3. Check out related reviews.

You may wish to check out related reviews before making the decision to choose the best option.

Check out the reviews from customers who 'have been there, done that': Plastic Surgery Singapore Reviews

Next, search for their centre or clinic on Google or their Facebook Page. Check the reviews on Google as well.


#4. Check out the Plastic surgeons' sub-specialty and their experiences

Do remember that the field of plastic surgery consists of many sub-specialties. Not all plastic surgeons are the same and certainly not all are good in all types of plastic surgery procedures. To know more about the basics of plastic surgery, check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_surgery.


#5. Check out the list of plastic surgeons in Singapore below

In this post, we have also compiled a list of plastic surgeons and cosmetic surgery clinics in Singapore.

*We have also added their estimate age for your consideration. As it was difficult to find available information on the age of the plastic surgeons, we have made an estimate based on the year that they have completed their medical degree program. Most doctors would have completed their basic medical degree at the age of 25 years old. For example, Dr Erik Ang; graduated from NUS with MBBS (NUS) in 1989. So, current year (2017) minus 1989 = 28 years post-graduation. Therefore, his current age is 25 + 28 = 53 yrs old.
