May 2022 - Dr. Marcus Wong is a very professional, skilled and caring doctor. I did my breast reconstruction after bilateral mastectomy surgery. He patiently explained to me my options of breast reconstruction (implants vs DIEP Flap). His sincerity gave me a lot of reassurance and confidence to proceed with the surgery.Dr. Marcus Wong and his staff especially Wan Qin took good care of me post surgery and never fails to make my every visit a pleasant one. I would highly recommend Dr. Marcus Wong and his amazing team.
July 2018 - Just removed a cyst from my head to have it checked if it was cancerous. Had a few doctors recommending me to shave my head to have the operation. There would be a possibility of no hair regrowth and also a prominent scar as the lump was about 4cm in diameter, which meant the cut would be about 6cm or more. Dr Marcus Wong was my 3rd opinion, and he gave me the assurance that the scar would be minimal, and no shaving required. I went ahead with Dr Wong after a few consultation, as he seemed very knowledgeable and in the know of what he is doing and what can be expected. He gave me a 9 months recovery timeline. I am 3 months into recovery, and I am void of any scar! My family has a history of keloids, and I was afraid I would be plagued with an ugly line. Thankful for the skill Dr Wong has.
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
- 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.
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.

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.
