PLASTIC, RECONSTRUCTIVE & AESTHETIC SURGERY The Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Section at Tan Tock Seng Hospital offers a full spectrum of plastic surgery procedures, including cosmetic procedures, and breast and cancer reconstruction. Our surgeons specialise in current techniques such as microvascular free tissue transfer and titanium and resorbable plate osteosynthesis for craniofacial fractures. They work closely with the John Hopkins International Medical Centre physicians as well as the rest of Tan Tock Seng Hospital’s Breast, Head and Neck cancer specialists to manage such conditions. Reconstruction services for melanoma and skin cancer are also readily available. Our surgeons have been working with the National Skin Centre to provide construction services for their patients. In most instances where the tumour has been removed during the surgery, reconstruction is often performed immediately.

PLASTIC, RECONSTRUCTIVE & AESTHETIC SURGERY

The aesthetic services aim to enhance the human physical form through cosmetic surgical procedures, where undesirable physical features are removed and replaced. The physical signs of ageing are reversed to reveal a fresher and more youthful appearance. Our services aim to restore self esteem and achieve an improved, natural appearance. We are located at Clinic 2B, Medical Centre, Level 2.
