In aesthetic medicine, some of the hardest decisions aren’t about what can  be done - but what should  be done. Recently, I saw a 19-year-old male with fair (Fitzpatrick I) skin who had been under a private Dermatologist for acne. His condition was well-controlled on isotretinoin (Accutane), with no active breakouts - only a few mild rolling scars across the cheeks. Traditionally, the teaching has been to avoid ablative (even fractional) lasers for at least 6–12 months after

Two contrasting cases - one medically concerning, one safely treated with CO₂ laser. Why diagnosis, skin type, and technique choice matter more than convenience.

Two patients - one with a fresh eyebrow cut, another with an old scar. Dr Ng Zhi Yang explains how precise repair and revision restore form, function, and finesse.

Two patients returned home after overseas liposuction - one with breathing difficulty, another with swelling. Dr Ng Zhi Yang explains how aftercare and recognising lipedema can change recovery.

After breast augmentation abroad, one patient returned home with unexpected swelling and no access to her operative notes. Dr Ng Zhi Yang shares what this could mean, why aftercare and documentation matter, and how timely review ensures safe recovery from cosmetic surgery complications.
