Cosmetic Surgery Aftercare

From stitch removal to scar management, we provide specialist attention through every stage of your healing

Complications in Medical Tourism

Cosmetic surgery done abroad is increasingly popular but so are the increasing numbers of patients with complications. Multiple studies from the UK have documented the scale of the problem. A review at NHS Scotland's Canniesburn Unit found 81 patients over five years with complications following overseas cosmetic surgery, at an average cost of £9,327 per patient (Surgeon, 2024). A London hospital review found 96% of surgical cosmetic complications had been performed abroad (JPRAS, 2025). A rapid review of 37 studies covering 655 NHS-treated patients estimated costs of up to £19,549 per patient, with 53% experiencing moderate to severe complications (BMJ Open, 2026). Singapore, in that context, holds no surprises either.

Doctor Stitch, led by Dr Ng Zhi Yang, serves to bridge this gap in cosmetic surgery aftercare, which unfortunately, is often the missing piece in a patient's surgical journey.
