Long-Term Cosmetic Surgery Care in Singapore

Why Long-Term Care Matters
Long-term care is a vital part of achieving the best outcomes from cosmetic surgery. Dr Ng Zhi Yang and the Doctor Stitch team in Singapore provide ongoing post-surgery monitoring for the face, eyes, nose, breasts, and body, helping patients to maintain natural, safe, and long-lasting results. Late complications such as scarring, asymmetry, or tissue changes can be detected early, and timely interventions or referrals are offered when needed.
