I really dunno who should i go to as i really need to do sth to my look. All the doctors seem a bit dishonest in some sense. Can you suggest any good doctors in Singapore in eyelid and nose surgery.
If anyone has a successful cosmetic surgery, pls share with me. I don't want to have a failed one again which is killing ppl for having a knife cut in your face.
Dear Merr,
I cannot see how a doctor can sue you if you are not revealing personal details of yourself. Even if the provided details may sound familiar to any of these doctors, what base will they have to sue? An assumption? You have any idea how embarassing it would be for a doctor to approach a past patient he/she thinks might be the one? I don't think so! This is a forum, which means you should feel free to express your opinion about events and outcomes that have affected you. I don't think that these doctors are looking into these forums, although I frankly wish they would. I know if I were one I would.
A lot of people are intimidated by doctors, especially the arrogant ones and will not express their concerns or dissatisfaction, although you have every right to. For goodness sake, you paid for that service, so why should you not be able to judge upon it? I have no qualms about expressing my opinion, because I wish that I had had a forum I could consult before I went for my first procedure. God knows I tried!
It's difficult enough finding sympathy from family and friends when it comes to plastic surgery. Half of them are scared and the other half is uninformed, trying to talk you out and give you advice on something they know nothing about. So you see, we all have a common interest here. And for those posting otherwise, I shall use my freedom of choice to just simply ignore you.
That being said, I am still very curious to know if you approached him with your complaint and what his reaction was.
As for the Australian entry, join the club. If you have been following these discussions, you will have noticed that with the exception of about two or three, I cannot get anything conclusive here. I can only tell you that based on my consultation with him, I cannot recommend Dr. Woffles due to his inabilitity to see beyond the dollars (which are many) and himself (who is God...)
To be fair, I cannot judge on his work (take a look at "nymphie's" comment from Sept. 7, maybe there you can get more of an insight). He probably is a brilliant surgeon, who knows... There are certain surgeons that have their specialty, most of them will not admit to it because they want you to believe that they are good and capable in all areas of this field, but it is true. Maybe one that does a great facelift sucks -pardon the pun- in liposuction. Although I don't expect a friendship to emerge from the doctor/patient relationship, experience has taught me that a certain amount of "sympathy" or liking is necessary.
I still am actively looking for alternatives in the neighboring countries (Thailand and Philippines) and would welcome testimonials from patients who have had their jobs done there, in particular (but not limited to) liposuction and breast augmentation. Prices here in Singapore are really high, and just in browsing, I am so amazed at how much cheaper the prices are in e.g. Bangkok and that's including everything (doctor's fee, anesthesiologist, hospital fees, implants, etc.).
If I am able to get more information through other sources, I shall post them here. In the meantime, good luck!
