The Best Decision to Have Dr Chia As my Surgeon.

WORTH IT
Dr. Chia has literally changed my life - my health and my mental health. I came for a breast reduction consultation at the beginning of this year (January 2022) after seeing 7 other surgeons -2 in the UK and 5 here in Singapore. The clinic feels professional, calm, clean and well organised. The first staff I met were welcoming and friendly. And then when I met Dr. Chia, I knew instantly that she would be the surgeon for me. She has a lovely caring manner and never made me feel awkward or silly for my questions, my concerns or my breasts. She listened intently to everything I said and made me feel like I was the most important patient and that she had all the time to spend with me, never making me feel rushed but at ease and comfortable.
On the day of the surgery, I felt so excited – 98% excited and 2% nervous – I was afraid of waking up during surgery - but nothing else as I completely trusted Dr. Chai to execute her skills to make my breasts look and feel the way I had envisioned in my head for years.
When I woke up in recovery, two nurses gave me first-rate care and attention. I was in no pain. The nurses were so patient and gentle with me, checking up on me frequently changing my dressing regularly and helping me to feel comfortable while I recovered and slept for the few hours after surgery. That professionalism in their care really made a difference to my experience that day.
I have really found the aftercare superb too. There have been regular trips back for follow up checks, stitch removal, dressing changes and to gage how the incisions are healing. Contact outside of the visits are via regular WhatsApp, again checking up on me regularly and always quick to respond to any questions or concerns – I have never felt abandoned during this journey.
All costs are upfront, any extra’s – dressings, medicines are forewarned. You are told the good and the bad about surgery, about after surgery, your expectations vs reality so there are no surprises. You will know how your journey could look.
I would 110% recommend Dr. Chia. Having had an experience with another surgeon I can say with unquestionable doubt, you will not regret your decision to have Dr. Chai take care of you.
