CNA938 Rewind - Infections, scarring, tissue loss: The dark side of botched cosmetic works
The Health Ministry has investigated around 90 cases of unauthorised people performing medical procedures between 2022 and 2024 – a 40 per cent increase from 2020 to 2022. For licensed clinics this means they have to step up their offerings but sometimes at a cost. Andrea heng and Hairianto Diman speak with Georgina Poh, a patient of botched cosmetic surgery and Dr Tan Ying Zhou, founder & medical director, Mizu Aesthetic on measures in place to ensure safety for his patients seeking cosmetic treatments.
