In Dr. Kan Hwee's own words

How Dr. Kan Hwee describes their own approach, from their Instagram posts. Each statement links to the original.

Approach

  • The practice strives to provide meticulous attention to detail.
  • The practice is committed to prioritizing patient confidence, well-being, and trust.
  • People age differently. So based on which area needs rejuvenation the most, that's the area that we concentrate on

Specialization

  • Many earlobe repairs and select keloid treatments can be performed in the office.

Technique

  • My personal opinion and my personal favorite is to use a short scarf facelift incision and use dual vectors
  • For the under-chin area with platysmal banding and fat deposition, Dr. Kan Hwee prefers a direct approach with a short submental scar, allowing complete deep compartment contouring, including sub-platysmal fat and muscle division to address neck bands.
  • By carefully planning the incision within the hairline, I was able to remove the mass while keeping the scar well concealed

Consultation

  • Let me tell you a few things that we'll talk about in your consult to make sure you're ready to go
  • During consultation, the practice asks about a patient's overall health and wellness.
  • If you’re considering reconstructive or aesthetic surgery, our team is here to help

Recovery guidance

  • We'd also want you to be able to relax so you'll have time to recover after surgery. Depending on the procedure, that does vary, but at least have a couple of weeks where you can take it easy or some time off from work or school

Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Kan Hwee

Sourced directly from Dr. Kan Hwee's social posts and replies.

What does earlobe repair address and what are the expected outcomes?
Earlobe repair addresses stretched, torn, or split earlobes that can result from heavy earrings, trauma, or gauges. It is a relatively quick, small procedure often performed in the office under local anesthesia, designed to restore a more natural shape and contour to the earlobe and make a meaningful difference.

What are ear keloids and how does the practice approach their treatment?
Ear keloids can develop after piercings or trauma and may continue to grow, become uncomfortable, or affect confidence. Treatment is individualized, aiming to remove the keloid while also addressing the risk of recurrence. Many keloid treatments are small procedures often performed in the office under local anesthesia.

What are the medical benefits and indications for breast reduction?
A breast reduction can offer benefits beyond just appearance, enabling patients to return to their desired way of life by improving daily comfort, posture, and overall quality of life. Indications include persistent back, neck, or shoulder pain, frequent headaches, deep shoulder marks, or bruising from bra straps, which can suggest it is medically beneficial rather than purely cosmetic.

What is the practice's approach to breast reconstruction for risk-reducing mastectomy?

Source →
What is the practice's philosophy and expected outcomes for facelifts?
The practice utilizes advanced facelift techniques to address signs of aging, focusing on harmony and balance to restore a natural, refreshed, and elegant appearance while avoiding an overdone look, providing long-lasting results.
Source →
What does the consultation process involve at the practice?
The practice begins every consultation by understanding the person behind the goal, considering a patient's health, lifestyle, and recovery plan as important as the surgical plan. They ask about overall health and wellness, weight stability over the last 6 months, upcoming travel or major commitments, and having the right space and support to recover comfortably. These thoughtful questions lead to safer decisions and better outcomes.
Source →
What type of anesthesia and procedure location are common at the practice?
Many procedures, including earlobe repairs and select keloid treatments, can be performed awake under local anesthesia in the office, allowing patients to avoid general anesthesia and recover comfortably.
