MBBS (NUS), GDFM (Singapore), Dip Dermatology (Cardiff, UK)
Dr. Wendy Chuah completed her medical studies and graduated from the National University of Singapore. Subsequently, she went on to finish her post graduate diplomas in Dermatology and Family Medicine.
She has completed aesthetic courses organized by the Dermatological Society of Singapore and Aesthetic Dermatology Educational Group and has obtained certificates of competence in medical laser treatments, intense pulse light, chemical peels, botox and filler procedures; which are recognized by the Singapore Medical Council’s Aesthetic Procedure Oversight Committee.
Dr Chuah’s interest in aesthetic medicine was piqued in medical school, when she was particularly inspired by a story told to her by a plastic surgeon during a tutorial. He related how his patient, a rather shy, young girl, had come to him for breast enhancement surgery. As a plastic surgeon, he had always felt that it was more meaningful to treat patients with burns and deformities. However, when this patient returned to his clinic for the post-operative review, he noted a distinct change in her. She told him how she had always had an inferior complex, and it was so bad that she found it difficult to go for interviews and could not even find a job. After the surgery, she was able to feel more confident about herself, and finally managed to find employment. It was a lesson to us that sometimes enhancing the external beauty of a person may not just be to satisfy their vanity, but can do wonders to their confidence and self-esteem.
Dr Chuah believes that in the ever-advancing field of Aesthetic medicine, she is able to provide safe and minimally invasive treatments for her patients so that they can both look and feel good about themselves.
Outside of work, Dr Chuah finds pleasure in relaxing to good music. She also enjoys dancing, having spent many years in the ballet studio since young. She has done a lot of choreography work, recently for the NUS Rag and Flag performances and also some charity concerts. She also enjoys good food and will travel to any part of the world to satisfy her craving for a delicious meal.
