influential and cosmopolitan market of Singapore, Dr Huang runs
one of the largest and most sought after cosmetic surgery practices
in the region. His patient population comprises Singaporeans, expatriates
living in both Singapore and in surrounding South East Asian countries,
and Indonesians. They form an even mix of Asian and Caucasian patients
from a wide variety of backgrounds ranging from celebrities in
the entertainment industry, socialites, company board directors,
and high level executives to middle management executives, working
women and men, homemakers and teenage students.
