techniques in lower eyelid rejuvenation, and was the first to develop
ultrasound assisted liposuction as well as non-surgical techniques
of body contouring, such as Injection Lipolysis. Additionally, he has spearheaded
the current trend of non-invasive facial rejuvenation using such
technologies as Intense Pulsed Light, the CoolTouch laser, Fotofacial-RF
(Aurora), the Polaris, Thermage, BOTOX®, MesoBotox, injectable fillers,
the Aptos facelift, the Featherlift, and the Woffles Lift. In the

surgical treatment of birth defects of the head and face, such
as craniofacial deformities, cleft lip and palate, the speech problems
associated with cleft palate, and craniomaxillofacial trauma.
As a renowned and respected industry and opinion leader in the
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.
As one of Asia’s leading plastic surgeons, Dr Huang’s
celebrity status in his field is reflected in regular appearances
in magazine articles and television programs. He was recently profiled
