Shockingly, many consumers still go to unregistered plastic surgeons for their cosmetic surgery procedures. If we wouldn't trust an unqualified car mechanic with our cars, why are we trusting an unqualified plastic surgeon with our face and body? We have written a guide and shortlisted a list of plastic surgery clinics for you below.

Using Google to find the Best Plastic Surgery in Malaysia?

You're likely to start your online research by "Googling" phrases like 'best plastic surgery Malaysia, 'best cosmetic surgery Malaysia', 'best plastic surgeon in Malaysia' or 'best plastic surgeon Kuala Lumpur'. You'll just going to find a list of the plastic surgery clinic websites including advertisements and directories on the search results. How do you know which clinic to choose or whether you have chosen the right plastic surgeon? Bear in mind that the plastic surgeons or plastic surgery clinics high ranking on page 1 and visible advertisements on Google may not be truly reflective of the surgeon's skills, experience and also how 'safe' is the surgeon.

While some of the online sites do provide the needed information; the method in which the clinics or the specialists are selected are not explained. Some of these directories are not aware of the local aesthetic practice guidelines in Malaysia that stipulate who, what and where cosmetic surgeries can be and cannot be done. While you may wish to ignore the guidelines but do bear in mind that the guidelines were designed and developed to protect consumers like you in the first place, whether you are from Malaysia or abroad.

It is also clear from browsing around forums and popular healthcare marketing sites that there is a lot of myths and misinformation being spread. Researching on the internet is not as simple as one might think as misinformation could lead to health scams and even botched surgeries. It may not be practical to make the best decision all the time, but it's important to make an informed decision based on the readily available information on the internet.

There are more than 50 plastic surgeons registered with the Malaysian National Specialist Register. Most of the plastic surgeons are based in Kuala Lumpur, or simply called KL by locals. And just in case you are a foreigner, Kuala Lumpur is the largest city in Malaysia.

So, how do you shortlist the few and verify that the clinic is licensed and the plastic surgeon is legit or has enough training and experience for the procedure/s?

The following are links that would address the questions above:

• To verify the plastic surgeon is a registered medical specialist: https://www.nsr.org.my/list11.asp
• To verify whether a doctor is a registered medical practitioner, go to the Malaysian Medical Council website at www.mmc.moh.gov.my
• To verify whether a facility is registered or licensed under Act 586, call +603-8883 1309 or visit http://medpcs.moh.gov.my

There are too many self proclaimed aesthetic experts out there, but who's to know? That's why the Guidelines on Aesthetic Medical Practice for Registered Medical Practitioners were developed, in order to protect innocent consumers. Please take note that all registered medical practitioners who qualify and wish to practise aesthetic medical practice (including cosmetic surgeries) are required to register under the National Registry of Registered Medical Practitioners Practising Aesthetic Medical Practice in Malaysia.

Next, you should Google again the prospective plastic surgeon’s name and the centre; and add in the keywords ‘forums’ or ‘reviews’ to see what other people have to say about them. If you know a friend or relative who has a plastic surgery procedure done before, do seek their advice.

In general, we would select a plastic surgeon based on experience and training as well as feedback from other surgeons, doctors or patients. It's also important to take into consideration ‘where’ the plastic surgery is to be performed. Major liposuction (liposuction for multiple areas) in particular, requires ‘general anaesthesia’ and needs to be performed in a well-equipped hospital or ambulatory care centre with the presence of a qualified anaesthetist.

Wrapping It Up

You may wish to run through the following as your summary checklist:

• Filter and shortlist your clinics.
• Once you have shortlisted the clinics, book an appointment to have a consultation with your plastic surgeon. Do compare them based on your first impressions and other considerations. Use a table (Excel or Google Sheets) with factors to consider and a scoring for each important factor, if you need to improve your clarity.
• Are they accommodating in terms of appointment time and date?
• Was a solid plan of action determined with detailed information especially post-procedure precaution and care?
• In the event of a possible complication or infection, do you need to pay extra?

And one last precaution, hotel rooms are not meant for cosmetic surgery procedures. 

For international customers, it's recommended that you take up a travel insurance. This is to ensure that in the event of post-operative complication, your hospital admission cost would be covered.
