Breast Implants

I'm very satisfied with Dr. Ng's work (he's a plastic surgeon at Penang Adventist Hospital) and would really recommend him! He's professional, price is reasonable and not pushy.I'm an A - cup, 43 kg and did fat grafting (breast). I'm from KL and prior to the consultation, my enquiries were answered by his nurses with a realistic point of view and gave experienced advice. I've sent my profile to Dr. Ng's work email but it was spammed (as it has photo attachment) so you may want to send to his personal email.On the day of the consultation, besides explaining on fat grafting, Dr. Ng also shared info about breast implants because the result of fat grafting is not confirmed as compared to BA. Fat grafting depends on the survival rate of the fats (about 70%) and how much the breast can take (especially the top part of the breast as the skin is tight), which would end up costing more than a BA (as I'd probably have to do a 2nd or 3rd time to get a B cup).However, I didn't want to have something foreign in my body, I decided to proceed with the fat grafting surgery (please do as much research on your own and listen carefully to what the surgeon say he is able to do) on the day itself as he quote me a reasonable price (cheaper than KL or going to Korea). Dr. Ng respected my decision and quickly made the arrangement with his team. They were very professional in all arrangement (in such short notice!) and confidential (they will not mention the type of surgery openly at the registration area).I'm glad Dr. Ng managed to find fats from my tights even though I weighed 43 kg. I was told by a consultant in KL that it was not possible as I was too skinny and a waste of money, which was not true. The surgery started at 11.30am and ended around 5.30pm (resting time included). Please note on Friday office hours is until 2.30pm, after 2.30pm they will charge RM73/ half an hour. The experience was quite traumatizing as I could actually feel the lipo insertion at one point even though I was put to sleep. Dr. Ng has recommended using waterjet as it's less painful and better for fat transfer (but cost additional 1RMK). I was able to leave on the same day of the surgery as there was no complication. After the surgery, they let me rest until I was able to stand up, they put me in a wheelchair to the entrance. Somehow I was able to get into a taxi to my hotel but I'd advice to get someone to accompany you that day. Please also bring the compression garment to be worn right after the surgery as it's important for fast recovery (have to wear for at least 2 weeks). I was able to return to work on Monday, definitely, won't advise working the next day which I initially thought I could.The 1st week was tough, with the sore, sitting was a pain and seeing the dark bruises on my tights made me sad. It felt numb and I lost some sensation, I could only feel a tingling feeling when I touched it. My breast was looking like a pumped grapefruit and sore (no bruises). After a few days, the fats at the top part of my breast didn't survive, it was back to before. Dr. Ng was very kind to arrange my stitches to be removed a week after with a recommended doctor in KL (paid RM74) as I wasn't able to take leave again. The stitches were healing well and almost unnoticeable (~0.5cm)! Really good skills because he stitched it very clean and tidy. There are 2 stitches on my crotch, 2 on the side of my hips, 2 under my breast and 2 holes under my buttocks for the lipo liquid to be drained out.2nd week the bruises reduced (becoming yellow) but still feeling sore and numb. My left breast is smaller than my right because the bottom part of the left breast didn't survive well. There are hard lumps (size of grapes) in my inner tights but it will go away wearing the compression garment as clarified with Dr. Ng.The 3rd week had just ended, no more bruises, still a little sore but getting back some feelings to my tights. They are both almost the same shape thanks to Dr. Ng's balanced work and the compression garment. My breast measures at 73cm left breast clearly smaller than right. I hope it doesn't reduce further. As it's my own fats, it feels real and not obvious that I've done breast surgery (compare to BA & suddenly having big breast).Can't wait for my 2nd fat grafting, hopefully, my body will accept it better, but I would agree with Dr. Ng and recommend BA as it would have a confirmed result and cost less. Hope my review helps!Thank you again, Dr. Ng & your wonderful team! Satisfied and recommended breast surgeon!

Liposuction

Great doctor! I went to Dr. Ng Hian Chan for tumescent liposuction after I had moved to Penang permanently. My experience with Dr. Ng Hian Chan was superb. He seemed to be very knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable with the thought of having surgery. The staff was friendly, and professional too and I had no problems at all. I got tumescent liposuction done rather than getting traditional liposuction because it is much safer and allows you to heal faster. It has now been over 6 months since my surgery and I love my new body. It has triggered me to stay in shape and exercise even more and more. I highly recommend Dr. Ng Hian Chan! I am absolutely pleased with what Dr. Ng Hian Chan has done for me and can honestly say that he has changed my life.

Breast Reduction

The reply received from Dr Ng was very fast. I received my reply the next day, but unfortunately did not realise this as it went into my spam folder. The clinic was quick to call to check if I am aware of my appointment made. The consultation itself was very detailed. All my questions were answered by Dr Ng with good explanation. I felt that the nurses were very friendly and competent too. I was already told what to expect on the day of surgery.The surgery went well. I was drowsy throughout my first night, but the nurses really took the effort to made me aware when they are administering medications for me and I appreciate that. I was discharged with some antibiotics and painkillers. Throughout the first week the pain was manageable, I was more concern with the weeping of the wound, but there wasn't any pus, so I wasn't worried of infection (I was briefed to look out for this before my discharge). I followed up with Dr Ng 2 weeks after the surgery and since then have continued to my normal activities.

Breast Implants

I had my breast augmentation (BA) done by Dr. Ng about 10 days ago. The surgery went well, as well as the recovery period. I had 440cc round, textured silicone implant placed under the muscle in dual plane. The incision was done at periareolar, and the results are amazingly superb. I never met Dr. Ng in person prior to my surgery and opted for online consultation. He is very responsive to my emails, he answered every single questions and inquiry, without being pushy at all. He also guided me on the implant size needed to achieve my desired perky looking breast. I booked my day-care appointment and surgery date with a deposit. The nurses are so polite and they really understand the sensitivity and privacy upon dealing via phone. On the day of surgery, everything went smooth, from registration, consultation, sizing and measurement, and the surgery itself. Everything was done professionally. I requested for discharge after surgery as my husband came along and he's taking care of me. Dr. Ng provided me with enough medications to help relieve my pain and for recovery. Overall I'm 100% satisfied. I highly recommend Dr. Ng for everyone. Pleasant environment, friendly yet highly professional doctor, nurses and staffs.

Breast Implants

I had breast augmentation with Dr Ng in August 2022. On the day of surgery, I somehow got fever and Dr Ng didn't want to do the surgery to make sure safety first (although I kind of insisted to do it). Fortunately I and my husband had planned to stay in Penang for 12 days so I was able to get them done 2 days before leaving.Now it's been more than 10 months since the surgery, and I and my husband are very happy of the results. We were overly worried before the surgery since this is the first time either of us ever has surgery. But we knew we were in good hands and safe facilities, and having met Dr Ng in person during consultation and a couple other times in the hospital had us feeling safer and not worry anymore.Dr Ng is a kind person, a professional and a master in his skills. I and my hubby are very happy we chose him as my surgeon. The nurses are knowledgeable experienced nurses, the facilities are clean and well-run. Thank you to all the team, it has been a truly positive experience.

Faster than dieting and exercising

Liposuction

I did the stomach and abdomen liposuction about 4 months ago and to-date have lost close to 10kg with waistline reduced about 3cm. All these was also achieved with proper eating habits and exercise after my liposuction. In my case the improvements were faster than the dieting and exercising over the years. The clinic is located within the hospital which provides many other professional services. I am pleased with the results from this procedure and dr. ng and his team who attended were very professional and courteous. I will definitely consider revisiting this clinic in future.
