5 Most Popular Cosmetic Surgeries In Malaysia

It’s no surprise that plastic surgery procedures have been gaining popularity over the last decade in Malaysia. Although, newer non-invasive cosmetic procedures have been introduced, the conventional “nip and tuck”, in other words going under the knife.

There’s obviously a debate as to how safe plastic surgery or more importantly is it even necessary?

My thoughts are, I would never ever encourage someone to undergo a plastic surgery procedure. However, if there’s something about appearance that is bothering you or beating down at your confidence. Then, by all means do... with extreme caution of course.

Here are the FIVE TOP most common/popular cosmetic surgery procedures in Malaysia:

I didn’t even know this was even a thing, but the hollows under your eyes can disappear by injecting dermal filler called Radiesse. This minimal invasive procedure can last up to 9-12 months and will instantly leave you looking ten years younger.

4. Liposuction (Yikes!)

Malaysia is known is one of the fattest countries in Southeast Asia. Therefore, it’s no surprise that it’s a favourite. Liposuction consists of making incisions to certain areas of the body to drain out the access fat. Whether or not liposuction is for you, be sure to have a certified medical cosmetic surgeon for this procedure. 

3. Rhinoplasty (Nose Job)

In this day and age, getting a nose job is like getting your eyebrows waxed. It’s so common especially in the Asian culture especially following the wave of K-POP. Although rhinoplasty is considered an easy and straight-forward procedure there are still several risks involved.

2. Breast Augmentation

Whether it’s using implants, fat transfer to increase the size or reduce the size of this procedure is what women are dying to have. It may seem scary but a boob job have come a long way since the 1920s, where sex workers would inject their breast with silicon during World War II. Now, breast augmentation are a favourite all over the world including Malaysia.

Blepharoplasty was used to improve saggy eyelids but now the surgery is commonly used to transform what is known as “monolid” to “double eyelid”. Better known as the Asian blepharoplasty. For bigger looking eyes, several simple surgical techniques will be made. Although, it’s considered a minimal surgery, it takes years for a surgeon to master the right surgical skills to achieve natural looking eyes.
