Another plastic surgeon guilty of professional
misconduct
The Singapore Medical Council has found another cosmetic surgeon
guilty of professional misconduct.
Dr Martin Huang Hsiang Shui, who practises at The Cosmetic Surgery
Clinic at the Paragon, had performed cell therapy involving the
injection of animal foetal cells into patients for anti-ageing and
rejuvenation purposes.
The procedure was not generally accepted by the medical profession,
outside the context of a formal and approved clinical
trial.
Dr Huang pleaded guilty to the charge.
In his mitigation Dr Huang, had stated that he had gone through 6
months of research self-experimentation.
However, the Council’s disciplinary committee felt that whilst he
may be at liberty to try the procedure on himself, he was not
entitled to inflict an unaccepted treatment on members of the
public.
He was fined 5,000 dollars and censured.
Dr Huang was also ordered to give a written undertaking not to
engage in such conduct.
He was also ordered to pay costs of the disciplinary
proceedings.
A cosmetic surgeon has been fined 2,000 dollars for professional
misconduct.
Earlier this week, Dr Jonathan Lee Yi Liang, who practises at True
‘Est in Ngee Ann City, was found guilty of the same
charge.
He was found to have failed to exercise necessary supervision in
the prescription and supply of diazepam, a sedative.
