I came to Bangkok thinking this would be another symposium to share — but PRIME the Future turned out to be so much more memorable than expected.
I was very excited to take the stage with my long time friend and brother Dr Lim Ting Song, speaking about Ultherapy as a foundational treatment — how getting the foundation right allows us to build a thoughtful, long-term approach to ageing rather than simply chasing individual concerns as they appear.
And for the first time, I shared the stage with Denise Keller. Denise has been my patient for almost 10 years, from the very beginning of Radium. I’ve had the privilege of caring for her through so many chapters of her life — watching her career evolve, seeing her through motherhood, and adapting the way I care for her as her life, face and priorities changed.
Sitting together on stage and looking back at that journey made me realise just how much has happened in those 10 years.
Aesthetic medicine is often spoken about in terms of devices and injectables, but I think the most meaningful parts of what we do are much simpler: knowing our patients, earning their trust, and being there for them over time.
Technologies can evolve, but the relationships we build with our patients can span decades — and that, for me, was what made this symposium unexpectedly special. ❤️
ASLS:
I was back in Bangkok (before the flood!) for ASLS – Aesthetic Surgery & Laser Society, sharing two topics that I feel are increasingly important as our industry continues to evolve.
🧬 Biohacking & longevity: As interest in longevity, optimisation and regenerative medicine grows, so does the noise. We need to keep coming back to evidence-based medicine — separating what is exciting and promising from what is actually supported by science.
💉 Biostimulators: These are powerful tools, but more is not always better. Understanding anatomy, product behaviour, appropriate patient selection and long-term tissue effects is essential. Our goal should never simply be to stimulate more, but to stimulate responsibly and intelligently.
Thank you ASLS Bangkok for having me and for the opportunity to share, learn and exchange ideas with colleagues from across the region!
Two deaths linked to cosmetic filler injections have raised a difficult question: how can a procedure involving filler become fatal?
In both reported cases, the cause of death involved a pulmonary embolism—a blockage in the blood vessels of the lungs. In this video, Dr Siew explains how injected material can reach the lungs, why this complication is so serious, and what these cases can teach us about injection safety.
These are rare events, but they deserve a careful, factual conversation.

With Rejuran, injection depth matters.
Dr Siew shares why he prefers deeper placement, and why superficial injections may carry concerns such as induration and delayed reactions.
It’s not just what you inject — but how and where.

Dermal fillers are commonly performed, but they are still medical procedures.
Rare complications can happen when filler affects a blood vessel, potentially leading to vascular occlusion, vision loss or even stroke.
That’s why facial anatomy, injection technique and early recognition of complications matter.
Before getting fillers, know the risks - not to be afraid, but to make a more informed decision.

Years of studying, only to hear the social media team say, “One more take.” 🕺🤦♂️

Always a pleasure to be part of the annual Merz Elevate Masterclass, which brings together experts from across the region to share ideas, techniques and innovative ways of using the Merz Aesthetics portfolio.
This year, I was very happy to speak about skin quality — in particular, how I use Ultherapy and Belotero Revive as part of a combined treatment approach to improve skin firmness, hydration and overall skin quality.
I also had the opportunity to present two of our studies.
The first looked at the BB8 technique for improving infraorbital hollows, an area where achieving a natural result requires careful assessment, precise placement and a good understanding of anatomy.
The second was our split-face study using Belotero Revive, comparing treatment with a needle versus cannula, and looking at the differences in patient experience and outcomes.
I also spent much of the event moderating the different sessions — although, judging from the photos, I may have been the coolest moderator and presenter there 😎. The sunglasses were not entirely a fashion statement: I was still recovering from cataract surgery at the time, so they became an unintended part of my Elevate look.
As always, what I enjoy most about meetings like Elevate is the exchange of ideas — hearing how colleagues from around the region approach the same problems differently, discussing the science, and continually refining the way we treat our patients.
Thank you Merz Aesthetics for having me, and to all the faculty and colleagues who made it such an enjoyable and inspiring meeting. ❤️

A look back at AMSC Malaysia 2026 last month 🇲🇾
I was very happy to be part of the Scientific Committee this year, as well as moderate several sessions and share some of my own experiences on stage.
One of the topics I spoke about was biostimulators — and importantly, that more collagen is not always better. As biostimulators become increasingly popular, we also need to recognise that repeated or inappropriate treatments can sometimes contribute to problems such as overfilled syndrome, tissue thickening and interstitial fibrosis. Knowing when not to stimulate is just as important as knowing how to stimulate.
I also shared my experience with the MultiFrax laser, and why I believe dual-wavelength technology is the future of fractional laser treatments — allowing us to target different depths and different concerns within the same treatment strategy.
As always, the best part of conferences is catching up with old friends, meeting new ones, and exchanging ideas with colleagues from around the region.
Thank you AMSC Malaysia for having me, and to everyone who came up to say hello and chat. ❤️
Korean male beauty standards have evolved beyond simply having a “sharp jawline” or a “small face.”
On this 1-6 attractiveness meter, the differences can come down to facial proportions, structure, balance, projection and how the features work together as a whole.
So what tends to make a face look less attractive at the lower end of the scale - and what changes as we move towards a 6?
Is it the jawline? The chin? Mid-face proportions?
Facial width? Or simply better harmony between the features?
Let Dr Siew break down what this meter is really measuring - and why attractiveness is often more about facial balance than any single feature.
