Thank you IHH and team for organising this wonderful event for us.
New sport. No paddle. No expectations.
But somehow a silver medal in women’s doubles at the IHH Inter-Hospital Consultant Pickleball Tournament!

My husband took men’s doubles champion, and our amazing colleagues swept mixed doubles gold & bronze. A total 18 of us from Prince Court Medical Centre stood together and became the overall champions. 🏆

Trying a new sport reminded me of what I see every day as a breast surgeon: we may feel alone in the beginning, but we are never alone in the fight.

Some battles are won, some are lost, but with belief, hope, dream, alignment, support, and collective strength, we can move with one purpose!

WE RISE. WE FIGHT. AND WE CAN WIN.

Here’s to trying, fighting, learning, and never giving up.

Breast implants are not considered lifetime devices, but the good news is they do not need to be routinely replaced every 10 years, which is a common misconception. Most women keep their implants for many years without any problems.
Replacement or removal is only needed if issues arise, such as:
• Rupture or leak
• Painful capsular contracture
• Infection
• Implant malposition or exposure
• Significant changes in skin thickness
• Patient choice for cosmetic reasons
There is also a very rare lymphoma associated with certain textured implants called BIA-ALCL. This risk is extremely low, and smooth implants, which are commonly used in reconstruction today, are not associated with it. Awareness is key, if swelling or lumps appear years after surgery, they should be checked promptly. ❤️
Overall, breast implant reconstruction is safe, effective, and provides long-lasting results for most patients, offering excellent aesthetic and psychological benefits.

Honoured to chair a session at the 9th Malaysian Breast and Endocrine Surgery Course 2025, exploring ‘The Insidious Journey of HR+/HER2- early breast cancer.

This is the most common subtype of breast cancer yet its management remains anything but simple. Looking forward to this session with greater nuance, empathy, and precision of care.

“Beautiful People” reminds us that true beauty lies not in appearances, but in authenticity and in the strength to be real, to be vulnerable, and more importantly to rise above what life throws at us.

Thank you, Ee Lin, for being the very definition of beauty and courage. Your willingness to share your breast cancer journey shines a light of hope for so many others walking this path.
