Keluar dari zon selesa, bina jaringan & mula dari bawah.

Satu langkah kecil di Medan, untuk sesuatu yang lebih besar ke depan.

Keloid keeps coming back?

I often see patients with the same problem:
You’ve had injections - it goes down for a while, then grows again.
You’ve had surgery - looks better at first, but comes back.

This is actually common for stubborn (recurrent) keloids.

There are many ways to treat keloids - injections, surgery, creams, pressure therapy, tape etc. But when it keeps coming back, we may need a different approach.

In selected cases, one option is removal of the keloid followed by low-dose radiotherapy, done under oncologist’s supervision.

The goal of this low-dose radiation is to reduce the cells that cause the keloid to grow again.

Not everyone is suitable. It depends on the type, location & previous treatments.

If your keloid keeps coming back, it’s worth getting a proper assessment.

Burn surgery often cannot be delayed. Burn injuries are extremely painful & time-sensitive.

Dah cuba macam-macam...subcision, CO₂ laser, fillers, microneedling...tapi parut tak banyak berubah?

Tak semua parut sesuai dengan rawatan tanpa pembedahan.

Ada kes yang perlukan scar revision surgery untuk hasil yang lebih baik.

Petang ni aku buat scar revision.

Parut dah jadi widened & depressed. Patient dah try CO2 laser, subcision, microneedling but improvement limited.

At this stage, this is a structural defect

The only definitive option is surgical revision but not simple excision.

So aku guna W-plasty:
• Break the straight line
• Redistribute tension
• Make scar less noticeable

Setiap angle kena precise - planning & ex*****on

Concept nampak simple, but ex*****on actually complex.

End goal: bukan perfect skin, tapi scar yang less obvious & more acceptable long term.

Windscreen injury.
Not just cuts but shattered glass everywhere.

Face, scalp, limbs.
Severe tissue loss. Exposed skull.

3 hours overnight - exploring wounds, removing glass, reconstructing.
Finished at 2 AM.

But here’s the reality…
not all glass can be found during surgery.

Some fragments stay hidden.
They may surface later, form a lump (normal foreign body reaction),
or only show up on imaging.

That’s why this must be explained clearly from the start.

Explain early. Explain clearly.
To avoid misunderstanding & potential medicolegal issues later.

Kes malam ini - dog bite wound

“The solution to pollution is dilution.”

Maksudnya bila luka kotor atau tercemar, yang paling penting ialah basuh luka betul-betul dulu.

Irrigation yang banyak selalunya lebih penting daripada stitch itu sendiri.

Lepas luka dah bersih, barulah kita decide sama ada perlu jahit atau tidak.

Luka nampak kecil, tapi bite wound memang tak boleh ambil ringan.

Grateful for the opportunity from International Business Development, Sunway Medical Centre Penang to join a podcast with Tribun Medan, Indonesia.

Indonesia is a very potential market for Malaysia’s health tourism. Since joining last month, I’ve already had multiple patients from Indonesia consult me for various plastic & reconstructive concerns.

Happy to share knowledge, clarify misconceptions & provide proper, evidence-based treatment.

Small steps, wider reach.

From today’s OT at Sunway Penang. Managed a case of extensive extramammary Paget’s disease involving the ge***al region. The urologist performed a wide local excision, which left a defect of about 30 × 15 cm. Reconstruction was done using multiple local flaps together with skin grafting. Always thankful for good teamwork.
