Dr Richard Teo

Dr Richard Teo graduated from the National University of Singapore (NUS) in 1998. He underwent surgical and anesthesiology postings at various hospitals before pursuing his post graduate as a NUS Research Scholar at the Department of Ophthalmology. Upon completing his Master’s degree, Dr Teo developed a keen interest in eyelid surgeries and the passion for full body cosmetic enhancement for his patients took him beyond the boundaries of Singapore where he had the privilege of being personally trained by renowned Columbian, Japanese, Korean and Filipino plastic surgeons.

Beside general practice, Dr Teo’s clinical interests are cosmetic enhancement of the face, breast and body. While in Japan, he had the fortune of being introduced to a renowned plastic surgeon Dr Minami, who invented a technically advanced method of creating long-lasting double eyelids and removal of eye bags with virtually no visible scar and minimal down time. With subsequent preceptorship, Dr Teo had been practicing this technique in Singapore with great results. Always an advocate of harnessing the latest technology in cosmetic surgery, Dr Teo was quick to invest in the VASER Liposelection system when it was introduced in Singapore. Dr Alfredo Hoyos – “The World’s Pioneer Renowned Sculptor” in the art form of VASER-Assisted High Definition Liposculpture (VAHDL), also personally trained Dr Teo.

Till date, Dr Teo has performed hundreds of VASER procedures and helped his patients achieved their desired results. Not only is he able to provide bulk removal of fats, Dr Teo’s experience in the VASER-Assisted High Definition system has enabled him to sculpt and contour the body so as to create a ‘muscular’ look for the gentlemen and a ‘toned’ feminine body for the ladies.

In the field of non-invasive Aesthetic Medicine, Dr Teo completed his training with the American Academy of Aesthetic Medicine (AAAM).. Being obsessed with perfection, Dr Teo is extremely meticulous with his work. Regardless if it is a surgery or a non-invasive procedure, he pays such attention to details that he will take as long a time as is necessary to accomplish the required results. Each and every patient is treated as a very different individual and thus there is no routine procedure for him. He takes pride in executing his technical skills and precise judgment to attain the most aesthetically pleasing and natural results.

Dr Teo is not a plastic surgeon but updates himself constantly in the field of cosmetic and aesthetic procedures. He continues to practice Family Medicine at his other clinic, maintaining a good balance between treating the sick and well.
