Plastic Surgeon
Dr Andrew Tay is a consultant plastic surgeon in private practice. He graduated from the National University of Singapore in 1990, and upon completion of basic surgical training, became a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh in 1995. It was during his basic surgical training that he first became exposed to the fascinating specialty of Plastic Surgery, and this prompted him to enter the advanced specialty training program in Plastic Surgery, at the Singapore General Hospital. He was subsequently awarded the Health Manpower Development Programme scholarship to further his training in plastic surgery and the subspecialty of craniomaxillofacial surgery at the University Hospital Basel, Switzerland.
