Dr Tan specialises in rhinoplasty, with a particular emphasis on using autologous materials (derived from the patient's own body) for safer, more natural, and longer-lasting results. His dual expertise in ENT and facial plastic surgery allows him to address both the cosmetic and functional aspects of the nose comprehensively.

After completing his ENT training, Dr Tan spent a year at the Shimmian Rhinoplasty Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, South Korea, a high-volume rhinoplasty specialist centre. There, he gained extensive hands-on experience, performing several hundred rhinoplasties on both Korean and international patients. Upon returning to Singapore, Dr Tan served as a Consultant in the Facial Plastics Service of the ENT Department at Khoo Teck Puat Hospital (KTPH), where he treated patients requiring rhinoplasty for both breathing and cosmetic issues.

Dr Tan left KTPH to establish The Rhinoplasty Clinic, where he now dedicates his time to his passion for rhinoplasty. He leverages his extensive experience, which spans more than a decade and includes thousands of rhinoplasty surgeries, to provide life-changing results for his patients.

Dr Tan believes in a holistic approach to rhinoplasty, where the nose should not only look good but also function well. His background in ENT gives him a unique understanding of the internal nasal structures, enabling him to enhance both the form and function of the nose.
