My son had an accident while playing on an electric scooter, which caused the skin above his lips to peel off. We were extremely worried, especially since a poorly done stitching could have resulted in lip distortion. We brought him to Island Hospital, where Dr. Darren Khoo attended to him. Dr. Darren was very professional and honest—he explained the worst-case scenarios to us, which initially made us anxious, but we appreciated his transparency. Thankfully, he did an excellent job with the operation. The stitching was done with great precision, and my son’s lips healed without distortion. While there is a scar, it has improved significantly and is much better than we expected. We also saw Dr. Darren a few times for follow-up visits. He gave us clear and helpful advice on scar care, which really helped with the healing process. He pays attention to detail and genuinely cares about his patients. We’re very grateful for his expertise and dedication. Highly recommend Dr. Darren Khoo for anyone in need of careful and skilled treatment.
