Dr. Jonathan Lee Yi-Liang
Aesthetic Physician & Consultant Surgeon in Singapore
About Dr. Jonathan Lee
A Surgeon’s Precision. An Aesthetic Doctor's Eye.
Dr. Jonathan Lee is a consultant surgeon and aesthetic physician in Singapore, and the Founder and Medical Director of The Aesthetic Studio Clinic & Surgery.
He trained as a surgeon first — in hand surgery and reconstructive microsurgery, a discipline that demands millimetre precision, delicate handling of tissue and an exact knowledge of anatomy. More than 20 years on, that surgical foundation still defines his work: every treatment begins with a clear understanding of what lies beneath the skin.
Other doctors learn from him, too. Dr. Lee trains fellow physicians in facial anatomy, injectable technique and aesthetic technologies through lectures, hands-on workshops and live demonstrations — and holds his own practice to the same standard he teaches.
Patients come to him for honest, expert judgement: what is truly causing a concern, what is worth treating, and what is better left alone. The result is refined, natural-looking improvement — you, looking rested and well, never “done”.
His philosophy is simple: understand the problem before choosing the treatment.
Areas of Clinical Interest
Where Dr. Lee Focuses His Expertise
Every recommendation is grounded in anatomy and chosen for a clear purpose — never because a treatment is new, or simply because it is available.
Facial Rejuvenation
Restores structure, support and balance by treating the face layer by layer — bone, fat, ligament, muscle and skin — the way a surgeon sees it.
PLLA-SCA Collagen Biostimulation
Gradual, natural-looking renewal that rebuilds your own collagen from within — a technique Dr. Lee also teaches to fellow doctors.
Dermal Fillers
Precise structural support, placed with a surgeon’s knowledge of facial anatomy — for definition and lift, never excess volume.
Pigmentation & Melasma
Accurate diagnosis first, then carefully staged treatment for stubborn pigmentation, melasma and uneven skin tone.
Under-Eye Rejuvenation
Hollows, shadows and eye bags treated according to their true cause — because not every tired-looking eye needs filler.
Acne Scars & Laser Treatments
Lasers and energy-based devices matched to scar type, depth and skin type, for smoother, clearer and more even skin.
“Restore what time has taken. Preserve what makes you, you.”
— The principle behind Dr. Lee’s work
