Team Beverly Wilshire
Beverly Wilshire Medical Centre (BWMC), Malaysia’s award-winning centre of excellence in plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine, marked Malaysia Day with a resounding success. The Malaysia Day Super Promo held on September 27th attracted full house participation, reflecting the centre’s continued leadership in making advanced medical aesthetics accessible, safe, and transformative for both local and international patients.
As part of the day’s celebrations, BWMC hosted a landmark panel discussion titled “Is Plastic Surgery the New Self-Empowerment?” Moderated by media entrepreneur and lifestyle commentator Ethel Da Costa, the panel featured Malaysia’s renowned plastic surgeon Dr. M. Nasir Zahari and aesthetic medicine specialist Dr. Wong.


The discussion moved beyond aesthetics into deeper questions of identity, innovation, and empowerment. Dr. Nasir emphasized how plastic surgery today is no longer simply corrective, but creative: “Patients want to look like themselves, but better. It’s about aligning identity with confidence.” Dr. Wong added perspective on the rise of “prejuvenation” among younger generations, framing it as
both empowerment and a proactive approach to wellness.
Key themes of the panel discussion included:
- From Correction to Creation: How plastic surgery has evolved into a lifestyle choice and tool for self-expression.
- Empowerment Through Identity: The growing demand for procedures that support self confidence in both men and women.
- Technology & Innovation: Advances that make aesthetic medicine safer, more precise, and more accessible.
- Future of Wellness: The integration of aesthetic care into everyday self-care routines.
The interactive Q&A session further highlighted audience curiosity about the balance between self-expression and medical responsibility, the evolving male-to-female ratio of patients, and the role of
cosmetic procedures in Malaysia’s booming medical tourism industry.


Howard Ng, CEO of Beverly Wilshire Medical Centre, said: “Malaysia Day is a powerful reminder of how far we’ve come as a nation, and Beverly Wilshire is proud to contribute to that progress by leading in both medical excellence and innovation. The successful response to our Super Promo demonstrates the strong demand for trusted aesthetic healthcare in Malaysia. As the global market for medical tourism continues to grow, events like this position Beverly Wilshire at the forefront — not only as a healthcare provider, but as a driver of Malaysia’s competitiveness in the regional and international marketplace. The Malaysia Day Super Promo was met with enthusiasm, underscoring Beverly Wilshire’s reputation as a trusted destination for Malaysians and international patients seeking world-class expertise in plastic surgery and aesthetics.”
