While men do care about their physical appearance, they tend to stay silent about their negative body image insecurities and rectify these issues themselves. A study has shown that 95% of young adults are dissatisfied with their bodies in one way or another [1], while other studies revealed that patients’ motivations behind cosmetic surgery found three main reasons: to increase their sense of psychological well-being (69.3%), to boost self-confidence (56.6%) and to improve their health (53%). Dr Ivan Puah noticed that amongst the male patients, 20-25% are young adults who have serious body confidence issues. “They are shy and unexpressive, often exhibiting signs of no confidence and extremely low esteem. They also avoid eye contact and are uncomfortable going shirtless during clinical examinations.” We welcome you to make a private consultation with Dr Ivan Puah to address any face, body and skin concerns you may have.

It may seem a little presumptuous and perhaps unfair even to say that wanting a slimmer face is a trend. At the heart of the issue, it’s actually about restoring health or alleviating one’s self-confidence! Did you know that a double chin can lead to sleep apnea and is a symptom of metabolic syndrome? You wouldn’t customarily associate #liposuction with the face, but it is actually effective as a face slimming procedure. Facial lipo helps to remove excess facial fat for a more defined appearance.

Weightlifting is rapidly gaining popularity as a workout in Singapore, and unfortunately, so are weightlifting-related injuries! According to a study, 2.6 injuries are associated with weightlifting for every 1000 hours of activity [1]. #Weightlifting is a discipline that goes beyond sheer strength. It's about maintaining a delicate balance between form, load, and, yes, even ego! Understanding and respecting these factors can significantly reduce your risk of injury, putting you in control of your fitness journey. Applying excessive tension on a specific muscle or tendon, whether in a single instance or over time, can lead to serious injury. Incorrect tension application can strain the back, rotator cuff, and biceps, potentially causing significant harm.

In 2024, Amaris B. Clinic conducted a comprehensive analysis of 554 patients who underwent gynecomastia surgery performed by Dr Ivan Puah between January 2018 and July 2023. The aim was to uncover the various factors contributing to gynecomastia, offering new insights into this medical condition. One significant finding was a link between breast enlargement and increasing BMI. This correlation is not surprising, as weight gain promotes aromatase activity in men, which can lead to hormonal imbalances and cause the development of enlarged male breasts.

It's crucial to dispel the misconception that liposuction is a weight loss strategy. #Liposuction is an effective fat removal and body sculpting procedure that can be used to target areas like the thighs, arms, tummy, and waist and balance out a disproportionate body shape. So, what drives women to do liposuction? Health: It has been scientifically proven that combining liposuction and exercise has a plethora of health benefits, including reducing cardio risks and lowering fat in the blood. Partnership: A study from the University of Aberdeen found that men often perceive thinner women as more attractive. This perception is linked to associations with youth, fertility, and lower disease risk. Self-care: A toned physique indicates self-care; it shows that women pay attention to their bodies and make an effort to take care of them. #Amarisbclinic #aestheticsg #sgaestheticsclinic #drivanpuah
