Lipedema is a chronic, painful fat disorder that causes excess fat buildup in the legs, and it almost exclusively affects women. An estimated 12.3% of adult women may be affected (with regional variation) yet it’s still not officially recognised by the WHO, making true prevalence hard to pin down. There’s no cure, but treatment can manage symptoms and slow progression. Dr Ivan Puah’s take is that the best results come from combining liposuction with ongoing conservative care like compression garments and manual lymphatic drainage massage, not one or the other.

After decades in aesthetics surgery, Dr Ivan Puah says the real motivation was seeing his patients' confidence transformed. Gynecomastia (enlarged male breasts, often called "man boobs"), a condition that quietly affects far more men than people realise, and one that can take a real toll on confidence. Today, we're sharing the story of one patient who didn't just resolve his gynecomastia but actually went on to become a bodybuilder. 💪 Watch to see his journey.

Yes and no, it's a little bit of both. ✓ What icing CAN do: • Reduce puffiness (hello, morning face) • Calm swelling and redness • Temporarily tighten pores' appearance • Soothe irritated skin 𝗫 What icing CANNOT do: • Cure acne or replace your skincare routine • "Shrink pores" permanently • Fix hyperpigmentation or scarring • Be a substitute for actual dermatologist-recommended treatment ! Done wrong, it can cause: • Ice burns • Broken capillaries • Irritated, over-sensitised skin Dermatologists say it's fine as an occasional, gentle depuffing trick but not as a skincare miracle. Wrap that ice cube in a cloth, use it for 30-60 secs max, and don't expect it to replace your actual routine. 👉 Tag a friend who swears icing fixed her skin #SkincareTips #DermatologistApproved #SkincareMyths #GlowUp #SkincareRoutine #FaceIcing #SkinHealth

At 54, a man was chugging 1.2 litres of soy milk daily, about 310mg of isoflavones (a plant-based compound that mimics estrogen) a day, WAY ABOVE typical intake. Over time he developed: • Gynecomastia (Enlarged breast tissue) • Erectile dysfunction • Hair loss in the armpit & pubic area Within 6 months after stopping soy, most symptoms improved except for gynecomastia that stuck around for 2 more years. He eventually needed surgery to fix it. This is one documented case, not proof that soy causes enlarged male breasts in men. Research on isoflavones and testosterone levels is actually pretty reassuring for normal intake. This guy was drinking an extreme amount, daily, for years. Moral of the story? Moderation matters, even with healthy foods.

A 42-year-old woman first noticed a small lump on her left back, about the size of a lemon, roughly 2 x 2 cm. It didn't hurt or limit her movements, so she left it. 3 years later, it had grown to 10 x 12 x 7 cm = nearly the size of a small melon. She finally came to see the doc not because of pain, but because of how it made her feel: • Embarrassed to be seen in public • Anxious about how much bigger it could get On examination: Well-defined, moved freely under the skin, and slipped under the fingers on palpation, a classic sign doctors look for. Painless doesn't mean harmless. A lump that just sits there quietly can still be worth checking early, both for your health and your peace of mind.
