While facial lipo is primarily done for a smoother, more youthful contour, it may also play a role in managing sleep apnea for some people. Sleep apnea has many possible causes — anatomy, muscle tone, weight, and more. But excess fatty tissue around the chin and neck can crowd the airway and worsen symptoms. For patients whose apnea is linked to this specific issue, reducing that fat through face and chin lipo may bring real improvement. Beyond that, this procedure can also complement your other anti-aging treatments, targeting stubborn fat pockets that contribute to a tired or aged look, for a sharper, more refreshed contour.

Dr Ivan Puah discusses Anabolic-Androgenic Steroids (AAS), Its usage is recognised as the primary factor in the development of enlarged male breasts; thus, the phrase “bodybuilder gynecomastia” was coined. The hormonal imbalance caused by the AAS heightens oestrogen levels, triggering the growth of breast glandular tissue, potentially leading to gynecomastia. While testosterone and oestrogen levels gradually rebalance over time, the glandular tissue within the breast has already developed, and it rarely regresses without surgical intervention. For those seeking a permanent solution to bodybuilder gynecomastia, gynecomastia surgery is the solution. Contact us for more information today. #gynecomastia #bodybuildergynecomastia

Acknowledging the irony of advising patients on nutrition while struggling with his own weight, he refers to his condition as "stress-induced obesity." Despite knowing health advice, he finds it challenging to apply it to his own life, calling excess weight an "occupational hazard" for doctors.
