Dr Ivan Puah looks at why men want to make changes and answers some questions on the popular aesthetic and cosmetic treatments for men.

Lately, we've been fiercely swamped with advertisements promoting fat freezing to tackle enlarged male chests, clinically known as gynecomastia, which affects nearly 60% to 70% of males. And it got us thinking... "Is it possible to treat a medical condition with fat freezing?" 

Many overlook or fail to realise that this trend is not a standard of health but more of an aesthetic standard, which places it on precarious grounds, especially when it becomes an obsession.

Why do we get belly fat? Why is belly fat so stubborn? And would liposuction or a fat-burning treatment solve this stubborn fat problem?

"Consultation is the most important part of the patient journey – for many reasons – and I always give my patients the time to get to know what I can do for them and ask as many questions as they need." — Dr Ivan Puah, an MOH-accredited liposuction doctor with over 17 years of facial and body sculpting surgical experience.

Let's untie the knots of confusion below so you can better understand how to achieve your dream body goal.

Dr Ivan Puah details the various presentations of gynecomastia, including its basic anatomy and various gynecomastia grades and how gynecomastia looks like in men of different ages.

Dr Ivan Puah, the founder of Amaris B. Clinic, says that people's first impression of his job is usually “glamorous.” “This is not true,” he laughs and says.

The decision between a tummy tuck or liposuction will depend on your clinical condition, your body goals and expectations. So which is better for your needs?

Many people have tried going on fad diets but they end up on a yo-yo diet, where one loses an amount of weight, and then gains it all back…and then some.

Millennials and Gen Z love instant gratification, and that could be one of the reasons why liposuction is popular. For Millennials who are used to deriving instant results from things like Instagram filters, liposuction’s immediate fat removal is incredibly appealing.
