While face fillers are a popular fix, the risk of overdoing them is real and it’s important to know where to get them done well.

One thing that has emerged from the countless video calls is “Zoom face”, a global phenomenon where we’re constantly scrutinising all our facial flaws on camera – eek! So, lets get some advice on how to look good on Zoom?

Before we look at fat reduction options such as VASER Lipo and fat freezing, we first need to understand how our bodies utilise and store energy from the food we consume.

As the world continues to battle with the pandemic, how will it impact consumer behaviour and demands for wellness, aesthetics and cosmetics surgery in 2021? Dr. Ivan Puah, an accredited liposuction doctor and Medical Director of Amaris B Clinic, anticipates these five consumer demands.

While face or dermal fillers are now a household term, do you really know what they actually do? What about the side effects of getting too much injected into your face? Read on to find out…

With a growing consumer demand for nose filler injections in Singapore, reported cases of complications such as vision loss, permanent or transient, are seemingly on the rise as well. Albeit uncommon, it can cause devastating repercussions to the affected patients. The person administering the injection must receive the proper training to recognise the symptoms, implement prompt measures and refer patients immediately to ophthalmologists for remediation to avoid catastrophic complication to the affected eye.

Dr. Ivan Puah, Medical Director of Amaris B. Clinic, who has treated a number of gynecomastia patients, observed that the majority of men who came in with complaints of pseudogynecomastia were shown to have mixed gynecomastia after medical assessment.

To find out if the fitness “tips” commonly dished out by bloggers and influencers are accurate or just plain bogus, we reached out to Dr. Ivan Puah, medical director of Amaris B. Clinic, to separate the good advice from the bad.

From at-home workout sprains and strains to increased pigmentation and wrinkles, dealing with pandemic skin and body woes can take its toll. But not to fret: These treatments will transform you and keep you staying positive as you head towards 2021 and beyond.

It's coming close to a year since the first coronavirus outbreak was identified.Since then, life as we know it has changed - for everyone. Countries went into lockdown, economies took severe beatings and livelihoods were rattled.

In the pursuit of the ideal ripped body, men turn to the anabolic steroid to increase muscle mass. Inevitably, they also develop enlarged male breasts. Dr Ivan Puah's Unique 360 degrees Glandular Tissue Dissection Technique in his gynecomastia surgery can treat this issue successfully.

Gender and age don’t matter when it comes to body image issues, and both women and men do feel pressured to look good. Instead of keeping it bottled inside, we say it’s time for a confidence makeover.

​We all have some extra flab in particular areas of our bodies. Whether it’s the lower arms, tummy or thighs, these pesky bits of fat often don’t budge with the regular exercise or diet. And, if you’re thinking about spot reduction, no, it won’t cut it, either.

As the trend of wearing sportswear even outside of the gym is now becoming a norm, it has also created a ripple effect in individuals who are becoming more image and body-conscious. Many of us are becoming more interested in working out and eating right. Dr. Ivan Puah, medical director of Amaris B. Clinic, also shares his latest observation.

Dr. Ivan Puah, medical director of Amaris B. Clinic, has been seeing an increasing number of male patients enquiring on treatments to improve their body and self confidence.

The ADR-C Facial Enhancement (facial fat grafting), is a natural and minimally invasive procedure at Amaris B Clinic that allows you to transfer your body fat tissue from your flabby belly, love handles or bingo arms, to areas on the face to restore lost volume and plump up the skin, effectively countering signs of ageing.

But with a variety of internal and external stressors that we urban dwellers face on a daily basis, is ageing gracefully even possible?

Having a negative body image perception can be detrimental. Yet, in the pursuit of wanting to look better, an individual is sometimes accused of being vain when the underlying goal is to increase self-confidence and for some, to eliminate a potential health issue.

If you’re plagued by man boobs or “moobs” – scientifically known as gynecomastia – you’re not alone. This affliction, where male breast tissues increase in size, is a real medical condition; it affects up to 65 percent of young and adult men globally.
