Dr Ivan Puah has seen a rise in expat patients who need help with various issues. The impact of COVID on businesses and job security, along with general fear-mongering, has affected the mental health of many. Dr Puah talks us through the various scenarios and what he recommends.

Because no two bodies are alike, liposuction cannot be done in a cookie-cutter fashion. Body fat features, thickness, and distribution, like fingerprints, are unique for each individual.

If you do not do your homework well, your liposuction procedure may end up needing corrective surgery – or worse, costing you your health.

We can’t run from heat and humidity in sunny Singapore but skin chafing is made worse when there’s fat accumulation in the thigh area. This type of fat is notorious for being incredibly easy to gain but extremely difficult to lose.

An increasing number of men over 35 are moving from basic grooming such as eyebrow shaping and skincare, to aesthetic treatments like wrinkle-smoothing, commonly known as ‘Brotox’. They also seek cosmetic surgeries such as facial liposuction and gynecomastia surgery.

Fat cells will not regenerate in areas where liposuction was done.

This, in turn, may give the appearance of the fat moving from one location to another.

In recent years, fat grafting therapeutic benefits have also been documented in the healing of wounds and scars and its ability to repair damage to (breast) tissues as a result of radiation treatment.

As a startup founder, a thousand problems (and potential ones too) plague you daily, but now, taking care of your diet and weight could potentially be one less off your never-ending list of to-dos.

We got in touch with Miranda (not her real name), a Singaporean in her early 30s, who boldly decided to take a step in improving her looks and self-confidence by engaging in them for their dermal fillers treatment.

For some of us though, the woes that plagued our teenage years didn’t really leave us. They can be very jarring, especially since the adult years are usually seen to be ones in which we finally get our act together. Here are 5 that I’m sure you’ll still say, “Same here!” to.

It’s common knowledge that people in manual labour, and those constantly out in the sun are more prone to ageing prematurely. But did you know that working in a cushy office isn’t that great a deal either?

Unless you’re George Clooney or Brad Pitt, majority of men do not age as gracefully as they’d like to. But that’s not to say we can’t slow it down and take a shot at ageing like ChuanDo Tan. Let us walk you through the ageing process.

Singaporeans aren’t just working in the workplace, they are also working on their off days, while on holiday and even while they’re supposed to be resting on their sick leave. And the simple reason for this is that we’re simply unable to ‘tune out’ from work.
