Do You Have Fat DNA? Fight it with Liposuction!

Ever wonder why you can never lose ‘baby fat’ or ‘man boobs’? Here’s why, and a possible solution.

We’d like to say “fat chance”, but if your parents are packing a few extra pounds, the odds are good that your double helix can predispose you to a double chin.

Research in the International Journal Of Obesity estimates that around 79 per cent of your body mass index (BMI) is determined by your DNA, with environmental factors making up the rest.

But don’t panic. According to Harvard University research, if you make sure at least 25 per cent of your calories come from protein, you may lessen the effects of certain obesity-related genes.

Plus, a study from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in the US found that men who ran 3km to 6km a day reduced the influence of genetics on their BMI by 29 per cent.

So what if your best efforts at working out and dieting aren’t giving a killer blow to fats at trouble spots like your chest, abdomen (belly) or waist? Modern Liposuction with the MDC-Sculpt®️ Lipo technique, can help you to remove stubborn and unwanted fat from these troubled zones.

Modern Liposuction with the MDC-Sculpt®️ Lipo technique

Dr Ivan Puah's MDC-Sculpt®️ Lipo technique is a multi-dimensional contouring approach that works on each individual's unique body shape, fat anatomy, fat distribution and skin laxity.

Considering that surgical scarring is a concern for patients, Dr Ivan Puah will keep the incision scars to the bare minimum during liposuction. He creates incisions strategically, to allow efficient access to the three layers of fat.

This surgical technique removes fat thoroughly and encourages better skin retraction, which traditional liposuction fails to deliver. Results from Modern Liposuction with MDC-Sculpt®️ Lipo technique are natural and well-shaped.

The versatility of the MDC-Sculpt®️ Lipo technique enables Dr Ivan Puah to perform a comprehensive 360-degree fat removal and sculpting for the troubled zones such as the abdomen and waists for optimal results.

If you have tried various methods of stubborn body fat but are not achieving the result that you yearn for, contact Amaris B. Clinic at 65364211 or Whatsapp at 91524140 today.
