Your Personalised Liposuction Journey At Amaris B. Clinic

January 10, 2022

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

It’s no secret that we are all built differently, from height, body shape, to our unique body fat distribution. Excess body fat affects the way we choose to style ourselves, our confidence level, our outlook of life and even our health. Hence, it is a topic that should be addressed.

In the quest to lose targeted body fat, many have tried exercising, dieting, creams, machines, and many other methods, but with little success.

Liposuction, also known as lipoplasty, is still the number one treatment recommendation for effective fat removal, despite competing with many other non-invasive fat reduction options that have risen in popularity over the past 5 to 10 years. Indeed, modern liposuction is no longer a gruesome and scary affair, unlike traditional lipoplasty. Liposuction today can be performed under local anaesthesia as a day surgery, which requires no hospitalisation.

In particular, Dr. Ivan Puah, medical director of Amaris B. Clinic, customises his surgical approach to your clinical condition and unique body shape like no other service provider in Singapore. “Body fat features, thickness, and distribution, like fingerprints, are unique for each individual,” says Dr. Ivan Puah, who is also Chairman of Lipo Peer Review Committee Singapore.

Motivated by the need for better efficacy, comprehensive fat removal and, enhancing and harmonising natural body contours and musculature, Dr Ivan Puah developed the MDC-Sculpt® Lipo Technique. Face, armpits, shoulders, belly, flanks, hips, thighs, breasts (including fat reduction surgery), knees, and calves are some of the most common areas of complaint he addresses.

“Because no two bodies are alike, liposuction cannot be done in a cookie-cutter fashion. With MDC-Sculpt® Lipo technique, I create incisions at strategic locations to reach the fat tissues more efficiently and to achieve a more thorough fat removal for patients,” shares Dr. Ivan Puah.

Treating areas such as knee fat, bra bulges, and armpit fat, as well as cases requiring high-definition sculpting or correcting botched liposuction, is always a challenge, even for the most skilled liposuction doctor.

As an advocate that liposuction is 70% art and 30% science, Dr. Ivan Puah created the MDC-Sculpt® Lipo technique procedure; a novel permanent fat removal and body sculpting approach that allows him to remove more than 90% of localised subcutaneous fat tissues, while tightening loose skin and improving skin elasticity, which is not possible with traditional liposuction. It’s also gentler and less traumatic, which means patients heal faster, with less bruising and discomfort.

Choosing a liposuction doctor in Singapore

Liposuction on delicate body areas is difficult. Therefore, choosing a liposuction doctor should not be a game of luck or dice. Before scheduling a consultation session with a liposuction doctor in Singapore, keep the following in mind:

Word of mouth

An Internet search will yield a list of liposuction doctors, but the best way to start is to get suggestions from relatives or friends, particularly those who have had liposuction. Read the reviews and note what other patients say about the doctor, such as his bedside manners and professionalism.

Compliance level

In Singapore, doctors must observe and follow MOH regulations. The ethics of a doctor are equally as crucial as his credentials.

What you should look out for during Consultation?

Transparent Communication

The consultation should be thorough, clear and well-communicated. It should never be rushed and should not leave you with questions unanswered. Throughout a patient’s liposuction journey, open and honest communication is essential. Doctors should be able to listen and communicate effectively. They should be able to comprehend their patients’ requirements, assuage their fears and anxieties, and confidently answer any questions. Trust is essential, and it must be earned.

Team

Pay attention to factors such as the doctor’s medical support staff’s experience. When did they start aiding the doctor with the procedure? Are they able to provide you with timely advice? When addressing your queries, are they professional, confident, and knowledgeable? Can they allay your fears and anxieties about the treatment and make you feel at ease in their care?

The Doctor’s Experience

An experienced doctor who has performed multiple liposuction operations can address a patient’s demands and anticipate the results. Research thoroughly the doctors you have shortlisted. Consistent outcomes are often a strong sign. Inquire about before and after images and the number of liposuction treatments they perform monthly.

Surgical difficulty

A doctor should ideally have a good eye for aesthetics to visualise the desired-looking results and then materialise them using his expertise. Each body area is unique and needs a distinct approach. This is a problem that a highly seasoned doctor can take on with confidence and reasonable ease.

Patient-centered care

Attention to patient care is a vital need for any medical professional. After all, the patient’s safety, comfort, and well-being are paramount. This rule applies to the whole medical team as well as the facilities. It’s also vital to consider post-operative care and its level of service.

The Perfect Liposuction Candidate

The best candidate for liposuction should have elastic skin and pockets of extra fat tissues, among other factors. It is important to know that liposuction is not a weight loss tool. Instead, it helps to correct disproportionate fat distribution effectively, remove genetically predisposed fat, and improve body shape for renewed confidence and higher self-esteem.

For long-lasting results, patients must also do their part to maintain their newfound svelte figure by eating healthily, exercising regularly, and avoiding unhealthy lifestyle habits.
