“You can imagine it’s quite unnerving considering that I have no prior experience personally or by proxy of aesthetic procedures. But with encouragement and relentless persuasion from my wife, I decided to take the first step.”

Men are concerned about the way they look and according to research, even more so than women. Anxiety caused by perceived flaws of their physical appearance is a real issue and men do talk about it at times, among themselves.

7 HR managers were asked to find out if good-looking people really have a competitive advantage than others in securing a job.

Man boobs or ‘moobs’ might sound like a joke or a made-up word even, but for many men, it is a real problem. So why do men get them? Let’s explore some possible causes.

Heads up, gents: you may want to check your chest area after reading this. If you’re suffering from the dreaded “man boobs”, it could reflect a medical condition more serious than you think.

How can we rid ourselves of this dreadful condition? Is gynecomastia a condition that is curable? The truth versus the myth. Today, we tell it all.

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.

Though, there could be two conditions tied up to the common man’s boobs problems: Gynecomastia & Pseudogynecomastia. What is the difference between these two? How is one connected to the other?

If you have gynecomastia — the medical term for “man boobs” — you’re far from alone. In fact, an estimated 30% of men experience gynecomastia in their lifetime, according to a 2014 study.

Men do get it and they know the importance of looking good. However, some become too obsessive in that pursuit, which can lead to other issues.

Because looking good is all about feeling good, having great skin is half the battle won. As your face is the first thing people look at, you would want a well-defined mug that’s ever ready to flash a winning smile.

More men in high-stakes careers such as finance, hospitality and IT are turning to aesthetics and cosmetic treatments to keep pace with the rat race.

A 2017 study by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) revealed some of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures amongst men: liposuction, enlarged male breast reduction (gynecomastia surgery) and tummy tucks.

For most men, Gynecomastia robs away their self-esteem and has become a stumbling block in achieving the masculine male body. But it is more than just the embarrassment of having a flabby chest that should be a cause for concern.

Dr. Ivan Puah answers burning questions by his male patients during consultations in Singapore for enlarged male breasts (both gynecomastia and pseudogynecomastia issues).

Dr Ivan Puah looks at why men opt for body sculpting – and how it can go (and has gone) wrong, including results such as scarring and lumpiness (and a side effect of fat freezing known as paradoxical adipose hyperplasia).

There’s just as much fact as fiction circulating on the internet when it comes to what causes man boobs, or gynecomastia, if you’d prefer the more learned term. Amaris B. Clinic’s Dr Ivan Puah explains what’s true, and what’s not.

Male Nipple Reduction is a well-defined chest accentuated by muscles (and not excess fat) is a physical trait that most men desire. A lot of effort and time are spent to achieve this appearance but at times, results are hard to come by.

Working out might not be enough if you’re suffering from gynecomastia, also known as “man boobs.” Or maybe you want to lose that gut fast, but progress is slow?

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.

The use of anabolic steroids in bodybuilding is notorious to the point of being synonymous. The steroid-induced sculpted ripped bodies come with a price – shrunken testicles, decreased sperm count, baldness, acne and even gynecomastia.

According to new statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, more men are going under the knife – specifically for body-related cosmetic surgery such as liposuction and tummy tucks. As a matter of fact, the same report shows that the number of male breast reduction surgeries has increased by around 30 percent over the past five years! We break down the reasons for the rise of male boobs – otherwise known as “moobs”, or gynecomastia – and give you the lowdown on the solutions available.

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.

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.

Dr Ivan Puah is seeing an increase in older patients in the treatment of gynecomastia. Men above 40 years old who are on prescription medications are more susceptible to experiencing enlarged male breasts. It has been found that statin, amoxicillin, and proton pump inhibitors increase gynecomastia risk.
