Dr Ivan Puah B.K.

OUR DOCTOR

Dr Ivan Puah B.K. was an ASEAN scholar. He completed his M.B.B.S. from the National University of Singapore and accumulated vast experience in surgery and clinical patient care.  

Amaris B. Clinic was founded in 2004 on the belief that health is beauty and beauty is health. Since then, it has grown into a multi-disciplinary practice that incorporates medical aesthetics, surgical body sculpting, and fitness-related services such as pain management all under one roof.

Dr Ivan Puah believes in constantly equipping himself with knowledge and skills to provide patient care beyond just medical aesthetics. Throughout his 25-year career, he has separately obtained Graduate Diplomas in various medical disciplines, including Dermatology, Acupuncture, and Sports Medicine.

DEDICATED TRAINING IN VASER LIPOSUCTION, LASERLIPOLYSIS & GYNECOMASTIA SURGERY

Dr Ivan Puah obtained his Vaser liposuction training (Fundamental & Advanced Body Sculpting) in Colorado and Argentina under Dr Alfredo Hoyos and Dr John A. Millard. He is trained in Laserlipolysis in Italy and, syringe liposculpture, fat grafting and thread lift by French plastic Dr Pierre François Fournier. He is the only doctor in Singapore to receive dedicated surgical training in gynecomastia surgery in San Francisco.

BODY SHAPING IS AN ART FORM - 30% SCIENCE, 70% ART

With over 17 years of liposuction and body sculpting experience, Dr Ivan Puah believes liposuction should not be done in a cookie-cutter manner without aesthetic considerations. Each patient has unique fat, skin, muscular, and skeletal anatomy, influencing body shape and appearance.  

Therefore, surgical fat body sculpting requires theoretical knowledge, practical experience, and artistic know-how of body shaping. Equipped with the skills to identify such unique anatomy and his proprietary surgical techniques allow Dr Ivan Puah to consistently achieve satisfying and optimal patient body contouring results.

MODERNISING LIPOSUCTION & GYNECOMASTIA SURGERY TECHNIQUES

360°GTD® technique is a method Dr Ivan Puah has developed to improve the cosmetic outcome and reduce side effects and scarring for his gynecomastia surgery patients.

Dr Ivan Puah has also developed the MDC-Sculpt® lipo technique, a multi-dimensional fat removal and body sculpting approach customised to work on each individual's unique body shape, fat anatomy, musculature, and skin laxity.

INDIVIDUALISED CARE

Each patient is unique, and so are their preferences, needs, and wants. Dr Ivan Puah's meticulous and his team's personalised approach has helped ease and alleviate many patients' worries and concerns. Each advice and recommendation is based on the individual's goals without compromising their well-being.

"Integrity is what we do, what we say, and what we say we do '' is a quote by Don Galer that Dr Ivan Puah holds on firmly to. For over 17 years, Amaris B. Clinic has been actively involved in various community outreach projects, including supporting Kwong Wai Shiu Hospital, Riding for Disabled Singapore, and The Children's Society. Internationally, Dr Ivan Puah provides medical aids, health check-ups, and support to Wat Don Chan Orphanage in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
