​We all have some extra flab in particular areas of our bodies. Whether it’s the lower arms, tummy or thighs, these pesky bits of fat often don’t budge with the regular exercise or diet. And, if you’re thinking about spot reduction, no, it won’t cut it, either.

From face tweakments to body contouring procedures, these are the rising aesthetic trends in 2021 according to Dr. Ivan Puah.

Having enlarged man boobs (male breasts) may be embarrassing and uncomfortable but it is an unfortunate fact of life for many men.

One of our body's common (some would say problematic) areas is where stubborn fat resides in the belly. Before we dive into what we can do to reduce belly fat, let's first understand what it is.

If exercise and diet have not been effective in ridding your body of stubborn fat pockets, then liposuction may be one option to consider, if it’s medically suitable. But how do you know if it is? Dr. Ivan Puah of Amaris B. Clinic answers your questions.

Here's everything you need to know, including an effective solution that may help you get rid of stubborn fat that can’t be removed with diet or exercise.

Our fat cells do not increase as we grow older - fact or fiction?

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.

Men care about their physical appearance no less than women. They tend to stay silent about their negative body image insecurities and rectify these issues themselves by resorting to extreme dieting or engaging in unhealthy weight control behaviours.

From supplements and massages to workout routines, these tricks are no more than myths and old wives' tales that do little to help you achieve the perfect bosom you desire.

The struggle is real. “Thunder thighs” is just one of the unfortunate names our less-than-slim thighs have been called.
