WHY SUFFER THE IGNOMINY OF LIVING WITH MAN BOOBS


WHEN HELP IS READILY AVAILABLE AT AMARIS B. CLINIC.


GET IT OFF


YOUR CHEST


hiselled from countless bench
presses, nothing quite frames a
proud chest like a pair of well-
developed pectoral muscles to
highlight a gym-trained physique.
For the majority of us, this can
be achieved with enough hard work at the gym
and through watching our diet.
But in some instances, difficulty in
developing an ideal physique doesn’t come from
want of trying, but from a medical condition
beyond our control – gynecomastia (commonly
referred to as man boobs).


AN UNWANTED CONDITION
Yes, men can have breasts too. Unfortunately,
what looks great on women can be
embarrassing for the opposite sex.
Enlarged breasts are typically triggered
by hormonal imbalances – when our bodies
produce more oestrogen than testosterone.

and masculine appearance,” says Dr Ivan Puah,
founder and lead doctor of Amaris B. Clinic.
He adds that the procedure, done at its
dedicated in-clinic surgery room to prioritise
privacy, has a short recovery time, so patients
spend less time healing and more time enjoying
their newfound confidence.

MAINTAINING PERFECTION
For the best results post-treatment, Dr Puah
says that a healthy diet and regular exercise
should be practised.
“If there is sagging skin, skin tightening
treatments such as High Intensity Focus
Ultrasound (HIFU) may be recommended.
HIFU technology lifts and tightens skin from
the inside out. By delivering ultrasound waves
deep into the dermis layer, the treatment is
able to precisely target problem areas without
causing harm to skin’s surface.”
Other treatments such as Vaser Full Body
Sculpting (a form of liposuction) can fur ther
