Many of us deal with problem areas of stubborn fat. Even if we exercise regularly and watch our diet, pesky deposits can still find their way to our arms, thighs, tummy or hips (think love handles, stomach bulge and flabby arms). And often, they just won’t budge!
Thankfully, there’s a solution.
Here, the team at Amaris B. Clinic give us the lowdown on Modern Liposuction With MDC-SCULPT®️ Lipo Technique – a less invasive form of liposuction – and four things you may not know about this body contouring surgery that can permanently get rid of excess fat.
#1 It is not meant for weight loss
Contrary to most beliefs, liposuction is a body contouring surgery, not a weight loss method.
This procedure suits both women and men with stubborn localised fat that fails to respond despite working out and eating a well-balanced diet. It is also ideal for those with disproportionate body shape and seeking corrective measures to improve it. It is not a tool meant for weight loss.
#2 It stimulates collagen production
It is a terrible misconception that the skin loosens after surgical fat removal. Dr Ivan Puah's MDC-Sculpt®️ Lipo technique is a multi-dimensional contouring approach that works on each individual's unique body shape, fat anatomy, fat distribution and skin laxity.
Localised stubborn fat that fails to respond to exercise or diet is removed, while body sculpting is carried out simultaneously.
This approach stimulates collagen production and encourages better skin retraction, which traditional liposuction fails to deliver. Results from Modern Liposuction with MDC-Sculpt®️ Lipo technique are natural and well-shaped.
#3 You can treat delicate areas
Modern Liposuction With MDC-SCULPT®️ Lipo Technique works on almost every body part! It can remove fat and sculpt :
• Face
• Double Chin
• Arms & Armpits
• Female Breasts (Only Fat Reduction, Not Full Mastectomy)
• Outer and Inner Thighs
• Knees
• Upper and Mid Back
• Muffin Top (Abdomen Or Waist)
• Love Handles (Waist)
• Enlarged Male Breasts (Gynecomastia -Fat removal)
• Pseudogynecomastia
• Calves
• Back
#4 Fat is permanently removed in one procedure
Dr Ivan Puah's Modern Liposuction with MDC-Sculpt®️ Lipo technique utilises customised cannulas of varied sizes and smaller suction tubings. The patient is under twilight sedation while the area is anaesthetised locally. He carefully manoeuvres his tools and targets the fat layers multi-dimensionally, removing unwanted fat while sculpting the area and encouraging skin tightening simultaneously. Fat is permanently removed.
Where to go?
Doctors in Singapore must obtain a license from the Ministry of Health to perform liposuction procedures. Amaris B. Clinic’s medical director, Dr Ivan Puah, is accredited by the Ministry Of Health Singapore to perform liposuction.
Having trained to perform liposuction is only the beginning. Dr Ivan Puah believes it is crucial to understand and master the technicalities of the procedure, including the potential complications that may arise. To be meticulous in approach, with a detailed overview and foresight capabilities are essential must-haves for a doctor.
Finding the right doctor with an aesthetic sense is essential to achieving the desired results. A body sculpting procedure is akin to a work of art in progress. The artist's skill, experience, appreciation and understanding of the body aesthetic separate a masterpiece from an average work.
If you have tried various methods of losing fat in a specific area but are not achieving the result that you yearn for, we recommend that you come for a consultation and assessment to understand whether or not you are suited to the procedure.
We welcome you to call and schedule a consultation with Dr Ivan Puah at 65364211 or Whatsapp at 91524140 to understand how he can help you achieve a more defined physique.
