Gynecomastia diagnosis involves a medical evaluation by a doctor to identify the condition affecting the chest. There are various methods to confirm. Read on.
The mean age of men seeking gynecomastia surgery at Amaris B. Clinic Singapore was 33. However, recent years have witnessed a notable increase in older male patients above 42, with the oldest being 70.
As the demand for medical aesthetics and cosmetic surgery continues to grow, Dr Ivan Puah, a liposuction and aesthetic doctor from Amaris B. Clinic, identifies a distinct shift in consumer needs in Singapore.
Lately, a question often asked, which begets a scratch on the head, was…"I read about scarless gynecomastia surgery online; can you do that? Can you guarantee that there will not be any scars after the surgery?"
The first extensive patient data collection and analysis carried out by Dr Ivan Puah and his team at Amaris B. Clinic in Singapore, the data of 554 gynecomastia patients reveals a higher prevalence of gynecomastia in patients with higher BMI and its association with the severity of the condition.
What Is Gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia, also known as "man boobs", is a common condition in which boys' and men's breasts swell and become larger than normal. It is caused by an increase in the amount of breast gland tissue brought about by an imbalance of estrogen and testosterone hormones. It occurs in 65 to 70 percent of boys and men worldwide and can affect one or both breasts.

"Gynecomastia botched cases are more common than most people think. Patients for whom I have carried out revision surgery include those who have had gynecomastia surgery done using liposuction without gland excision or insufficient gland excision and liposuction done."
Men’s body shapes have changed over the years – perhaps due to the type of exercise undertaken (no more riding out to battle on your steed!) to the level of mobility (far less hunting and gathering), along with the food eaten, and possibly even hormone levels (man boobs). All of these can impact how a man looks physically, and also his confidence.
When it comes to thinking about what
Lately, we've been fiercely swamped with advertisements promoting fat freezing to tackle enlarged male chests, clinically known as gynecomastia, which affects nearly 60% to 70% of males. And it got us thinking... "Is it possible to treat a medical condition with fat freezing?"
Can the male breasts be enlarged if you consume meat that has been treated with growth hormones?
At Amaris B. Clinic, we believe that everyone deserves to look and feel good. Accordingly, the extensive range of treatments we provide does accommodate to a man’s needs as well. Consequently, we have been seeing a rise in the number of male patients seeking appearance improvements and in addressing clinical issues like gynecomastia.
Many things in life are best enjoyed shirtless; swimming, sunbathing by the beach and hanging out with your friends at an evening barbeque. The enjoyment of these fun and worry-free times are often interrupted or even eliminated altogether by depleted confidence levels due to enlarged male breasts.
Liposuction is more than just what meets the eye. It is a procedure that combines science and art.
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.
Body sculpting and liposuction are used by men (as well as women) to get them into a shape they feel good about. It’s important that you come out looking better than when you went in! Unfortunately, there have been plenty of botched liposuction procedures and also fat freezing and cosmetic procedures that have gone wrong. Many of the ones being corrected here in Singapore were carried out in diffe
“Man boobs”, or enlarged male breasts, are actually more common than we think. As man boobs generally cannot be hidden under clothing, it can bring about psychological distress to the individual affected by it. 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 th
Singaporeans aren’t just working in the workplace, they are also working on their off days, while on holiday and even while they’re supposed to be resting on their sick leave. And the simple reason for this is that we’re simply unable to ‘tune out’ from work.
To help you understand this medical condition, let’s take a closer look at gynecomastia, and another condition that is often mistaken to be a genuine case of gynecomastia, known as pseudogynecomastia.
Many men are now feeling more comfortable going to aesthetic clinics to look better –or “looksmaxxing” as it has been coined. The Amaris B Clinic team talks us through this trend and what you – or your husband – can consider.
