Dr. Ivan Puah


In 2004, when aesthetic medicine was still in its infancy, I founded Amaris B. Clinic.

Accredited by the Ministry of Health Singapore to perform surgical body sculpting procedures, I obtained VASER® Body Sculpting training in Colorado and Argentina.

I also received training and guidance in syringe liposculpture, fat grafting and thread lift by renowned French plastic surgeon, Dr Pierre Francois Fournier.

I further hone my surgical skill in gynecomastia surgery in San Francisco under the mentorship of Dr Miguel Delgrado.
