Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), one of contributing factors to dry eye syndrome
Experiencing symptoms e.g. eye irritation, redness, discharge, easily fatigued eyes and blurred vision might be potentially associated with dry eye syndrome. One of contributing factors to dry eye syndrome is meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) defined as blockage or other abnormality of the meibomian glands, tiny oil glands which line the margin of the eyelids. The normal tears are made up of three layers – a lipid layer, a watery or aqueous layer and a mucous layer. If the oil gland openings get plugged up or obstructed, meibomian glands do not secrete sufficient oil into the tears, leading to evaporative dry eye that often causes eye irritation and eye lid infections. Knowing warning signs of meibomian gland dysfunction allows for early diagnosis and appropriate treatments before dry eye syndrome develops.

Injectable medication as an effective adjuvant to reduce weight and regulate insulin in patients with diabetes
Being overweight or obese significantly increases the chances of developing health-related problems e.g. diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia (high blood lipids), cardiovascular diseases and certain types of cancer. A number of clinical studies have indicated that central obesity (abdominal obesity) is strongly associated with the development of insulin resistance, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Without appropriate treatment and lifestyle modifications, central obesity can potentially lead to these chronic conditions, resulting in other serious complications and even premature death.

Liposuction: Contour Your Shape and Restore Your Confidence
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that uses a suction technique to remove an excessive amount of body fat accumulated in specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, upper arms, buttocks, hips, thighs and neck. Liposuction also contours these areas, resulting in a new shape with improved physical appearance and enhanced self-confidence. Nonetheless, accumulated fat in certain areas of the body cannot be removed by liposuction. Therefore, this procedure must be conducted by highly experienced plastic surgeons with appropriate techniques to achieve the effective outcomes and minimize the risk of undesired effects and complications.
