Dr Mei-Ying Yeoh provides a case study using STYLAGE® to treat the effects of weight loss.
In recent years, an increasing number of patients presenting to aesthetic clinics report facial changes following significant weight loss – whether through lifestyle modification, pharmacological intervention, or surgery.
