Consultant plastic and cosmetic surgeon Heng Kien Seng said he had seen a 15 percent increase in male patients in his clinic over the last one and half years while aesthethic physician Inder Kaur said men made up 35 percent of her clients.

"It's a competitive world out there. Women are doing it and unlike before, they are not submissive. They can change partners.
