37 Years Old, Fat Transfer to Breast with Weight 46 Kg. Indonesia, IN

WORTH IT$3,000
I was told by other surgeon that it's impossible to harvest fat for autologous fat grafting breasts augmentation on an extremely slim woman like me weighing just 42 kg until I consult Dr Arthur from Elixir Devie. Dr Arthur not only advises me that it's possible to do so. However, I manage to put on weight to 46kg and Dr Arthur but advises me that I have more than enough fat to complete at least 4 sessions of autologous fat grafting to my breasts! During this very first session, Dr Arthur Tjandra of Elixir de Vie performs liposuction on my left inner thigh and left knee only. I have more than enough fat from these 2 areas alone for injection into both breasts!
As advised by Dr Arthur, it may be worthwhile to use breast pump to prepare breasts for the procedure. Breasts pumps may increase space which allows more fat to be injected, as well as may increase the formation of new blood vessels which may increase the survival of newly-transplanted fat. I bought noogleberry and use it for 1 hour a day for 30 days prior to the procedure to be effective.
Prior to the surgery date booked, I have to answer all the medical questions and information provided will be reviewed by Dr Arthur personally to decide whether you are
an ideal candidate for liposuction. Once he agrees to perform the surgery for you, you still need to go for blood test at lab. Only when your blood test is normal, can you book a surgery slot with Dr Arthur. All these necessary precautions are taken to ensure your surgery as safe as possible.
Dr Arthur only does ONE surgery per day. I felt like a queen, as I am the only patient listed for that day, and i received undivided attention from the surgeon. I stayed 3 days 2 nights in the clinic which is also Dr Arthur's bungalow in Medan. The pain was bearable to me and to my impression the most painful was the moment the sedation was injected. Father surgery, except my inner thigh (lipo area) felt lumpy and numb, the breasts was all right to me. I got to walk slowly for a week due to the lumpy inner thigh. I can resume normal activities after the surgery except sport exercises. Some pics attached for the process of the recovery of my transplanted breast.
Total of 120 cc fat was injected to both breasts for first session. This is what I like the method used by Dr Arthur, inject bit by bit per session rather than over inject which ensures high survival.
Now is 3 months post surgery, I would say 90 percent is fat retained so far. The second session of fat transfer to the breasts is scheduled in another 3 months later.

Dr Arthur Tjandra is not just a cosmetic surgeon, but is also an artist. He puts all his heart and his soul into every single piece of art which he creates. In fact, if you're a patient, you should be glad that your cosmetic surgeon will try his best to create an excellent job; he has the confidence to create a masterpiece out of every single case which he works on! Other surgeons would probably choose 1 out of 100 cases he operated on to be showcased, most would choose only the best one to be showcased. Dr Arthur, on the other hand, showcased every single case he did on his website because every single case was his best work! Every single case was his best output. Dr. Arthur Tjandra provides free email consultations to all prospective and existing clients. I have no problem to reach him for all queries that I have in my mind before my surgery. Dr Arthur Tjandra, is also from Singapore, having trained and worked in Singapore for almost 10 years before he opened a clinic in Medan. His clinic have world-class facilities, and also provide recovery rooms for patients. So, it makes your surgery very safe, as the doctor also stays in the clinic, and is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

HI, how do u know on this noogleberry breast pump and how much u paid each session?
User Avatar
February 16, 2016
Dr Arthur recommended the Noogleberry or Brava system. I opt for former and bought from Noogleberry website and item shifted directly from UK, received within 10 working days, paid £50. Aft surgery I got to reoder another size of the cup ring due to small size no longer can fit the breast frame. For fat transfer surgery, I spent around 3000 per session as I only lipo one area to harvest fat and transfer to the breast. The surgery fee is vary base on how many areas u lipo. Hope this is helpful..

Hi Little Duck. Your breasts look amazing. I just did the surgery yesterday too. As u said the pain was bearable. Thanks a lot for valuable sharing. May I ask after the surgery, for the first few weeks, esp the first few days, did you have to do a lot of massages on your breasts and your liposuction areas as suggested by Dr Arthur to prevent lumpiness? Do you have any tips to maintain the breast sizes? Thanks again for sharing.

Congrats :) I did massage my lipo thigh for 1 mth (using baby oil ). Dr Arthur advised to go braless for at least 2 weeks. However, I try to wear padded tank top all the time except work, if required, I try to wear non wire bra.. I didn't massage my breasts but I continue using Noogleberry breast pump to prepare for my second session soon.
April 2, 2016
Little Duck,
Thanks a bunch for quick response. May I ask for the Noogleberry breast pump, which cup size are yoi using now? I intend to buy one too but now quite sure which cup I should order to cover all the breasts? If you do not mind, may I ask what is your figure now?

I'm using M size now, last time I started with S Currently I'm 32B..
April 2, 2016
Hi you are looking great congrats! Thanks for continuing updates. Can I ask - do you think Noogleberry works as well as BRAVA for transfer prep purposes? I am thinking of ordering it for mine.
User Avatar
April 2, 2016
I have tried Noogleberry, personally feel that it help to create more space before fat transfer provided that you use it consistently at least 1-2 mths before the surgery
April 3, 2016
Thank you! I have almost 3 months so I will try this.

Haiz i feel so sad now. After 3 days my breasts very deflated compared to the moment right after surgery. Not full anymore. The upper part still deflated only the lower part below nipples are fuller. Not quite sure if it is getting better. Dr Arthur injected 150cc into each side. Did u get the the same feeling?
User Avatar
April 3, 2016
Pls give it sometime, perhaps result immediately aft surgery partly due to swelling. As for you now still under recovery, after awhile ur breast will become more natural.. In fact I'm not expect to have drastic change with one session, however I can see my upper part not as flat as prior surgery. When u wear normal push up bra, u may see the nicer cleavage.. Ur desire result may be achievable aft few sessions.. As I believe under inject is better than over inject for better fat retention. Anyway try not to wear wire bra at this moment and continue to use breast pump, hope this is helpful
April 3, 2016
thanks for the advise. I do not have breast pump now , just ordered in 2 days ago as Jennifer told me i did not need to pump my breasts before procedure since I was breast feeding for 2 years. But I did not know that the breast pump is still required after surgery. The item is only with me in the next 10 days. Not sure if it is too late. 1 day after the surgery the upper part is very nice haha. Now all gone. Not quite sure it is because my body absorbs fat very fast haha

I hope in a month time u may feel other wise, be patience k :) The breast pump is helpful for you to prepare for the second session as it help to create more space for the fat to be injected. In addition, it may increase the formation of new blood vessels which may increase the survival of newly-transplanted fat. However I didn't use it frequently during the first 2 weeks as I wasn't sure if I should use it since I was advised not to wear wire bra at that period of time.
April 3, 2016
again thanks a lot for all the advise. Yes will try to keep patient.

Heyda my breast pump is out of stock. Have to wait another 1week. So it would be 2 weeks after my operations . Not sure if it is too late to start pumping on that time:((:((. May you help me measure the diameter of your M cup size Little Duck? Is it more than 20cm? When I order the item, they never put out of stock . Just only almost one day after order confirmation (due to different time zone), the sale girl told me no more stock have to wait.....
User Avatar
April 5, 2016
I encountered the same last time and the item arrived just few days delay in stead of 10 working days. Let me check the diameter as soon as I reach home tonight :)

Hi, I love your breast fat transfer. How is it doing? Has it been retaining all the fat? Any reduction in volume? And how long was your recovery time?
User Avatar
June 17, 2016
Tq, the pain was bearable and it took abt 5 days to recover, so far 90% retention rate .. Looks forward to my third session too ..

Does it take long to move from first consultation to the surgery date?
I'm only going to be back in Indonesia for 2, 3 weeks max.
