In the 1980s, enhancing one's pair of breasts with own body fat was a popular procedure. Since then, the technique of harvesting one's extract fat cells and injecting the centrifuged fat into a face or body part has been refined. Fat grafting is a popular treatment in women whose breasts have lost volume and shape from breastfeeding.
The ADR-C Breast Enhancement is:
• A natural solution to restore subtle volume and improve skin texture.
• A minimally-invasive treatment for those seeking an alternative to breast implant which usually carries a higher risk of infection and rejection.
The treatment works by removing fat tissues using the micro-lipo technique from parts of the body where there is a substantial amount of fat. These include the thighs, abdomen and saddlebags. The fat is centrifuged to maintain the integrity of the fat cells. It is then injected into the areas in the breast where the volume is lacking. Over time, the fat cells integrate into the surrounding breast tissue, resulting in more defined and firmer breasts.
ADR-C Breast Enhancement utilises your own body fat which eliminates the risks of ruptures, leaks or shifts usually associated implants. Additionally, recovery time is also much quicker compared to the standard breast implant surgery.
ADR C Breast Enhancement (Fat Grafting to the breast) is a natural way to enhance the size and improve the shape of the breasts. Most patients find that the results of their procedure are very long-lasting.
About 50% to 70% of the fat transferred will be retained in the body while the rest will be absorbed naturally.
Autologous Fat Transfer Surgery is an excellent alternative to breast implant procedures. One of the preferred treatments for fat transfer treatments, autologous fat transfer surgery uses liposuction to remove unwanted fat from a body part (such as thighs, buttocks or tummy) and inject the harvested fat into the breasts for natural-looking results and cup size increment.
Autologous Fat Transfer can also be used to replace volume loss due to ageing or weight loss under the eyes or sunken cheeks.
As the treatment utilises your own body fat, it is safe with no risk of rejection often associated with implants. At Amaris B. Clinic, patient safety and wellbeing are our top concerns. Full details of possible complications, side effects, expected results will be discussed and explained during consultation with our doctor.
Dr Ivan Puah has more than 20 years of clinical practice in medicine. He is also personally trained by French plastic surgeon, Dr Pierre Francois Fournier, on syringe fat grafting, in Singapore.
Results will continue to improve, as the implanted fat becomes part of your breasts during the months after. You can expect soft and natural looking results. Areas of the body that the fat is harvested from are left with greater definition and an improved overall shape.
The typical recovery period for fat removal via VASER Lipo is just a few days. The breasts may feel sore due to the volume of fat injected. You will likely experience some mild swelling and bruising around the incision sites.
Oral medications are dispensed to the patient to improve the comfort level for the first couple of days post-op. Daily activities are unlikely to be affected; though strenuous activities and water activities should be avoided for 14 to 21 days to allow the treated areas to heal.
Do not sleep on your stomach during the recovery period as this will place excess pressure on the breasts, which may adversely impact the results.
Unlike revolumisation treatments like dermal fillers or implants, using ADR-C Breast Enhancement has no allergic reaction, complication or rejection since it uses the patient's very own body fat.
Results are also very natural looking since no artificial products are used. Those who have undergone breast transfer are very pleased with the results.
This 2-in-1 treatment not only volumises the breasts, but it also reduces fat from the body part that the fat is extracted from, using liposuction. When using VASER Lipo as the choice for liposuction, the skin texture and laxity will also improve as VASER Lipo stimulates collagen.
Costs of fat grafting to breasts varies between different practices. Everyone's body, personal needs and goals vary. As such, the price of ADR-C Breast Enhancement can only be determined in-person with a clinical assessment and consultation with the doctor. At Amaris B. Clinic, we recognised that no one body is the same, so you can be assured your treatment is personalised and tailored according to your body shape and expectations.
If you are considering a fat grafting procedure, your choice of doctor will have a definite effect on the success of your surgery. Dr. Ivan Puah was amongst the first few in Singapore to offer fat grafting to the body and face back in 2008.
In addition to experience, Dr Ivan Puah uses the VASER System, a type of ultrasonic-assisted liposuction system to "shake" the fat cells loose from the surrounding tissues while preserving the integrity of the fat tissues which will be subsequently transferred to the breasts via injection. The technical and surgical approach undertaken by the doctor will also determine the results. Hence, ADR-C Breast Enhancement is a fully customised treatment for each individual, based on her clinical condition, fat amount extracted, quality of removed fat and expectations.
VASER Lipo and VASER Hi-Def Lipo were first introduced into Singapore in 2008 and quickly became one of the most sought after liposuction locally and worldwide. Dr Ivan Puah had undergone VASER Fundamental (VASER) and Advanced Body sculpting training (Vaser Hi-Def) conducted by Dr. John Millard and Dr. Alfredo Hoyos, who pioneered the VASER Lipo procedure. He has also received training and guidance in syringe liposculpture, fat grafting and thread lift by French plastic surgeon, Dr. Pierre François Fournier.
To perform VASER Lipo, doctors have to receive substantial surgical training, especially in liposuction and have to be VASER certified. With more than 15 years of liposuction experience under his belt, Dr Ivan Puah is accredited and licensed by the Ministry Of Health Singapore to perform liposuction procedure and is also a VASER certified physician.
