What Is ADR-C Buttock Enhancement (Buttock Fat Grafting)?
When it comes to the Gluteus Maximus or more commonly known as the Buttock, according to a survey, most women like being complimented on their butts. Some men do too!
With ADR-C Buttock Enhancement (Buttock Fat grafting) procedure, there are no ifs, just 'butts' in achieving that dream posterior. It is a natural solution to enlarge and achieve subtle lifting of the buttocks instead of implants, which carries a higher risk of rejection.
HOW DOES ADR-C Buttock Enhancement (Buttock Fat Grafting) WORK?
The ADR-C Buttock Enhancement (Buttock Fat Grafting) is an all-in-one comprehensive procedure that not only increases buttock size but it also contributes to a slimmer body silhouette.
Fat Harvesting
Utilising Dr Ivan Puah's proprietary technique - the MDC-Sculpt® Lipo technique, our doctor harvests excess fat tissues from your body's donor site.
Fat Purification
The harvested fat undergoes thorough purification, to preserve the integrity of the fat cells.
Strategic Re-Injection
The purified fat is transferred into the buttock areas across different planes. Over time, the fat cells seamlessly integrate into the surrounding buttock tissue, resulting in more defined and firmer buttocks.
Results
Natural and enduring results with minimal incisions and scarring.
ADVANTAGES OF Buttock Fat Grafting
Natural and Safe
Unlike synthetic fillers or implants, ADR-C Buttock Enhancement poses no risk of allergic reactions or rejection as it utilises the patient's own body fat.
Natural-looking and long-lasting results
Patients who undergo fat grafting to the buttock express high satisfaction with the natural and soft buttock enhancement.
Dual Benefits with 2-in-1 Treatment
This innovative procedure not only enhances buttock volume but also simultaneously reduces fat from the donor site, contributing to a well-contoured and slimmer body.
Personalised and Unique Results
Since the patient's own fat is used, results are tailored, ensuring a unique and natural appearance that complements each individual.

What factors make someone a suitable candidate for fat grafting to the buttocks?

What is the recovery process after ADR-C Buttock Enhancement (Buttock Fat Grafting)?
You will likely experience bruising and swelling in the areas where fat tissues are extracted for a few days to a week. Your buttocks may be bruised and swollen due to the fat grafted in, but the discomfort and pain are manageable in most cases.
Soreness can last for approximately one to two weeks after the surgery. You may be able to return to work in a few days. Most bruising and swelling will be resolved in a few weeks.
Avoid putting pressure on the buttocks, and sleep on your front. Avoid excess lifting or lower body activity during the recovery period.

Dr Ivan Puah's Unique Fat Grafting Approach
Uniform distribution is vital to avoid fat cell clumping, which can lead to risks such as cysts, calcium compounds, and fat necrosis. When fat cells clump together, it increases the risk of complications.
Injecting an excessive amount of fat or inadequate dispersion can result in fat cell death, leading to complications like cysts, calcium compounds, and fat necrosis. Dr Ivan Puah's adeptness in injecting fat prevents these risks and ensures favourable results.
Maintaining an optimal balance during fat injection is critical. Injecting beyond a certain amount can elevate pressure, restricting oxygen and nutrient supply, and reducing the rate of fat engraftment. Dr Ivan Puah skilfully injects fat until it reaches optimal pressure, ensuring the fullest volume and optimal results.
Dr Ivan Puah's unique fat grafting technique involves dispersing fat particles in small amounts between living tissues, preventing clumping and ensuring optimal fat engraftment. The strategic injection points play a crucial role in preventing side effects and promoting even distribution.
Dr Ivan Puah
Dr Ivan Puah has close to two decades of liposuction experience and is the Chairman of Lipo Peer Review Committee. He was amongst the first few doctors in Singapore to offer fat grafting to the body and face back in 2008. He has received surgical training and guidance in syringe liposculpture, fat grafting and thread lift by French plastic surgeon, Dr Pierre François Fournier.
