Patient's Profile
Ms Lx is a Chinese Singaporean lady in her early 40s who works in the media industry.
Background
Ms Lx, who had previously undergone a successful liposuction procedure, returned to Amaris B. Clinic to discuss her desire for more voluminous and sculpted buttocks.
Assessment and Consultation
During the consultation and assessment, Ms Lx expressed that she felt her buttocks lacked the desired projection and fullness. Dr Ivan Puah conducted a thorough physical evaluation and discussed her goals in detail.
He explained that fat grafting to the buttocks, commonly known as a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), is a two-step procedure: first, liposuction is used to harvest fat from donor areas, and then the purified fat is injected into the buttocks.
The ADR-C Buttock Enhancement not only enhances the buttocks but also slims and contours the donor site, creating a more balanced and proportionate silhouette.
Ms Lx is an ideal candidate for the procedure due to her good skin elasticity, sufficient donor fat from the outer thighs, and realistic expectations.
Dr Puah emphasised that fat grafting is a highly personalised procedure. It is not just a technical process but also an art form.
The performing doctor needs a deep understanding of anatomy and meticulous techniques to avoid complications such as fat embolism or uneven results. ADR-C Buttock Enhancement also requires an artistic approach to sculpting the buttocks in harmony with the patient's body proportions.
He further explained that while some of the grafted fat might be reabsorbed by the body, most of the volume will be retained, provided that Ms Lx maintains a stable weight.
Treatment Plan
Ms Lx underwent fat grafting surgery for her buttocks, tailored to her unique anatomy and aesthetic goals. The procedure took place at a Ministry of Health-accredited Day Surgery Center, with the patient under twilight sedation.
During the first stage, Dr. Ivan Puah performed liposuction to remove fat from the designated donor site on the outer thighs. The harvested fat was meticulously purified to eliminate impurities, leaving only the healthy fat cells suitable for grafting into the buttock area.
Dr Puah strategically injected the fat into multiple layers of the buttocks, focusing on creating a natural and rounded shape while ensuring symmetry and proportion.
Throughout the two-hour procedure, the team’s anesthesiologist closely monitored Ms Lx, and the surgery proceeded smoothly and safely. She was discharged home on the same day.
Post-Op Recovery & Results
Ms Lx was advised to avoid strenuous activities for the first two weeks following her procedure. She was instructed to wear a compression garment to help reduce swelling and support the healing process at the donor site.
Additionally, she received pain relief medication, antibiotics, and scar gel, along with a post-operative care pack that included clear instructions for her recovery. The stitches were removed ten days after the surgery.
Within 2 to 3 weeks, the swelling and bruising significantly subsided, and Ms Lx began to notice the results of her procedure. By the eight-week mark, her buttocks had taken on a more defined shape, and the contours of her outer thighs appeared slimmer.
Why Doctor’s Experience & Artistic Sense Matters in Fat Grafting
Fat grafting to the buttocks is a complex procedure that demands a high level of skill and expertise. If you're considering undergoing fat grafting, here are some important points to keep in mind:
Precision in Fat Harvesting
A skilled doctor in liposuction and fat grafting employs gentle techniques to harvest fat, ensuring the viability of fat cells for grafting.
Strategic Fat Placement
It is crucial to inject fat into the correct layers of the buttocks to achieve natural-looking results while minimising risks.
Safety First
An experienced liposuction doctor understands anatomy well and knows how to avoid critical connective tissues, which helps reduce the risk of complications.
Artistic Vision
Attaining a balanced and proportionate outcome requires an artistic eye and a thorough understanding of the patient's unique body shape.
