Breast Fat Transfer: What Happens After 5 Years
Breast fat transfer is getting popular due to its efficacy and long-term safety. But what happens to the breasts after 5 years post-breast fat transfer?
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.
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.
Utilising Dr Ivan Puah's proprietary technique - the MDC-Sculpt® Lipo technique, our doctor harvests excess fat tissues from your body's donor site.
The harvested fat undergoes thorough purification, to preserve the integrity of the fat cells.
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.
Natural and enduring results with minimal incisions and scarring.
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.
Patients who undergo fat grafting to the buttock express high satisfaction with the natural and soft buttock enhancement.
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.
Since the patient's own fat is used, results are tailored, ensuring a unique and natural appearance that complements each individual.

When one wants to improve body contour while simultaneously enlarging the buttocks.
When one wants to improve and adjust buttock asymmetry, shape and to achieve subtle buttock lifting.
When one wishes to increase buttocks size but is not keen on buttock implantation.
When one wants to increase buttock volume but is concerned about wide scarring.
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.
Depending on the patient’s clinical presentation, about 60% to 70% of the fat transferred to the buttocks will be retained in the body, while the rest will be absorbed naturally.
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 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.
