This mother of 1 child in her late-30s had fillers injection by a doctor in Indonesia 10 years ago. The fillers never “dissolved” as expected, and she has been having lumpy breasts since then. Her relationship with her husband is strained as her husband complains that her breasts do not feel like breasts anymore. They feel more like rock melons! He starts to look for other breasts to play with outside their matrimonial house.

This woman eventually looked for Dr Arthur Tjandra of Elixir de Vie 5 months ago, who offered to take out the lumps. However, as there were so many deep-seated lumps, it might be a complicated surgery. She preferred to lay a layer of fat on top of the lumps instead, so that when her husband squeezed them, the lumps were not so obvious. This is similar to the case we published on our website back in 2008: Case No. 1. Fillers injection to breasts is unheard of anymore today because of the complications. However, it was extremely popular a decade ago!

Dr Arthur Tjandra of Elixir de Vie performed lower abdominal liposuction and use the fat for her breasts during the first session 5 months ago. She now returns for her second session of autologous fat grafting to breasts, during which Dr Arthur Tjandra of Elixir de Vie harvested fat from her inner thighs.

She is very unhappy with the result of her lower abdominal liposuction which Dr Arthur Tjandra of Elixir de Vie performed for her 5 months ago, accusing him of causing grooves on both sides of her lower abdomen. Dr Arthur Tjandra of Elixir de Vie explains to her that those perceived “grooves” are in fact normal anatomy of human abdominal muscles, men and women alike, which can only be seen only if a person is lean. Perhaps she has been fat all her life, and she is surrounded by similarly fat people her entire life, that she fails to recognize what “normal” abdomens like look. Dr Arthur Tjandra of Elixir de Vie has to strip down to show his own abdomen to this woman to show her what a lean abdomen looks like!
