Yes, you read it right. Dr Arthur Tjandra performed liposuction and fat grafting procedure on himself, while standing in front of a mirror. And he filmed the entire procedure and posted it on YouTube. Unfortunately, not only did YouTube deleted all his videos, but it also shut down his account. Because, YouTube does not want prospective patients to learn that liposuction can be done with just a plastic syringe, under only local anesthesia, while a patient is awake. Dr Arthur Tjandra proves that it is possible to do so, by performing liposuction on himself!

The first time Dr Arthur Tjandra of Elixir de Vie performed abdominal liposuction and autologous fat grafting facial rejuvenation on himself, was back in 2008.
Because of all his marathon running, he lost his facial fat.
And because of his age, which is 52 in 2023, his basal metabolic rate has slowed down, which also means it is harder for him to burn his body fat, especially around his love handles, despite all his marathon running.
As his love handles were irritating him so much, and at the same time his mid-face lost all the injected fat from 12 years ago from marathon running, Dr Arthur Tjandra of Elixir de Vie performed a second abdominal/love handles liposuction on himself in 2019, just before Covid-19 pandemic. He showed off the result of his works, just months later, when he went to Danang, Vietnam, for vacation in January 2020, at the start of Covid-19 pandemic. You can view the photographs in the Danang Chinese New Year 2020 Run photo album on ArthurTjandra.Com.
Below are the results of his artistic works, filmed in Singapore in July 2023, 4 years later, at the age of 52.
How is it possible for him to perform liposuction on himself, you may ask. It is because it is exactly how it should be done, if you would like to get perfect result! If your liposuction is not performed in 3-dimensional way, while you are awake and able to sit and stand, while your surgeon sculpts your body, then the result will definitely not going to be good! Liposuction can be done under only local anesthesia and mild sedation. In fact, this is the way it should be done, if a perfect result is your priority!
