Liposuction in Melbourne vs Medan

When someone thinks of undertaking a change of their appearance through cosmetic surgeries, they would think of going to world's top plastic surgery capitals like Seoul, Thailand, New York and Brazil for example. Who would think of going to Indonesia for cosmetic surgeries when people automatically think that top plastic surgery capitals equates to good surgeons? Well, obviously they're skeptical because how could an Indonesian surgeon produce better results than those surgeons?

While I haven't found out about Dr. Arthur before my first body liposuction surgery, I was studying in Melbourne and was consumed by the mere thought of convenience and the ''just get it done and quick' mentality while doing very little research. Even if it meant by spending $30k on the procedure. I thought that the Melbourne surgeon I chose for 'should be good' judging from the before and after pictures displayed in their photo gallery, I completely ignored the fact of putting the doctor's credentials into considerations as well as the power of photoshop.

When I consulted Dr. Arthur for my revision thigh liposuction two years ago, we surfed on the internet to check out the qualifications of that particular Melbourne doctor who did the first lipo on me, he told me that that Melbourne doc was merely a cosmetic surgeon and not a plastic surgeon! I was shocked when Dr. Arthur explained the difference to me:- to be qualified as a 'plastic surgeon', a doctor has to complete at least 12 years of medical and surgical education followed by undergoing extensive training to perform invasive surgical procedures while a 'cosmetic surgeon' can simply complete their internship and residency (about 3-4 years total) following their medical degree with no minimal training of surgical procedure.

Chances are many 'cosmetic surgeons' will lack the technical surgical expertise to operate with complicated surgical procedure let alone a whole body liposuction which I got it done in ONE DAY. Dr. Arthur told me it was impossible for a whole body lipo done in one day as I could actually DIE from it. There is also a very very high chance that you will be left with highly undesirable results with practically 'no difference' because it is impossible to aspirate so much fat from one session. And that, was exactly what my result was from my whole body liposuction in Melbourne. Take a look at my wonderful botched result from the whole body lipo from the videos taken by Dr. Arthur 2 years ago.

Dr. Arthur however, is a full-fledge Plastic Surgeon whom possess numerous qualifications and certifications. As adapted from his website http://www.elixirdevie.sg/about.html

After completing undergraduate medical studies at the University of North Sumatra (Indonesia), University of Sydney (Australia) and University of Wales, College of Medicine (UK), Arthur Tjandra embarked on post-graduate training by going through internal medicine residency at the Singapore General Hospital, training in various subspecialties in medicine, upon which his anti-aging medicine practice is built. Upon passing American board certification examinations in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine, as well as Aesthetic Medicine, he gained admission to a 2-year resident fellowship program in facial and body cosmetic surgery at the Institute of Plastic Surgery Singapore (Tan Tock Seng Hospital) under the mentorship of Professor Fong Poh Him, a world-renowned plastic surgeon and fellowship director of the Institute of Plastic Surgery Singapore (IPSS), as well as at Saint Louis University School of Medicine. It was then followed by another 2 years of visiting fellowship attachment at IPSS and The Heal Medical Group. In recognition of his vast experience and training, the International College of Surgeons unanimously elected Arthur Tjandra as a Fellow in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. He is probably the ONLY medical doctor in the world who has trained in internal medicine, anti-aging medicine, sports medicine and cosmetic surgery!

My advice to anyone who wants to go for cosmetic surgeries:- research, research and MORE RESEARCH.

And if you want to go for liposuction and save your time on the research, Dr. Arthur Tjandra from http://www.elixirdevie.sg/ is your answer.
