Hello everyone, I created this blog to write about my experience with Dr Arthur from Elixir de Vie in Medan. Let me first do a little introduction about myself. I am 24 years old, Singaporean, Chinese, Female, and engaged to a wonderful man. I was considered by many people to be "small size" but people don't really see the hidden fats in me (especially on my arms and thighs) because I cover them up very well. To be honest, I was very fat as a child and I remained this way until I was in secondary school, where I dropped from 65kg to 58kg. However, when I entered university and due to the stressful environment, I dropped nearly 10kg and my weight dropped to around 50kg. It has been 2 years since I graduated and I have put on some weight and I am now 54kg. Oh my height is 160cm by the way. And yes, according to BMI and just by looking at my height and weight, you can roughly tell that I am average in size. However, what troubled me the most is that no matter how little I eat, and how much I exercise, I just can't seem to lose the fats on my arms and thighs.
Hence, on 2014, I mustered up my courage and decided to do liposuction on my arms. I decided to do it in October because it was my birthday month and it will give me something special to remember about. I have heard about Dr Arthur from some friends and of course, he does have VERY good reviews on the internet. I have also watched many of his videos and read up on his case studies as well. What is the most important to me is the results - you really see the difference before and after the liposuction done by Dr Arthur. Plus, Dr Arthur charges a very affordable price (as compared to Singapore). I got both my arms done for only $3k ++
On the day of my arrival in Medan, I was greeted by the super friendly chauffeur, Suyono, who even offered to help carry my bag. Oh and something to make Singaporeans happy, there is A&W at the airport!! On the way to the clinic, he played classical relaxing chinese music. Once we reached the clinic, I was greeted by the nurse and three other helpers. Soon after, you would have to go up to your room to have a quick shower and change into the robe that they provide you with. What I like about the entire setting is it gave me a very homely feeling. And then, I met Dr Arthur! He was very friendly and explained the whole procedure to me very well. And of course, he is very fit physically! After assessing me, he told me that I only have to do 3 areas on my arms (rather than all 4 areas), and hence I pay lesser too! I felt that Dr Arthur was being very honest with me and that made me trust his service even more.
There is a menu which consists of many food selection and the helpers will help to packet the food and deliver it to your room. Breakfast is provided free there. And the food is very yummy! Try their Seafood Nasi Goreng, you will really love it! So after the consultation with Dr Arthur and I had my lunch, it's time for the surgery. I have to be very honest to say that I have belonephobia, which is an intense fear of needles. I will shiver at the sight of needles and yes I do have comments from people asking me why do I want to do liposuction when I am so afraid of needles (even from the nurse I took the blood test from before coming to Medan - because I was so afraid and tense that my blood vessel burst and the nurses had to calm me down). Let me just say something, fear is psychological and it can be controlled. I keep telling myself that it will all be worth it and there is definitely a price to pay if you want to look good. But trust me, it isn't that painful after all! Dr Arthur made the atmosphere really comfortable for me and you won't really feel anything due to the anesthetic.
I am case no. 158 and youtube. Please feel free to take a look at my videos and you can really see the difference when Dr Arthur compared my left and right arm (left arm lipo-ed and right arm not).

It has been about 1 week now after my surgery and I am recovering well. The bruises are mostly gone but my arms are still quite swollen. It does get better each day, and massage will definitely help. I have uploaded some photos immediately after the surgery. My overall experience is very positive as Dr Arthur and his nurse/helpers have been very friendly - they will check in on you at night, take your blood pressure regularly, change your dressing and massage for u to make sure that you are recovering well after the surgery. Hence, I would highly recommend Dr Arthur to whoever is considering liposuction! :)
