Stem Cell Breast Augmentation (Autologous Fat Transfer)

Posted in Liposelection on June 6th, 2010 by Dr Dennis Wolf – Be the first to comment

This revolutionary new treatment involves harvesting fat from various areas of your body (e.g. abdomen, flanks, outer thighs) and then having it re-injected into your breasts to give them fuller volume and shape. It is a minimally invasive procedure performed under local anaesthetic and leaves you with NO scars. As it is your own tissue there is no chance of rejection or allergic reaction.
After harvesting the fat Dr Wolf will contour the areas with a VASER to sculpt the areas smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is it?

Stem cell breast augmentation is a procedure based on regenerative medicine and involves the collection of stem cells from your own adipose (fat) tissue and the re-injection of those cells, together with purified adipose tissue into the breast. The stem cells maintain the viability of the fat that has been injected and create an infrastructure for it to survive. The fat tissue then integrates naturally with the surrounding breast tissue, resulting in permanently bigger, firmer breasts. It is possible to gain 1-2 cup sizes per treatment depending on how much fat is harvested. Using the patients own cells represents a highly safe treatment with no concerns of foreign body reaction, such as encapsulation, allergies or tissue rejection.

What are Stem Cells?

Stem cells are a particular type of cell that can differentiate into various other cells when placed in the correct environment. They also release growth factors which stimulate blood vessel production which maintains the viability of the surrounding tissue.

What other conditions can it be used for?

Stem cells have of recent attracted significant interest in several different medical specialities including heart attacks, strokes, heart failure, rheumatoid arthritis, degenerative bone disease, diabetes, Parkinson’s, MS, liver cirrhosis, skin grafts and scar revision.

Where is the fat taken from?

Stem cells are harvested from the patient’s own fat during our VASER Liposelection procedure. Stem cell breast augmentation therefore is to be used in combination with ultrasound assisted liposulpture. A modified liposelection procedure is performed under local anaesthetic and the tissue is then processed in a machine which concentrates the stem cells. Once this procedure is complete the concentrate is then combined with more fat tissue and re-injected into the breasts through tiny little puncture holes, thus leaving no scars. The most common areas where fat is harvested from are abdomen, outer thighs and flanks.

How are the cells administered into the breasts.

Equal amounts of cell concentrate and fat tissue are injected into both breasts to give them a fuller and firmer shape. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic and administration is via a small cannula which leaves no scar. The fat tissue gives the breast a natural look and feel.

What are the risk factors?

As with any other minimally invasive procedure there is a small risk of infection, bleeding, bruising. As the fat is your own tissue the chances of allergic reaction, rejection and capsule formation are almost negligible compared to traditional breast augmentation techniques.

Liposelection® Procedure

When purchasing any weight loss product, it is important to do your research. Many people are exchanging their opinions about LipoSelection on DietBlogTalk.com

Overview

LipoSelection® is a pre-surgery procedure that is said to emulsify fat in preparation for the invasive liposuction surgery.  VASAR®, the developer of LipoSelection® claims the process will reduce the pain and tissue damage typical of liposuction surgery, thereby quickening the healing process.

Procedure at a Glance

LipoSelection® is a patented ultrasonic pre-liposuction procedure developed by VASAR®.  The method is believed to diminish the pain of liposuction for the patient.

Procedure in Focus

LipoSelection® uses ultrasonic energy to remove fat. The ultrasound is purported to break up and emulsifies the fat that is to be removed during liposuction surgery. It is claimed the procedure leaves the surrounding nerves, blood vessels, and tissue unharmed. A surgeon applies a local anesthetic that will fill the area to be treated to numb the site and shrink blood vessels in an attempt to minimize post-liposuction surgery bruising and swelling. The ultrasonic frequency is used to break up fat on contact rendering easier extraction with liposuction tubes during surgery.  The two benefits of putting your body through this pre-surgery procedure are improved body contour and minimization of post-surgery bruising, swelling, and pain.

Positives

LipoSelection® is claimed to reduce the pain and swelling of liposuction surgery.

 

Negatives

LipoSelection® is an invasive procedure that is performed before an invasive surgery that may not be necessary for improved body image. Surgeries and procedures like LipoSelection® only provide surface improvement; to sustain fat loss through surgery the lifestyle must be reoriented toward daily exercise and healthier eating.

 

Final Thoughts

We have significant reservations about any method to improve the body’s appearance that does not address the daily habits of a person.  Sustaining any weight loss from a surgery requires a retraining of your outlook on eating and the activity choices you make each day.  Learning to eat less and move more is the safest and most reliable method for losing excess weight but you don’t have to do it without help. There are supplements that are far less expensive than liposuction that can assist you with appetite suppression and fat burning.
