Why Are More Patients Opting for Stem Cell Enhancements?

Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that can transform into other cell types. A new study supports what many forward-thinking cosmetic surgeons already knew: within a few weeks, stem cell treatment can help repair elastin with undamaged tissues.

What Is Stem Cell Fat Transfer?

Fat tissue is packed with stem cells. In fact, fat tissue has become the primary source for health care professionals seeking stem cells for treatments.

First, Dr. Calabria removes fat cells from selected areas of your body. These fat cells are placed in a centrifuge to separate the stem cells before injecting them into the target area. Stem cells harvesting leaves your body sleeker and gives you a power-packed punch of rejuvenation!

How Do Stem Cells Enhance the Body?

Stem cells can correct some of the problems that occur with other procedures. For example, when liposuction is overdone, it may leave dents and irregular contours. Stem cells can correct these issues and rejuvenate facial features, hands, breasts, and other body areas. Additionally, stem cells that come from your body have a lower risk of rejection than other treatments.

How Can Stem Cells Improve Fat Transfer?

Traditional fat grafting techniques have a high resorption rate, requiring several treatments. With stem cell plastic surgery, Dr. Calabria has harnessed the power stem cells to produce natural-looking improvements for smooth, flawless skin with less absorption.

What Is a Stem Cell Facelift?

A non-surgical facelift using stem cell technology gives your face a fresh, natural look without the scarring. Our board-certified plastic surgeon specializes in non-invasive regenerative therapies, such as the stem cell facelift.

How Are Stem Cells Used in Breast Augmentation?

Stem cell breast augmentation gives you a natural alternative to implants and reduces fat from other areas. Using his expertise in stem cell fat grafting, Dr. Renato Calabria has given many women fuller, more vibrant breasts with shorter recovery times.

When rippling and defects appear after breast augmentation, stem cell fat grafting used in breast revision procedures improves the retention rate of corrective fat-grafting to give you natural, youthful breasts.

In recent years, fat transfer has grown in popularity and taken on a life of its own. Fat transfer can be used all over the face and body to restore youthful features and improve body contours.

For the face, fat transfer restores lost volume with a material that lasts longer than dermal fillers and is more natural than facial implants. For the body, fat grafting can enhance a curvaceous silhouette or act as an all-natural alternative to traditional breast implants.

In addition to the benefits provided in the target areas, fat grafting also slims your physique since it is your fat being harvested and transferred. This technique allows for complete body enhancement.

While it may seem like this treatment is already a home run, a new variation is taking shape and growing strong: stem cell fat transfer.

What Are Stem Cells?

The use of stem cells is one of the most exciting medical advancements in decades, and these cells are being used in nearly all branches of medicine. Stem cells are the master cells found in your body that replenish and rejuvenate tissues. These powerful cells have the ability to produce new cells at faster levels, and the cells that they create can change into other types of cells as needed. 

This makes them extremely valuable. 

While stem cells are being studied and applied to numerous health treatments, they are also being used in aesthetic medicine, including plastic surgery. 

How Is Stem Cell Fat Transfer Different From Traditional Fat Transfer?

In the realm of plastic surgery, stem cells are used as an additive with traditional fat transfer. Stem cell fat transfer and traditional fat transfer are performed in the same way. Fat is harvested from a patient’s body, purified, and injected into the face, breasts, buttocks, or hands to enhance volume. 

The difference between stem cell and traditional fat transfer comes in the purification process. During purification of a stem cell-enhanced fat transfer, a higher concentration of stem cells is extracted and used. This increased volume of stem cells allows for additional regenerative benefits, which leads to better quality results.

Why Is Stem Cell Fat Transfer Beneficial for the Face?

Stem cell-enriched fat transfer is the main component of a non-surgical stem cell facelift. The fat transferred during this procedure helps to restore facial fullness and eliminate the facial hollows that result in deep wrinkles and creases. 

Since the stem cells transferred provide regenerative benefits, a non-surgical facelift provides longer-lasting results. This is due to the fact that the transferred stem cells stimulate the production of new collagen, allowing your aging tissues to heal and maintain themselves.

Why Is Stem Cell Fat Transfer Beneficial for the Body?

Stem cell fat transfer can be used to enhance the size and shape of the breasts, buttocks, and back of the hands (an area that is commonly impacted by the aging process). 

Stem cell fat grafting increases fullness in these areas without requiring a synthetic implant (which could present complications later on) or the incisions needed to place those implants. Additionally, the stem-cell enhanced fat is not as easily absorbed as traditional fat is. This allows for long-lasting body contouring.

If you want to find more satisfaction in your backside but do not want to sacrifice high-quality care, our advanced technologies in stem cell fat grafting are just right for you. 

Why Are Brazillian Butt Lifts the New First Choice? 

  • Continually working on your squats in the gym but not finding the results you are looking for? 
  • Lost a bit of your natural shape thanks to becoming a mother? 
  • Want to embrace your curves and place them in all the right areas? 

With the advent of Instagrams and social media influencers curvaceously dominating the spotlight, there has never been more room for what it means to be attractive in the modern zeitgeist. Skinny is not the only way to look pretty, and more celebrities are embracing the shapeliness of a full waist and buttocks. 

A Brazillian Butt Lift is a revolutionary procedure that achieves a natural-looking, curvy backside that may be just right for you. 

How Does BBL With Fat Transfer Work? 

In recent years, 94 percent of buttocks augmentations were performed with fat transfer

Unique from other forms of butt surgery, a Brazillian Butt Lift provides more organic contours thanks to revolutionary advancements in liposuction and fat transfer. 

Fat transfer removes fat from stores in your hips, stomach, and thighs. Once these fat stores are detoxified, they are prepped for injection into specific target areas of the butt. 

Using stem cell isolation, this treatment provides a fat reduction in unwanted areas and smooths out dents and dimples that were once noticeable. 

Incisions made in the harvesting area by stem cell grafting at transfer will be made with complete carefulness and exactitude, making your resulting scars inconspicuous to all admirers and gazing eyes. 

How Does BBL Provide a Shorter Recovery Period?

Rather than introducing your body to unfamiliar objects like silicone implants, our BBL procedure simply reintroduces your own fat to the areas you need it the most. This allows for unprecedented strides in recovery that speed up your body’s acclimation to the procedure. 

You will also find the risk for infection and swelling is also significantly lower with the assistance of stem cells and their predictable, more measurable results.

Surgeons like Dr. Calabria always try to be as careful as possible when creating incisions for procedures like a facelift or liposuction. 

Unfortunately, some scarring is inevitable, and those surgical scars may cause some patients to feel self-conscious or even unattractive.

Fortunately, though, innovation in plastic surgery continues to thrive. Many newer, less invasive procedures now give patients alternatives that often result in less scarring than traditional surgery.

One of these methods is fat transfer via grafting, which uses liposuction to remove extra fat while also using the same fat cells for cosmetic improvement. 

Dr. Calabria offers stem cell fat grafting, a fat transfer method that improves on existing techniques by harvesting the power of regenerative stem cells for the best in enhancement. 

What Are Stem Cells?

Stem cells are some of the building blocks that help all other cells in the body grow and develop.

They are derived from the body’s own raw materials and have the ability to grow into more stem cells or other types of cells, like blood cells, muscle cells, and even brain cells. 

Stem cells contain growth factors that improve skin quality by grafting fat from one area of the body to another. This corrects photo-damaged skin, volume loss, and increases elasticity.

What Is Stem Cell Fat Grafting?

Stem cell grafting is a process in which fat is liposuctioned from an area of the body then purified inside a device that isolates and concentrates the stem cells from that fat. The stem cells are then reinjected into the areas that need improvement. 

Typically, liposuction is performed in areas where extra fat is present, like the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks. 

Up to 80 percent of the fat grafted using traditional methods can be reabsorbed by the body. Stem cell fat grafting provides much more durability for longer-lasting results.

Body/Hand Contouring

One of the downsides to many cosmetic procedures are the scars left behind from surgical incisions.

It might seem counterproductive to undergo more surgery to try to improve these defects. 

Yet, fat grafting—particularly if stem cells are used—can be a great way to correct deformities from previous procedures. 

Traditional body contouring can leave behind large scars. Liposuction, if done too aggressively, can leave unsightly dents or other deformities that leave the body looking disproportionate. 

Body contouring with stem cell fat grafting is less harsh on the body as smaller incisions are used, leaving fewer scars. 

And with their ability to regenerate and regrow new cells, the stem cells used in fat grafting improve tissues from within for an overall smoother, more natural-looking appearance.

Stem cells can also be used to increase volume and erase signs of aging on the hands, leaving them looking naturally youthful. 

Facelift 

The stem cell facelift uses the same methods pioneered in the vertical facelift, along with stem cell-enriched to produce more naturally youthful contours. 

These cells are carefully injected underneath the facial musculature to restore lost facial volume as Dr. Calabria utilizes the vertical facelift methods to carefully redrape facial tissues. 

The entire process is completed in the time frame of a single facelift procedure. Recovery tends to be faster with less scarring, as smaller incisions are used.  

Non-surgical Facelift

For patients who wish to avoid more invasive methods, the non-surgical facelift can still offer powerful rejuvenating effects without going under the knife.

It also uses stem cell-enriched fat to improve facial contours, injected through tiny cannulas. These cells kickstart the skin’s own growth factors, creating new ones for a rejuvenated appearance. 

Recovery is much faster than with a traditional facelift method, with most patients’ swelling subsiding within a few weeks.
