Autologous fat transplantation makes breast beauty and youthful face possible

Stem cells greatly increase the survival rate of autologous fat

Dr. Xu Yongkang explained that in traditional fat transplantation, the survival rate of fat is not high. Now, fat cells are separated through a patented sterile device, and the resulting fat cells and stem cells can be transplanted subcutaneously. Stem cells can activate cells and release growth factors to stimulate the formation of blood vessels, keeping the surrounding tissues active. This technology can increase the fat survival rate to 70% to 80%.

However, the disadvantage of autologous fat transplantation is that the body will absorb a certain amount of it. In addition, it should be noted that fat transfer is different for each person. The amount of fat absorbed depends on factors such as physical condition, stress, smoking, etc., and it is impossible to accurately estimate. It is possible that one injection may not meet your expectations. You need to communicate carefully with the doctor. Choosing an experienced plastic surgeon can reduce the chance of a large gap between postoperative and expectations and the occurrence of complications.

Dr. Xu Yongkang uses water jet liposuction to extract fat from a large area of ​​the thighs, buttocks, waist and abdomen. The fat cells in this area are also the most suitable for fat transplantation.

Water jet liposuction is the most gentle method of liposuction, with the least damage to nerves and blood vessels. It can extract the most complete and healthy fat cells, and then use a special machine to centrifuge pure fat (SVF) containing a large number of stem cells, which are injected into the chest in an evenly arranged layer. This technology and surgical method can greatly increase the survival rate of fat. Early surgical methods can only survive about 30% to 40% of the fat, but this method can increase it to 70% to 80%. After the operation, the maximum increase can be up to 1.5 cup sizes, and for those with special breast shapes or local defects, breast shape repair can be performed.

Autologous fat stem cells create a beautiful and youthful face

Affected by gravity and age, the collagen and elastic fiber tissue in the human body will begin to decompose, wrinkles are formed, subcutaneous fat is lost, the volume of fat under the skin gradually decreases, and the underlying bones become more obvious. At this time, combined with autologous adipose stem cell transplantation, these gaps can be filled, allowing the facial skin to restore its natural "puffiness", wrinkles will also be lifted and disappear, and the elastic muscle will reappear naturally smooth, firm and rejuvenate, achieving a rejuvenation effect on the skin from the bottom to the surface.

Dr. Xu Yongkang said that cheek augmentation with autologous fat stem cells is the most popular treatment area. Sunken temples, apple muscles, cheeks, and nasolabial folds can all be improved by injecting autologous fat. Your own fat will not cause rejection or allergies, and you can inject as much as you want. The amount is very sufficient. It is the best filler and you will not be limited to a few cc due to budget constraints, resulting in poor results. As long as your weight is not too fat or too thin, the injected fat can last a lifetime. Compared with other fillers that can only last for one or two years, autologous fat is the most economical and cost-effective choice.
