Stem Cell Therapy<\/h1>\n

In 2001, Patricia Zuk discovered that there are stem cells in fat from liposuction, calling them ADSC (adipose derived stem cells). Further research revealed that these stem cells can play an important role in autologous fat transfer: they release growth factors that promote the growth of blood vessels and can also change into fat cells. This ability makes them essential to improve the healing of the transferred fat cells in autologous fat transfer.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>

Stem cell enrichment only useful by excess fat!<\/h3>\n

\"Stem<\/strong>It has been shown that the healing rate of transplanted fat can be increased through stem cell enrichment by about 20 – 25%, if one doubles the number of stem cells. When operation is thus twice removed as much fat as the planned expansion is necessary. Half of the recovered fat is processed and the\u00a0stem cells from it are isolated. The leftover fat from this portion is discarded. After the procurement of stem cells they are added to the\u00a0other fat portion, thereby doubling the number of stem cells.<\/p>\n

This means that stem cell\u00a0enrichment is only useful only under certain conditions: as it takes double the amount of fat\u00a0to perhaps achieve a 25 % increase in healing rate.<\/p>\n

Example<\/strong>:\u00a0Autologous fat transfer\u00a0with enrichment<\/strong> : two breasts will be enlarged with 250g = 500g autologous\u00a0fat. For the enrichment twice as much fat is needed, for a total of 1000g\u00a0autologous<\/span> fat. Without stem cell enrichment, healing rate\u00a0is about 70% , with the enrichment + 25 % = + 17.5 % , so at best 87.5 %. This leaves a per breast increase\u00a0of 218g.<\/p>\n

Example:\u00a0Autologous fat transplantation without enrichment:<\/strong><\/p>\n

If instead of the enrichment operation, \u00a0after three months the operation is simply repeated, the calculation is quite different.<\/p>\n

1. OP consumption 250g with\u00a0healing rate<\/span> 70 % – residual volume = 175g
\n2. OP consumption 250g with\u00a0healing rate<\/span> 70 % – residual volume = 175g
\nSum after two interventions without enrichment of 350g per breast<\/p>\n

Comparison of 500g\u00a0Autologous fat transfer\u00a0with enrichment and\u00a0Autologous fat transfer\u00a0without enrichment<\/strong><\/strong>:<\/strong><\/p>\n

350g \u2013 218g = 132g !<\/p>\n

It is thus clear that a repeat of the operation brings much more than a stem cell enrichment.<\/p>\n

It thus appears that stem cell enrichment can\u00a0only be recommended if the patient really has sufficient fat available to remove\u00a0twice the amount of fat in one or two operations.<\/p>\n

A thin<\/strong>\/\u00a0slender patient<\/strong> for breast augmentation should receive\u00a0autologous fat in several operations, each with small amounts of fat.<\/p>\n

\n

In a thin \/ slender patient, breast augmentation with stem cell enrichment is computationally disadvantageous and therefore counterproductive.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Discuss these facts with your doctor before undergoing breast augmentation with autologous fat and stem cell enrichment.<\/p>\n

The healing rate of autologous fat transfer can also be increased with PRP (platelet rich plasma): We offer this service already! Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n
