What is a Stem Cell Facelift?
The Stem Cell Face Lift is revolutionizing the science of facial rejuvenation. Dr. Andrew Wolin is one of the few plastic surgeons in North America who has been doing stem cell and fat cell transfers for the past 15 years. He explains that this variation of traditional face lift surgery allows both men and women seeking facial rejuvenation, the ability to take advantage of the regenerative properties provided by their body’s own adult human stem cells.Is The Stem Cell Face Lift the Best Option For You?
Plastic surgeons explain that the Stem Cell Face Lift procedure can actually be a long-term solution to mild to moderate ptosis (sagging of the skin). The procedure can help combat the tell tale signs of aging in many areas of the face, by adding volume and more dimension to the face, while simultaneously minimizing or eliminating fine lines and wrinkles.The Stem Cell Facelift Procedure
A stem cell facelift is a minimally invasive way to turn back the hands of time. Patients choosing this type of procedure over more drastic and invasive face lift surgery avoid the need for repeated treatments with artificial injectable fillers which can cost a great deal more, and often leave many patients with an unnatural, seemingly surgically altered appearance.The Stem Cell Face-Lift uses fat that is (gently harvested from the thigh or abdomen using small liposuction syringes rather than the standard liposuction cannulas). The specimens are then placed in a special centrifuge for separation of healthy fat and healthy stemcells from the oily breakdown of damaged fat cells. The technique which Dr Wolin employs makes sure to preserve the stem cell component of the centrifuged specimen. By gently manipulating the specimen, the stem cell component is protected so that it can be effectively injected into the areas of the face being treated.
Doctors and scientists alike strongly believe that it is the introduction of these stem cells that promote re-growth of blood vessels and other diminished tissue structures within the face, adding back looking the fullness that is often lost with age or significant weight loss. The results are much longer lasting, leaving patients with a fresh revitalized natural outcome. Many patients experience improved skin tone and firmness after the procedure.
