Stem Cell Enriched Fat Micro-Grafts

Tampa Bay, St. Petersburg, and Sarasota, Florida

If you worry that wrinkles or aging skin are keeping others from seeing your dynamic, youthful personality, you are not alone. This is a common concern of many people forced to deal with the aging process as they enter their 40s, 50s, and 60s. A loss of volume in your facial skin, particularly near your cheeks, can make you look considerably older than you actually are. Fortunately, advances in facial rejuvenation technology provide you with some new and exciting ways to restore volume to your skin so that you can project a more vibrant persona to others in your life.

At the Clinique of Plastic Surgery, we regularly use stem cell fat micro-grafting injections to help restore a silkier, more youthful complexion to your skin. Board certified Tampa plastic surgeon Dr. Christian Drehsen was one of the first surgeons to use stem cell fat micro-grafting injections with patients, and he continues to be a trailblazer with this new and exciting technology. You will be amazed at the revitalizing impact fat micro-grafting injections will have on your appearance. The results look extremely natural, giving you a radiant glow that others will respond to very favorably.

A Revolutionary Volumetric Approach to Facial Rejuvenation

Over the last 20 years, numerous techniques have been offered to rejuvenate the face; the majority of which rely on skin tightening alone. In the recent decade, the use of short-term fillers has become extremely popular for limited rejuvenation.

Even though fat grafting to the facial areas and the body has been recognized as a method of treatment and utilized all over the world for years with differing success, there is now a revolutionary technique of facial rejuvenation. This state of the art approach transplants “Adult Stem Cells” along with fat usually extracted from the lower abdomen region to restore the volume loss that usually accompanies facial aging.

Taking Plastic Surgery to the Next Level

“Taking Plastic Surgery to the Next Level” is precisely what Dr. Drehsen plans to accomplish with his stem cell enriched facial rejuvenation. Dr. Drehsen is a pioneer, being the first in this country to complete a series of natural stem cell enriched face lifts, without the need for Human Growth Hormones, or some other unnatural techniques.

The patients Dr. Drehsen has performed this procedure on have already shown great improvement, not only in youthful restoration of the face but also the quality and texture of the skin itself.

These adult stem cells appear to be producing alternative “hormone like” chemicals to enhance healing, improve skin circulation and overall retention of the fat graft. The outcome to date is a lasting enhancement that magnifies both the quality of the skin and the younger looking facial contour.

While stem cell micro grafting is not necessary or appropriate for everyone, its safety is now well established. Stem cell enriched micro grafting in our early results seems to:

More predictably preserve fat grafts therefore decreasing the need for repeat injections or over correction
Result in a substantial rejuvenation and restoration of damaged skin due to sun, age, radiation, hormonal changes, acne scaring and other causes
Result in improved or accelerated healing of ulcer and radiation damage while improving symmetry in reconstructed or augmented breast tissue

A Versatile Procedure

Dr Drehsen makes use of this exciting new stem cell process specially for slim or gaunt faces, in order to re-establish healthy and youthful volume. It will also aid in healing skin damaged by extended sun exposure, rather than the use of harsher procedures such as lasers, chemical peels or dermabrasion. Furthermore, his synchronized use of stem cell fat grafting with his signature “Refresher Facelift” procedure may well revolutionize the world of face lifts by aiding in the healing after surgery as well as extending the health of your skin.

Dr. Drehsen has found that the two procedures complement each other very well: the Refresher Lift by a natural and vertical correction of the skin and muscle of the face and the stem cell fat micro-grafts restoring youthful volume and skin quality.

The Stem Cell Fat Micro-Grafting Procedure

The “Stem Cell Process” initially consists of extracting 4 to 6 oz of fat from your mid-section or abdomen, through a mini-liposuction process. Once removed, the fat is processed through a computerized centrifuge. This equipment liberates in a sterile fashion, the stem or repair cell which are then added to the fat injection. Through a simple injection process, the fat cell will be added to the same patient at the desired site.

Dr. Drehsen has perfected the art of fat micro-grafting with long-lasting results with thousands of patients. He now offers the use of this state of the art stem cell procedure to all patients that are candidates for a “normal” fat grafting.

Dr. Drehsen is also using a 3D imaging as well as Visia Skin Analysis to closely track the results of his patients.

Stem cell fat micro-grafting injections also greatly enhance the results of other facial rejuvenation procedures such as:
