Fat Stem Cells–flashback to the future

Remember the movie “Minority Report”? There was a scene where Tom Cruise is walking through the streets with large screens flashing the conversations of people. Now imagine this: People are talking about stem cells from your own fat. Below you can see what people are saying about fat stem cells on Twitter.

Stem cells from your own fat is the new frontier of plastic surgery. Fat is an abundant source of stem cells. When they are used for autologous use, clinical trials show that these stems cells have healing capabilities.

The future is here.

    Etoile:
    Inmobilization and compression consists of wrapping the breasts with a compressive bandage so they don’t move, and providing compression to prevent swelling.
    Brava is, in my opinion, a very cumbersome apparatus that is worn on your chest wall with suction. Brava is used before and after fat injection, Compression wrapping is only done for 2 weeks after surgery.
    If you want more info contact Kelly at kelly@cosmeticsurg.net to set up a virtual consult.

    Tks for the quick reply. What’s this immobilization and compression? I though Brava has the same effect, no? I heard that it has to be more than 2 months of using this pads and compression and then inject the fat. Is this truth?

    Etoile:
    The Brava system is not required. I personally believe that immobilization and compression is more important. I use a series of pads and compression, and my results have been great.
