Orlando Surgeon Using Advanced Regenerative Cells Technique

Technique uses experimental technology to improve effectiveness of fat grafting procedures.

2010-12-09

ORLANDO, FL, December 09, 2010 (Press-News.org) Fat grafting is one of the exciting frontiers of plastic surgery, allowing men and women to take fat from areas where it is undesirable and use it to sculpt areas where they desire greater volume, such as the breast, buttocks, face, and hands. Now Orlando plastic surgeon Dr. Jeffrey Hartog is joining a small number of surgeons in the United States and worldwide that are using an exciting new technique that uses the regenerative cells common in fat to enhance the effectiveness of fat grafting.

The technique enhances the normal fat graft with a concentrated dose of adipose-derived regenerative cells (ADRC) that encourage healing, including the growth of new blood vessels vital to the survival of the grafted fat. The ADRCs are concentrated using the Cytori Stem Source system. Studies show that ADRC enriched fat grafts have the potential to improve the survival of fat grafts by up to 50%

Dr. Hartog and his staff are very excited to be one of a select group of surgeons using the technology: "The potential of Adipose Derived Regenerative Cells as well as other cell based therapies to enhance fat grafting and to provide therapies for other difficult to treat medical conditions is very exciting."

ADRC-enhanced fat grafts can be used for:

- Breast enhancement
- Breast reconstruction
- Facial rejuvenation
- Hand rejuvenation
