Benefits of Stem Cell Breast Augmentation
Regardless of what era or style you are a part of, women have always considered their breasts to be the ultimate symbol of their femininity and beauty. Unfortunately, many women are dissatisfied with the appearance of their breast shape or size.
For these reasons, breast augmentation has become the most popular cosmetic procedure performed around the world, but the procedure does not come without risks. Implant rupture, capsular contracture, and even dissatisfaction with implants all require breast revision surgery.
But what if there was a less invasive and risky way to enhance and improve the size and shape of the breasts? Stem cell breast augmentation is the answer to fewer risks and complications. Luckily, Dr. Calabria is an expert who is highly skilled in this procedure. His talent and experience is the first step to making sure you attain the breasts you have always desired.
What Is Stem Cell Breast Augmentation?
Stem cell breast augmentation is a minimally invasive alternative to traditional breast augmentation surgery. Stem cell breast augmentation begins with the harvesting of stem cells from your fat cells. Dr. Calabria will perform liposuction on the desired area—the tummy is a common choice. A small cannula is inserted into the treatment site to extract fat cells. These cells are then purified and injected into your breasts.
What Are the Benefits of Stem Cell Breast Augmentation?
Stem cell breast augmentation has multiple benefits over the traditional breast augmentation surgery.
Shorter Recovery Time
Because stem cell breast augmentation is a much less invasive procedure, your recovery time is much different. Your recovery time will depend on the details of your liposuction procedure, specifically the area it was performed and the amount of fat that was extracted. It is typically recommended that you rest as much as possible during the first week regardless of the healing process, but it is common for patients to be able to resume daily activities after that first week. Dr. Calabria will clear more strenuous activities; until then, they should be avoided.
Less Scarring
With stem cell breast augmentation, you will have no scarring on your breasts. This is because the procedure does not require any incisions on your breasts. There will be scarring due to the liposuction procedure. The amount and location of incisions will depend on where liposuction was performed and how much fat was extracted. These incisions will fade over time and likely be unnoticeable.
Fewer Post-Surgical Complications
Your body considers breast implants (both silicone and saline) to be foreign objects, and scar tissue will form around it. Sometimes this scar tissue will tighten around the implant, which can cause pain, a change in the shape of the implant, and, in some cases, an additional surgery may be required to remove the tissue or implant. With stem cell breast augmentation surgery, these risks are gone because there is no implant. The breast is enhanced with fat and cells from your own body and will not be rejected.
What Can I Expect?
While you will notice a change in your breasts in the weeks following your procedure, it does take time for your final results to fully appear. As the fat and stem cells become a part of your breasts, you will continue to see changes in their size and shape. It can take up to six months for your final results to materialize.
