In this blog I will be reporting in future about current developments from the domain of New Cosmetic Surgery.
A field of interdisciplinary beauty and rejuvenatory medicine is currently developing in cosmetic surgery, where in most cases silicon and scalpel are expendable. I call this the New Cosmetic Surgery.
Minimally-invasive, gentle cosmetic surgical intervention under local anaesthetic is an important pillar of New Cosmetic Surgery, which has already been carried out in a few leading centres in the USA and Japan.
A further important pillar are the body’s own stem cells, won from fat tissue, by means of which permanent breast augmentation has become possible without the use of silicone! Since we have been doing research on this topic for years and reported as early as 2004 on the work of Japanese and American researchers, I have decided – as the first European doctor – to offer our patients a new procedure using stem cells from the body’s own fat tissue. This technology means that operations such as traditional face-lifting or lid correction and also wrinkle treatment with so-called “fillers” can be dispensed with. Stem cells have a local rejuvenating and regenerating effect, and for this reason can be used in many aesthetic treatments instead of the tightening and shortening methods with the scalpel! In addition to this there is a wide range of uses of stem cell technology in regenerative and therapeutic medicine, and we will keep you up to date on this!
The third essential pillar of New Cosmetic Surgery is Hormonal Regeneration®! Many of the apparently “natural” cosmetic and functional problems of aging are in fact symptoms of a chronic deficiency of certain hormones, and this can be accordingly prevented and to a certain extent reversed! This means – overstated – that “aging” (or to be more precise, “premature aging”) is actually a treatable deficiency disease! By means of bioidentical hormones and further therapeutic measures the low hormone levels caused by aging can be raised to an individually optimal level again.
