Recently, a female patient consulted me, as she needed an autologous fat injection in the cheeks, at least she thought so. A plastic surgeon in Vienna had administered one such injection on her due to hollow cheeks and now the object had degenerated. I looked up her year of birth and saw, that she was around 10 years younger than she looked. According to her account, she was under treatment for several years due to her chronic illness and had to take medicines. All this let her body age prematurely.
Another fat injection could not improve anything for her. Instead of that, I now looked at her more closely: her face and her body showed the clear symptoms of the depletion of the hormonal glands, which are normally seen only from around 50 to 60 years. We then spoke no more about fat injection, rather about the Hormonal Regeneration® with bioidentical hormones and their regenerative effect. After a few weeks of therapy, her hollow cheeks would again become filled up, her flaccid skin would again become taut and her livid face would give way to a healthy, vital complexion.
Why do I know that – as I could often observe it sufficiently in male and female patients. After a few weeks of Hormonal Regeneration®, the rejuvenating and vitalizing effect can be more intensified by a regenerative stem cell therapy (de Leons “Fountain of Youth”). Any surgical symptom treatments can be saved by the female patient as a result.
Had all cosmetic surgeons been exclusively trained in surgery, such patients would well have been recommended a facelift, artificial fillers, or silicon cheeks. It is indispensable for the optimal care of the patients, that the cosmetic surgeons (aesthetic practitioners) are capable to select their methods from all disciplines of medicine: from surgery, dermatology, hormonal medicine, stem cell technology.
For this purpose, these physicians must have learned this, as well as may do so according to law. Physicians for general medicine, as I am one, are authorized according to the Austrian law, to combine therapeutic methods from all branches of medicine for the treatment of their patients. Naturally it is a prerequisite, that they have also learned these procedures verifiably and mastered them. On the contrary, a plastic surgeon may only use those surgical procedures, which are mentioned in his medical specialist catalog. Not a miracle, if he will more often advise surgical operation.
This general authorization of general practitioners is a prerequisite for the further development of the medical art there, where it happens: in the medical practice! It is essential, that this general authorization of general practitioners remains maintained for the Austrian patients also in future, as it means advancement of medicine and optimal security for the patients.
