Dr. Pitanguy is a founding father of cosmetic surgery – at the start of the sixties his name was already well known in glossy magazine articles. I myself got to know him at a conference in Atlanta, where he described some of his operation procedures. I personally held him in high regard and his achievements in the trade are inimitable – nevertheless, unnoticed by most doctors and media a new era of cosmetic surgery has begun. Busty models made of silicon, ageing Hollywood celebrities with lifted, over-tightened doll faces – all this could soon belong to the past. Out of the world of cosmetic surgery, an interdisciplinary cosmetic and rejuvenative medicine is already emerging, where silicon and scalpel can be dispensed with in most cases!
New Cosmetic Surgery works with minimally-invasive, gentle cosmetic procedures under local anaesthetic. An example of minimally-invasive surgery is microcanular liposuction, which allows a very gentle and precise shaping of the body and face with only a few days of aftercare. In addition, the body’s own stem cells are used, which are obtained from fatty tissue with microcannulas, and with which e.g. lasting breast augmentation without silicon has become possible! This technology also dispenses with Dr. Pitanguy’s famous facelift methods tried by many celebrities, such as eyelid corrections and wrinkle treatments with “fillers.” Stem cells act as a rejuvenator and regenerator in specific areas and can thus be used in many aesthetic treatments, such as stem cell facelift and stem cell breast augmentation, instead of the lifting and gathering treatment of symptoms with the scalpel!
Because many seemingly “natural” cosmetic and functional problems of age, which to date were tackled with the scalpel, are obviously symptoms of a chronic lack in certain hormones, in New Cosmetic Surgery we use bioidentical hormones to raise the age-related, falling hormone level to the individual optimal value again. Thanks to regeneration and rejuvenation from within, this treatment leads to a 15-year younger, more radiant appearance and greater vigour.
The great potential of New Cosmetic Surgery lies in the perfect and balanced combination of these treatments! Nearly all cosmetic problems of the face, body, and skin can therefore be optimally treated with completely natural results. Cutting away with the scalpel and implanting silicon cushions will only be considered in the future in exceptional cases!
