Suzanne Somers makes headlines once again! The actress known for her role on the American television sitcom Three’s Company in the late 70’s, has taken a public stand for years in supporting new, unconventional approaches to medicine and cosmetic surgery. For instance, she is a committed supporter of therapies using bioidentical hormones (Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy, BHRT). Some time ago, there were rumors about a possible stem cell facelift, which Suzanne denied.
But it wouldn’t be Suzanne Somers, if she would not have her own opinion about esthetic stem cell therapies. Now, during an episode of her talk show Suzanne Somers Breaking Through, she revealed her big secret: Instead of the rumors of having undergone a stem cell facelift, she underwent a breast reconstruction with stem cell-enriched autologous fat in 2009 – performed for the first time in the U.S.!
Flashback: In 2001, at the age of 55, Suzanne was diagnosed with breast cancer. However, she was able to stand her ground and fought the cancer with all her strength – and successful after all. Already back then, she attracted great attention with her decision on having the tumor surgically removed and undergoing radiation treatment, but waiving chemotherapy. A few years later, she was considered cured.
But, the tumor removal surgery decreased the size of her right breast to less than cup size B – a situation that Suzanne did not want to accept. She therefore gathered information about alternatives to a silicone implant and came across the method using stem cell-enriched autologous fat that was originally developed in 2003 with the support of the Japanese government and which we are using since the beginning of 2007 to help women from all over the world to enhance their cleavage.
Suzanne, convinced about the effectiveness and success of this innovative technique which had been neither known nor approved in the U.S. so far, wanted to achieve a major goal: She did not just want to be the first patient in the United States who this treatment was performed, but by initiating a clinical trial, she also wanted to contribute to help other women in the U.S. who had to undergo tumor removal surgery by having a natural alternative to silicon to choose from. “I am so ensconced in what’s cutting edge,” she tells the magazine People. “I get my thrill out of passing on information to women so they can have a better quality of life.”
Before performing the stem cell breast augmentation, Suzanne had her breast size reduced from a DD to a C cup. Subsequently, the fat derived from her belly by means of liposuction was injected into her right breast after it had been enriched with stem cells in order to correct the tissue defect and to match the size of both breasts in the long run. The result is a breast that looks absolutely natural, reconstructed from autologous tissue, completely without any implanted foreign body!
Suzanne Somers’ commitment to natural treatment methods without silicone and scalpel reminds us that sometimes it requires courageous patients in order to help new methods of medical treatment to achieve breakthrough – for the benefit of all people, don’t you think so?
