An end to plastic and scalpels?

It really is time to put an end to patients undergoing the excesses of exaggerated aesthetic surgery that is no longer up to date! Unnatural-looking silicone breasts, tight, lifted, doll-like faces – from the point of view of doctors this could all soon be a thing of the past. An interdisciplinary beauty and rejuvenatory medical treatment is currently being developed from the scalpel and tightening cosmetic surgery, where silicone, tightening and scalpels will be unnecessary in most cases!

Instead of liberal cuts with the scalpel, the “New Cosmetic Surgery” uses minimally invasive, gentle cosmetic operations under local anaesthetic; instead of silicone, stem cells won through microcannulation from the body’s own fat tissue, whereby, for example, permanent, natural-looking, silicone-free breast augmentation has long been possible as well as bio-identical hormones and growth factors! This technology also puts an end to operations where a lot of tissue is cut away, such as the traditional face-lifting or lid correction. Stem cells from the patient’s own body have a local rejuvenating and regenerating effect and can be used in many aesthetic treatments instead of the tightening and shortening methods with the scalpel! The Mickey Rourke facelift look is thus a thing of the past!

The greatest potential of the New Cosmetic Surgery lies in its perfect and balanced combination of gentle treatment methods! Practically every cosmetic problem of face, body and skin can be treated optimally in this way. And above all, the results are completely natural. Cutting away with a scalpel or the implanting of silicone cushions or other artificial substances will in future happily be considered only in exceptional cases.

Hormonal balance as the basis for anti-aging

The positive effect of proper eating, brain jogging and fasting is undisputed and should be adhered to for a lifetime in one individual form or another!

The decisive factor for remaining fit, productive and youthful up to a ripe old age is that all the body’s hormone glands produce the right amounts of hormones. However, producing hormones requires a lot of energy on the part of the hormone glands, which is why the body often begins to “save” on hormone production from the age of 30. When and how fast this “saving” sets in depends above all on genetic material and the life situation (exercise, nutrition, stress etc.). You can tell from a person’s face and body whether they are already “saving” hormones or whether their hormone glands are still able to produce enough. People who look considerably younger than they are also always have hormone levels corresponding to a much younger age.

The best anti-aging treatment therefore begins with a comprehensive analysis of all important hormones, the establishment of hormone deficiencies and a subsequent therapy with bio-identical hormones that are as natural as possible. In this, the balance of all hormones must be taken into particular consideration – everything, even losing weight, is easier when there is hormonal balance.

Welcome to the blog on New Cosmetic Surgery!

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.

Full breasts without silicon and scalpels – with stem cell-enriched autologous fat

Gentle methods of New Cosmetic Surgery increasingly replacing more invasive methods

Vienna (2009-06-02) — The media recently reported that Miss California entered the pageant with “fake breasts”. This wouldn’t have happened with silicon-free breast enlargement! This novel breast enlargement method neither leaves scars nor does the artificially enlarged breast feel or look unnatural. But breasts enlarged with silicon are not just criticised in beauty contests.

While only a few years ago plump, unnatural-looking silicon breasts were the ideal, a trend towards greater naturalness in cosmetic surgery is now evident. Many patients want moderate breast enlargements and deem it important that the enlarged breasts look “real”.

“With stem cell-enriched autologous fat, modern medicine can fulfil many women’s wish for a fuller, natural-looking cleavage,” claims Viennese cosmetic surgery and anti-aging specialist DDr. Karl-Georg Heinrich, who has been offering breast enlargements with stem cell-enriched autologous fat, a European premiere.

Firstly, body fat is gently extracted using special, patented microcannulas. Stem cells are extracted from a portion of the suctioned autologous fat and mixed with the rest of the fat. The stem cell-enriched fat is injected into the breast with thin injection needles. The implanted stem cells generate new, living fat tissue.

The procedure takes a few hours under local anaesthesia or twilight sleep; afterwards the patient is fully mobile. U.S. and Japanese clinical studies have demonstrated its safety and the durability of the result.

At Clinic DDr. Heinrich, stem cell-enriched autologous fat is also used for natural body forming in the buttocks, hips, thighs, and calves, for the correction of dents, and for rejuvenating the skin of the face, hands, and cleavage.

Breast augmentation – from the buttock to the breast

New method as solution for old problem

Vienna (2009-04-08) — Many women feel uncomfortable with padding around the hips and small breasts. Until recently correction required two operations: One for liposuction, the other for breast enlargement with silicon and scalpel. Today breast augmentation with stem-cell-enriched autologous fat combines both procedures: The fat harvested in liposuction is enriched with the body’s own stem cells and used for natural breast augmentation.

Today, thanks to novel medical technology, stem cells from fat may be used for rejuvenation and body shaping. “Stem cells harvested from autologous fat are suitable for natural breast augmentation and have enormous regenerative potential,” says DDr. Karl-Georg Heinrich, Vienna-based expert in cosmetic surgery and anti-aging.

In a first step body fat will be harvested by liposuction using dedicated microcannulas. Stem cells will be extracted from one portion and mixed with the rest of the fat. Then the stem cell-enriched fat will be injected into the breast: No scalpel is needed, no foreign substances will be implanted and no scars will remain. The stem cells will grow into new, living tissue.

The breast enlarged by that technique will look and feel perfectly natural, the increase in volume being caused by the body’s own tissue. Liposuction with microcannulas and breast augmentation take a few hours only. Local anaesthesia or twilight sleep will be sufficient and there will be only minimal need for aftercare. The patient may be released home right after surgery. Safety and stability of the results have been proven in studies in the USA and Japan.

At Clinic DDr. Heinrich stem cell-enriched autologous fat is also used for shaping of other body regions as well as for correction of dents or skin rejuvenation.

Turn Back the Wheel of Time – like Benjamin Button

Bioidentical hormones for physical rejuvenation and fitness

Vienna (2009-02-18) — “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” has come to the movie theatres around the globe. Benjamin Button is born with the appearance and physical maladies of an elderly man but continuously growing younger – ailments and visible signs of ageing disappear.

While in the film the effect of rejuvenation was achieved by changing actors, make up, and digital processing, modern medical technology can provide gentle rejuvenation of the body by up to 15 years.

DDr. Karl-Georg Heinrich, Vienna-based expert in anti-ageing and cosmetic surgery: “Age-related hormone deficiency is one of the main reasons for premature ageing and can be treated by use of bioidentical hormones.” His surgery Clinic DDr. Heinrich is one of the first institutes in Europe to offer treatment with bioidentical hormones.

Hormonal Regeneration® treatment helps the body to recover – visible signs of ageing disappear, the skin regains its youthful tightness and elasticity. Quality of life improves substantially: Physical challenges like sports or sexual activity will become easy again.

In the first step the hormonal status will be assessed by laboratory testing, dedicated anamnesis, and physical examination. A decline in the activity of hormonal glands or an imbalance of hormone levels will be diagnosed. Then a therapy plan matching the patient’s individual needs will be established.

Hormonal glands exhausted due to ageing and stress will recover and regenerate thanks to the applied bioidentical hormones. Even after a short period of treatment some rejuvenation of the whole body will be felt. The increase in appeal and vitality will be noticed positively by the environment – just like in the movie. Hormonal Regeneration® takes between 3 and 6 months.

The Secret behind Hollywood’s Rejuvenated Faces

Looking like 35 at 50 – Thanks to New Cosmetic Surgery!

Vienna (2008-11-06) — Plastic surgery, facelifts, and lid correction have been typical for ageing Hollywood stars. Now they’e going out of fashion. Recently, media reported that stars now rely on New Cosmetic Surgery to rejuvenate their face and shape.

In New Cosmetic Surgery age-related changes in face and body are being treated not by lifting and silicon, but by the use of body-own, stem-cell-enriched fat.

“The newly rejuvenated faces of ageing Hollywood stars offer good examples for the use of own fat,” says DDr. Heinrich, Vienna-based expert in cosmetic surgery and anti-aging medicine. The most recent method in own fat transplantation is the use of own fat enriched with the body’ own stem cells. Patients from all over the world have come to see DDr. Heinrich and receive such treatment.

This method has made possible breast augmentation and rejuvenation of the face without scalpel, silicon, and plastic. “Autologous fat offers natural filling and has even shown a local rejuvenating effect, if it’s concentrated with the body’s own stem cells,” says DDr. Karl-Georg Heinrich, who is the first in Europe to offer this treatment.

In the first step of the treatment, fat will be harvested by use of microcannulas. Following concentration with the body’s own stem cells, the fat will be injected into the face or breast. This procedure may be performed under local anaesthesia or in twilight sleep. Only minimal aftercare is required and the patient can leave the clinic right after surgery.

Stem cell-enriched autologous fat offers a lasting and safe treatment option for breast reconstruction, cosmetic breast augmentation, or aesthetic rejuvenation of the face. This has been proven in clinical studies in Japan and the USA.

It’s Not only George Clooney who’s turned off by Silicon Breasts

More and more Men are saying they prefer the natural look

Vienna (2008-09-26) — Recently, the media reported that George Clooney left his girlfriend after she underwent breast augmentation with silicon.

Many men comment that they find silicon implants unappealing. Besides attracting more laughter than anything else, they have serious drawbacks: They may not only cause pain when swimming in cool water, they also leave visible scars and often make surgical lifting and change of implants necessary later.

Hyaluronic acid is intensely marketed currently. In this method, Hyaluronic acid is being injected into the breast into nut-size depots which can be felt when touching the breast. Repeated injections will leave additional scars. Also the costs are substantial: 200 ml per side cost roughly 14,000 Euros.

New Cosmetic Surgery offers a real alternative, bringing patients from all over the world to Vienna to see DDr. Heinrich. “Breast augmentation with stem-cell-enriched autologous fat has made the wish of so many women come true. They can have a fuller décolleté without scars, silicone, or even general anaesthesia,” says DDr. Karl-Georg Heinrich, an expert in aesthetic medicine and anti-aging.

First, the patient’s own fat will be harvested by gentle liposuction, enriched with the body’s own stem cells, and finally injected into the breast under local anaesthesia or in twilight sleep. This procedure provides augmentation up to two cup sizes without leaving scars. The enlarged breasts look perfectly natural in any position and in movement. Stability and safety of this procedure has been proven in clinical studies in Japan and the USA.

Football breasts made of silicon – right in time for the EURO 2008?

New Cosmetic Surgery does it without silicon und scalpel

Vienna (2008-06-12) — Silicon breasts for a football star’s girlfriend, ageing Hollywood actresses with doll-like, over-tightened faces – all this could soon be a matter of the past. Cosmetic surgery is developing into an interdisciplinary medicine of beauty and rejuvenation which has only little use for silicon and scalpel.

New Cosmetic Surgery relies to an important part on minimally invasive, gentle surgery, done under local anaesthesia. Liposuction by use of microcannulas offers a good example, being easy on the tissue and allowing for precise shaping of body and face, followed by only minimal aftercare.

The second pillar on which New Cosmetic Surgery rests is the use of the body’s own stem cells. These allow for lasting breast augmentation without silicon and have made operations such as standard facelift, lid correction and wrinkle treatment with “fillers” obsolete. Stem cells have shown immediate rejuvenating and regenerating local effects and can be used for many aesthetic treatments.

The third pillar of New Cosmetic Surgery is called Hormonal Regeneration®. Many seemingly “natural” cosmetic and functional problems associated with ageing are in fact symptoms of chronic hormone deficiency. To put it crudely: Premature “ageing” is a treatable deficiency disease. By use of bioidentical hormones, hormone levels can be brought back to individual optimal values. Regeneration and rejuvenation from inside will make you look 15 years younger and lead to radiant appearance and better fitness.

“The enormous potential of New Cosmetic Surgery lies in the combination of these treatment strategies,” says DDr. Heinrich, Vienna-based beauty and anti-aging expert, “Most cosmetic problems may be optimally treated this way, with perfectly natural results.“
