Correction of Breast Asymmetry with Autologous Fat
Today we again got consulted by a patient who has a much smaller left breast, which makes her suffer mentally. What can be done? Autologous fat transfer and stem cell enriched autologous fat can be used to compensate the difference in size. Often multiple surgeries are necessary. One surgery appointment may be sufficient if the […]
Aesthetic Surgery: Body Modification versus Therapy
Pure “cosmetic surgeries” (or better “body modifications”), that means surgical interventions which are neither performed for reconstruction of objective physical deficits nor indicated therapeutically to treat the patient’s physiological strain, are hardly done by us today. In contrast, in my ordination we almost exclusively carry out therapeutically indicated aesthetic interventions, which help to improve the […]
Is Pre-stretching the Breast with BRAVA Suction Bra worth the Struggle?
A patient asks me this: What are your opinions on the BRAVA technology? Is it worth the struggle before having a breast fat transfer? My answer is: Depends on your volume requests and your breasts flexibility. Such suction bras are expanding the breasts and thus increase their ability to adapt for more fat in lipotransfer […]
What Is the Difference Between Breast Augmentation with Autologous Fat and Stem Cells?
In each breast augmentation with autologous fat also stem cells are injected into the breast because adipose tissue is the body tissue with the highest content of mesenchymal stem cells.

Treating Wrinkles in a Thirty Year-old Woman with Autologous Fat?

Breast Augmentation for Transgender People à la Conchita Wurst
At least since May 10th, 2014 everybody knows “her”: Conchita Wurst sang herself into people’s hearts with her ballade Rise like a Phoenix at the 59th Eurovision Song Contest in Copenhagen. A honorable performance – because up to now only the world-famous Udo Jürgens accomplished to get the title for Austria in the sixties with […]
Methods of Rejuvenation: Treatment Using Growth Factors and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) (Part 5)
A new procedure that is suitable especially for local rejuvenation of your skin, but also for other local treatments is the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) obtained from your own blood.

Knee Problems in Overweight and Diabetes: Stem Cell Therapy in Knee Osteoarthritis (Part 2)
The fat harvested during liposuction on the “problem areas” of the overweight patient contains numerous stem cells which we can isolate and inject at the damaged joint.
