Looking like “Barbie” Without Scalpel?
This year Barbie doll celebrated her 55th birthday. At the beginning of her “career” she was yet a revolution amongst dolls, because Barbie was the first without chubby cheeks and a childlike body. Indeed it went one step further and Barbie developed from a toy played by millions of children to a tall, slim, blue-eyed, […]
“Vampire Lifting” – Does It Work?
You may remember my blog Rejuvenation a la Countess Dracula in which I talked about the historical countess Erzsébet Nádasdy (nee Báthory in 1560), who fell in love with a young officer at the mature age of 50, or thereabouts. She found out by chance that a young girl’s blood that got splattered on her […]
What to Do in Case of Dents and Irregularities after Liposuction?
Recently a patient consulted me who was treated in Prague with a combination of laser and liposuction. Lots of dents and irregularities resulted from this treatment! Now she wonders if she should undergo a correction in my clinic, which is tedious and expensive, of course, or if she accepts to live permanently dissatisfied with those […]
Weight Loss before Breast Augmentation with Stem Cells or Autologous Fat
Recently we performed a breast augmentation with stem cells in a patient who had lost 7 kilos in the months before surgery. Previously you would have advised against losing weight before liposuction because weight loss causes the fat cells (and tissues) to be empty and limp, something which makes the sculpturing during the liposuction more […]
Is Brad Pitt Turning Back Time? – Looking like 40 at the Age of 50
If you would have to guess Brad Pitt’s age, you would probably say he’s in his early forties – and that only because you maybe know him from the old TV series Dallas, in which he is playing the minor part of the young Randy. So isn’t it very surprising to hear that William Bradley […]
Hair Loss Prevention with Stem Cells?
Regularly younger men come into my office who do not want to look like their fathers at 40 – with a (semi-)bald head. To prevent hair loss they have their scalp treated with stem cells. For this purpose, a small portion of the patient’s fat is extracted first under local anesthesia, from which the stem […]
Improvement in Joint Problems, Autoimmune Diseases and Circulatory Disorders with Stem Cells from Fat
Is there a panacea, a cure for every disease? Of course not. But the body’s own stem cells from fat tissue have a considerable healing potential. Scientific studies suggest that the body’s own (autologous) stem cells of the patient can be used in a variety of very different disorders and at least relief and amelioration […]
Breast Augmentation for One Night?
New trend in the USA – what’s the deal? It’s amazing what’s out there – in order to be able to present enlarged breasts for a specific event, young American women undergo breast augmentation that lasts for one night. Actually, the breast enlargement lasts for two days. For this short-term breast augmentation saline solution is […]
Can Food Make You Beautiful?
In ancient China beauty-conscious ladies were recommended certain foods – including cockscombs. Today we know that cockscombs contain natural hyaluronic acid, which improves the water binding capacity of the skin and thus protects against wrinkles. I see in my practice that even very young people benefit from taking hyaluronic acid and collagen regularly. In very […]
Breast Augmentation Using Autologous Fat and Stem Cells in Very Slim Women?
Often very slim women desire to have a breast augmentation without silicone with autologous fat or stem cell-enriched autologous fat. Almost always I am able to harvest enough fat to achieve a satisfactory result even in very slim women. How is this done: Instead of selectively removing fat at a few problem areas such as […]
