STEM CELL FACELIFT FAQ

Fat grafting or Lipo Transfer is the process of transferring the fat to an area, but the stem cells are “locked” inside the tissue stroma. Real Stem Cell Facelifts isolate the stem cells from the fat itself and then reintroduce the stem cells into the desired area.

The vast majority of patients recover from this procedure in anywhere from 7 to 10 days depending upon the severity of the aging process and the procedure tailored to that individual patient. For the first two to three days, mild swelling and redness of the skin is present, similar to a sunburn. On the 4th, 5th and 6th days, the surface of the skin will shed itself leaving a light pink color beneath itself. On the 8th to 10th day, a dramatic improvement in the color and quality of the skin is present with minimal pinkness. An improvement in the overall facial contour is noted, and mostly patients can interact socially. For the following weeks, residual swelling continues to decrease and the face changes into its ongoing youthful new contour in both volume and shape, and skin texture and quality.  There is an ongoing improvement in the quality and texture of the skin for years. The volume and the shape of the face stabilize at approximately three to four weeks.

The stem cell facelift is an ideal procedure for patient’s wishing for a nonsurgical facial rejuvenation without the risks of facelift surgery. You may be a good candidate for this procedure if you have early or moderate signs of facial aging. Typically, those involve soft tissue loss in the mid-face with mild to moderate wrinkling of the skin elsewhere. It is ideal for patients who have moderate facial aging and/or who have had previous facelifts and do not wish to undergo another surgical procedure. Patients who are good candidates will sometimes have deep nasolabial fold areas, or desire enhanced cheek bones, etc.
