Stem cell fat injections a permanent way to rejuvenate face?

By justthefacts on 10 Mar 2010

Two Tampa Bay area plastic surgeons are doing fat injections with stem cells. The after photos look wonderful: nice plumped cheeks, smoother, healthy skin. One Doc says it is permanent though I thought injectables were not. I would love that for my own lost volume. While getting opinions, an esthetician showed me how my own cheek plumped up would pull everything up even the now-stretched jowl area. I loved the look, if it would work.

Would stem cell provide such volume? Does filling in lost cheek volume pull it all up & is it really permanent?

I recently attended a seminar hosted by The Clinique Of Plastic Surgery. As far as I know Dr. Drehsen is the only person in the country doing the stem cell for volumne. And yes, if you have seen his pictures they are amazing. However, I saw some of his patients in person at the seminar. They look even better in person. Look up Dr. Drehsen. I am in my 40's and thinking about doing something soon.
