Application of Stem Cell-Enriched Fat Injection

One of the most frequently asked questions today is, “What can I do to rejuvenate my face?” While aging is a natural part of life, the desire to look youthful and well-groomed is universal. Fortunately, our bodies are equipped with remarkable regenerative potential—thanks to stem cells. While bone marrow stem cells have been known for years, a groundbreaking discovery in 2003 revealed that fat tissue also harbors potent stem cells, called Adipocyte-Derived Stem Cells (ADSC). This has opened a new chapter in both reconstructive and aesthetic medicine.

These versatile stem cells can transform into a variety of cell types—including bone, cartilage, nerve, and fat cells—while supporting the tissue into which they are injected. By releasing essential molecules, they enhance blood flow and nutrition in targeted areas, making them highly effective for facial rejuvenation.

In our clinic, we harvest these regenerative cells from fat tissue, combine them with purified fat, and inject them into areas of the face that have lost volume with age. This method not only restores volume but also improves the quality and health of the skin.

Why Volume Matters
Even if your body weight remains stable, facial fat naturally decreases with age, contributing to sagging skin and a tired appearance. Lifestyle factors like smoking and poor sleep further accelerate this process. That’s why we often say: “A little fat covers a lot of flaws.” Fat injections replenish lost volume and stimulate skin renewal, giving the face a brighter, healthier, and more youthful look.

Procedure Details
Fat is usually collected from areas like the abdomen, lower back, or thighs. After purification through specialized filters, it’s separated into microfat, nanofat, and stem cells. Depending on the individual’s needs—especially those with mid-face hollowing, under-eye depressions, or temple volume loss—40 to 60 cc of fat may be required.

The procedure is performed under anesthesia in an operating room. Minimal bruising may occur, and most patients can resume work with light makeup after five days. Swelling typically resolves within two weeks. For long-lasting results, avoiding smoking is crucial.

Fat injections enriched with stem cells show visible improvements within three months. If needed, additional sessions can be scheduled after six months or a year.

Advantages of Fat Injections

  • Uses your body’s own tissue—eliminating the risk of allergic reactions

  • Naturally enhances skin structure and elasticity

  • Offers long-lasting results, especially compared to dermal fillers

  • Suitable for both men and women seeking a subtle, natural-looking enhancement

Common Treatment Areas

  • Face: Forehead, temples, under-eyes, cheeks, nasolabial folds, chin

  • Body: Hands, breasts, buttocks

Special Applications

  • Chin & Jawline: Improves definition and proportions, especially in patients with less prominent features

  • Hands: Reduces visible veins and dryness

  • Breasts & Buttocks: Multiple sessions may be required; results are generally permanent

For the buttocks, high-volume fat injections—also known as Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)—are effective but must be approached with caution due to the risk of fat embolism. That’s why detailed consultation and precise surgical technique are essential.
