Stem Cell Facelifts

Here in Naples, Florida we have been offering "stem cell face lifts" for eleven years. I just haven't called them that. What is this anyway? Recently the importance of the stem cells found in ones own fat was discovered as a rejuvenating force! Using the healing potential found in fat cell/ stem cells, the effects of facial rejuvenation with volume enhancement is improved beyond just volume restoration. The texture of the skin is improved especially in those patients with previous acne scarring and loss of elasticity due to sun exposure. The texture, thickness, and ultimately the appearance of the skin is changed for the better. Obviously the volume restoration is also the key to "looking like you did"!

Am I a Candidate for a Tummy Tuck?

A tummy tuck is a body contouring procedure that results in a smoother, tighter abdomen. It is commonly sought by men and women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s who have tried diet and exercise but still have slack skin and muscle s in the abdominal area. The procedure is especially popular among women who have had one or more children but do not plan on having more, since it allows not only for the tightening of slack abdominal muscles, but also for the removal of stretch marks, since skin is removed from the abdominal region.

In general, the best candidates for tummy tucks are in good general health, are at or near their ideal weight, are non-smokers, and have realistic expectations for the procedure.

To learn more, you can read our Good Candidates for Tummy Tuck page, or schedule a personal evaluation with Naples, Florida plastic surgeon Dr. Manuel Peña today.
