Implants Are Passé – Here’s To Knifeless, Fat-Grafting, Boob-Boosting Procedure

In a country like UK that has been bogged down due to recession, the statistics appear intriguing, with an upsurge in the number of cosmetic surgeries by 5 %. Even male breast reduction surgeries rose by an astounding 44%. These revealing figures were furnished during the yearly conference of the BAAPS or British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons held in Cardiff during the previous week.

The juiciest topic was the advancement made in the ‘fat grafting procedure’ that is pegged as ‘the latest potent missile for treating patients’.

To imbeciles, fat grafting appears rather uncomplicated – merely translating to fat removal from undesirable spots like buttocks, abdomen or the thigh region and injecting it into the chest or the facial area and the outcome is one pleased-as-plum, curvy patient.

Nonetheless, it calls for the employment of a skilful procedure wherein the fat is drawn out from the spot followed by hundreds of fine drops being introduced within the skin in a technique that lasts for four arduous hours.

Dr. Roger Khouri hailing from Maimi was one surgeon who garnered the maximum attention when he made a presentation regarding his revolutionary discoveries. He has been putting a lot of time and effort on his pet project ‘the implant-free breast enhancement’ since the last five years on fifty women, ten of whom resided in the UK.

Those women were closely supervised with routine MRI imaging to check the breast growth and to spot any problems. Only one of those women faced impediment in the form of an infection.

Dr.Khouri, a microsurgery expert since more than two decades, stated that his technique is set to become the most viable substitute option for several women. He explicated that through the harvesting process the fat cells are reaped employing mild liposuction method.

What ensues is scrupulous fat grafting of hundreds of fine drops in the area around the breast, excluding the lymph node or the nipples.

The fat then shows growth in the vicinity of the tissue and the breasts innately show enlargement over a span of 3 months. Dr. Khouri states that this procedure is far from being the crude breast enhancements for pole dancers – that meant it would not give a woman an unbalanced, top-heavy novel cup measurement. The extent of proliferation depends on the size of the breast.

Dr.Khouri along with two surgeons at the Harley Medical Group, UK, has been working on this procedure that would become available to the masses in the following year.

Yet, his co-associates have been quite incredulous regarding the technique becoming obtainable so early and consider that detailed research is still required in this matter.

Dr. Rajiv Grover, consulting surgeon cum secretary of the BAAPS elucidated that only lately has there been a discovery wherein adult fat are noted to contain stem cells that could redevelop into other forms of soft tissue like fat, breast and collagen-manufacturing skin cells. It could be used in restoration of soft tissue on the face while enhancing the skin’s quality and could be useful in the breast too.

Dr. Khouri added that there is no evidence that fat has carcinogenic properties. This technique is preformed under the influence of anesthesia with no incising, scarring taking place and the outcome is all innate and everlasting.

The perils of cosmetic tourism were additionally brought into focus – BAAPS study has discovered that on ninety percent websites that offer treatments abroad, none cited any complications that might arise and a deplorable 55% of the patients were given solely telephonic advice prior to touring aboard for the purpose of surgery.

The top cited 5 countries that were cited included S.Africa, Turkey, Belgium, Thailand and Poland.

Also 1 among 5 procedures would lead to wound-recovery problems, with the tummy-tuck procedure topping the list for leading to complications.

Those countries had no facility wherein a distraught patient had any kind of legal rights to be able to follow up a grievance, as there was a dearth of any such enforcement there. The NHS would however take up any needed medical procedure like treating a leakage in a breast implant, it would still steer clear from replacement.
