What is a stem (Stromal Vascular Fraction = SVF) cell?

The cells that make up our body, can transform into other structures and renew themselves continuously with their ability to reproduce are called stem cells.

Stem cells take various names according to their abilities, maturation status or tissue groups they can form. They are the main cells in the human body that can turn into any type of body cell. These cells, which are not yet fully mature, have the ability to divide and renew themselves, and to transform into organs and tissues. Studies in recent years have made it possible to use stem cells for therapeutic purposes in medicine.

Where Can Stem Cells (Stromal Vascular Fraction = SVF) Be Obtained?

They can be obtained from the embryo, fetus and in the human body from bone marrow, blood and adipose tissue. The human origin of stem cells from the first two sources is ethically possible only in some countries with special permission and for scientific research. The exception is stem cells derived from cord blood.

Stem cells used in medicine for therapeutic purposes are precursor tissue cells that can only transform into certain tissue cells and are not embryonic stem cells. In recent studies, it has been shown that cells derived from connective tissue, especially from adipose tissue, are very effective in completing tissue deficiencies and in rejuvenation.

Adult stem cells are found in all tissues. These adult stem cells then differentiate into the cells of the tissue they are in and are responsible for repairing tissue damage or loss that may occur due to injury, disease or other causes. For example, wound healing in our body is provided by this mechanism. As the aging process is a very slow tissue loss spread over time, unfortunately it cannot stimulate the adult stem cells in the tissue and the skin succumbs to gravity.

Previously, stem cells could only be obtained from the bone marrow. Obtaining stem cells from bone marrow was a very painful, difficult and time-consuming process. In recent years, when it was determined that stem cells are 500 times more abundant in adipose tissue in scientific studies, it became possible to differentiate stem cells in adipose tissue thanks to technological possibilities.

The main factor in skin aging is the loss of properties of elastic fibers and the reduction of collagen fibers. This process leads to loss of elasticity and soft tissue in the skin, sagging and wrinkles occur on the skin. To correct this situation, minimally invasive (non-invasive or minimally invasive) methods are rapidly gaining popularity.

How is Stem Cell (Stromal Vascular Fraction = SVF) Supported Fat Tissue Transfer Method applied?

Fat tissue is collected from the abdomen and waist area of ​​the person under local anesthesia with special methods and sent to the laboratory with special transfer packages. After a few days, the fatty tissue enriched with stem cells is delivered to the clinic with special transfer packages, and SVF-supported adipose tissue is applied to the area to be applied under local anesthesia by cannula method. transfer is applied.

Who is Stem Cell (Stromal Vascular Fraction = SVF) Supported Fat Tissue Transfer Therapy suitable for?

While sagging on the skin is not very evident in the 30s and 40s, sagging becomes more evident from the 40s. Of course, there are personal and genetic differences. However, as we mentioned above, minimally invasive methods are very popular today and the number of people who care for their skin with small touches is increasing day by day. For this reason, the age limit at which skin sagging becomes evident may progress to the age of 45 or perhaps 50. On the other hand, there is no age limit for this procedure. It was best to decide on the procedure to be done after the examination according to the current situation of the people.

Stem (SVF) cell therapy can be applied only with stem cells or in the form of adipose tissue transfer with stem cells.

Where can Stem Cell (Stromal Vascular Fraction = SVF) Supported Fat Tissue Transfer Therapy be applied?

It can be applied to many areas of the face, hand, leg, butt, chest, scar filling or body where fullness is desired.

What is the difference between Stem Cell (Stromal Vascular Fraction = SVF) Supported Adipose Tissue Transfer Therapy and only adipose tissue transfer?

In the transfer of adipose tissue enriched from stem cells, the tissue can nourish and multiply itself, so the permanence is much longer than only fat transfer. The stem cell both provides fullness and turns into tissue cells in whichever tissue it is in.

Stem Cell (Stromal Vascular Fraction = SVF)  How is the recovery process of Supported Adipose Tissue Transfer Therapy?

Stem cell applications have an accelerating effect on healing. Although the recovery varies from person to person, it is possible to return to normal life within 5 days for the face and breast, and within 7 days for the butt and legs. In the early period, there may be a slight edema or bruising in the area where the fat is removed and transferred. If the application is applied for leg augmentation purposes, it is recommended to wear compression stockings for 2 or 3 weeks, and if it is for breast augmentation, it is recommended to wear a sports bra for 2 weeks. The complication rate is quite low since it is a closed procedure, but problems such as infection, prolonged edema, and asymmetry may occur. .

When are the results noticeable?

The results can be seen immediately except for a slight edema, that is, the fullness obtained can be seen immediately. However, with the disappearance of edema and the settlement of the adipose tissue, the full result is observed in a few weeks. The permanent fullness obtained is usually 60-70% of the injected adipose tissue. 30-40% part dissolves in 1 month. The results we obtain with fat cells enriched with stem cells are both tissue-repairing and permanent. The person has fat cells living in the injected area. When the person gains weight, it gains in those areas, and when there is weight loss, it becomes thinner in those areas. But fat cells do not disappear.

Is only Stem Cell (Stromal Vascular Fraction = SVF) treatment possible without Fat Tissue Transfer?

Of course it is possible. If there is no volumetric loss in people and it is not aimed to gain volume, and if there is only an antiaging target, such a treatment is possible. Stem cell collection and production are similar, and then mesotherapy is applied to the targeted area.

Are there any side effects of Stem Cell (Stromal Vascular Fraction = SVF) Supported Adipose Tissue Transfer Therapy or stem cell therapy alone?

Except for a slight edema and sometimes bruising, very very rarely (if hygiene and care is not taken care of) there is no serious side effect other than the risk of infection.
