The Natural Aug - Now at LJCSC

 

The Natural Aug

 

If you have held off from breast enhancement because of any concerns about putting a foreign object into your body, The Natural Breast Aug is a wonderful new option for you.

The surgeons at LJCSC are some of the first doctors in the US  to feature The Natural Aug. It is actually two procedures in one! 

 

We begin by removing unwanted fat from stubborn, hard-to-shrink areas (such as the thighs, hips, belly, arms, back, etc.) using liposuction.

 

The revolutionary PureGraft™ system from local San Diego Company, Cytori Theraputics, is a dialysis-like filter that removes all the impurities and blood in the fat before it is transferred, so you get the best possible results.

 

Once the fat has been purified, we transfer it into your breasts using very precise micro-droplets to sculpt each breast.  With your own natural fat, there is no rejection, and you're not putting anything artificial in your body.

 

The amount of fat we can transfer depends on each individual patient, although a cup and a half increase is common.  Your individual situation may vary, so this is where a consultation with the surgeons at LJCSC can give much more detail.

This is very exciting, but the most common question is "what are the risks?"

 

All surgery has risks, but the relative risks of liposuction and fat transfer are very low.  Our surgeons are glad to provide more details and to see if you are a candidate in a personal consultation.

Fat Banking Is Here

After having unwanted fat removed via liposuction you can do three things with the fat:

1) Throw it away (boo!)

2) Use it in another part of your body

3) Use it in another part of your body AND save the rest for use at a later time!    

We work with a very special bank... enabling you to bank + withdraw your own soft-tissue + regenerative and stem-cells for today's and tomorrow's unmet medical needs.

Traditional Fat Transfer vs.  

Cell Enriched Fat Transfer

Model

Fat transfer (aka. fat grafting) is not a new concept. For years, surgeons have been able to take fat from one part of the body, spin it in a centrifuge and re-inject it into the body to add volume. However, this traditional non cell-enriched approach has one of the lowest patient satisfaction ratings of all cosmetic procedures.


Worth It? ... Not So Much

According to RealSelf.com's "Was it Worth It?" scale, fat transfer comes in near the bottom of all cosmetic procedures listed with about 33% satisfaction rate. Why? Because with traditional methods, most of the fat doesn't last. For all the money and effort, only about 30% of the fat that gets put back in to the body remains at a year. The rest dies off and gets eliminated from the body.


The Fatvantage

Fat has many advantages over other materials: it is your own tissue (autologous), biocompatible, easily accessible and available and can produce aesthetically pleasing and natural-looking results.


Cell-Enriched Fat Transfer to the Rescue

Contrary to what you may have been led to believe all these years, fat is "gold".  We now know that fat contains adult stem and regenerative cells (for you science buffs, this is known as Adipose-Derived Regenerative Cells, or ADRCs). These cells exist naturally in every human's fat.   

Using new cell-enriched fat-transfer technology, our surgeons can enrich the fat they take from your body with your own stem and regenerative cells extracted from your body's fat.  The cells are believed to promote fat graft survival by providing necessary oxygen and nutrients.  This dramatically increases the odds that the fat will stay where you inject it.  Instead of 30% of the fat surviving at a year, the average findings are that 90% of the fat is still there one year post transfer.   

Happy Patients  

Cell-enriched procedures have been tested in Europe on many patients with a high patient satisfaction rate.
