HOW ABOUT LIPOSUCTION?!! IT MAY NOT BE JUST FOR PLASTIC SURGERY AFTER ALL…
Everyone this spring and summer will do their yearly battles or struggles with “the bulge”, aka, love handles, body fat, or simply the belly FAT
There is something good in these so called “love handles” —- THEY ARE RICH WITH STEM CELLS!!
Why are stem cells so important in? Because, in our wold of Orthopedic Medicine, stem cells HAVE THE POTENTIAL to turn into new tendons, ligaments, bone, cartilage, muscle when they get injured. Basically, athletes and patients alike, can have a NONSURGICAL option to repair injured shoulders, knees, hips, foot and ankle.
So, how can Liposuction benefit Athletes and patients with orthopedic injury and joint pain?
Here ‘s how it works:
First, we would do LIPOSUCTION to literally take the fat out of the love handles or abdominal area.
Second, we would filter the fat with a centrifuge, so that we can get the stem cells.
Third, we would inject the stem cells into any injured body part such as shoulder, knee, ankle. Medical Studies show that stem cells have the potential to heal fractures and other damaged tissues (1, 2, 3) .
Lastly, we would do PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma Injections) to activate the stem cells so that they can grow and repair any damaged joint WITHOUT SURGERY.
So next time you or someone you know complains about Belly Fat, just remember that it may be used to help treat your orthopedic issues!
