What Is Stem Cell Therapy Using Your Own Fat?
Stem cell therapy using your own fat is an autologous regenerative procedure that utilizes naturally occurring regenerative cells found within adipose (fat) tissue.
During surgery, a small amount of fat is gently collected through liposuction. From this tissue, regenerative cells are isolated and used during the same surgical procedure to support the body’s natural healing processes.
Because the cells come from your own body, this therapy is:
Autologous (your own tissue)
Minimally manipulated
Same-day, point-of-care
Not associated with immune rejection
How This Therapy May Support Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Recovery
Supporting Early Healing After Surgery
(First days to weeks)
After cosmetic surgery, the body initiates an inflammatory healing response. Stem cell therapy using your own fat is intended to support this natural process.
Patients undergoing aesthetic procedures in Aventura and South Florida may experience:
Reduced swelling and bruising
Improved comfort during recovery
Smoother early healing
This therapy may also support blood flow to healing tissues, which is important for incision healing and soft tissue recovery.
Supporting Ongoing Healing and Refinement
(Weeks to months)
As healing progresses, stem cell therapy may help support:
Scar maturation
Skin texture and elasticity
Overall tissue quality
These effects relate to supporting normal biologic healing, not the creation of new tissues or organs.

Is Stem Cell Therapy Using Your Own Fat Right for You?
Stem cell therapy using your own fat is an optional adjunctive procedure and may not be appropriate for every patient or every surgery. Eligibility is determined during a private consultation based on:
Your procedure
Your medical history
Your aesthetic goals
Why Bank Your Stem Cells?
Stem cell technology represents a significant advancement in modern medicine, offering countless treatment options across various medical fields. Regenerative treatments have been available for many years (eg. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), Exosomes, Platelet Derived Growth Factor (PDGF)) and have proven great healing and anti-inflammatory benefits. However, stem cells derived from fat are unique because they remain relatively young, are multipotent, meaning they can replicate and develop into different cell types such as bone, cartilage, and muscle. Their regenerative capabilities aid in healing and tissue support up to 6 months. As we age, the number and vitality of our stem cells diminish, making it important to bank your stem cells while they are still young and healthy.
Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are an excellent source of personal stem cells that remain viable well into your 80s and 90s. They can be used immediately in the office as part of our HEALIOTHERAPY protocol for advanced post operative recovery or to help treat various medical conditions, including injuries, pain, inflammatory or autoimmune illnesses. Storing your own stem cells, complete with your DNA, eliminates the risk of your body rejecting the cells and reduces the potential transmission of infectious diseases. When handled properly in a certified (cGPT) facility like ACT, your stem cells are safely preserved for future use.
