Stem cells are cells in the body that have the potential to develop into different tissue types depending on the environment they’re introduced to. Stem cell makeovers utilize stem cell-enriched fat cells to rejuvenate areas of the body experiencing volume loss. The process uses fat cells obtained via liposuction, which are then put in a centrifuge to separate the stem cells. These can then be injected into areas such as the hands, face, and breasts to add volume.

Stem cell makeovers are ideal for patients who have lost volume in various areas of the body due to signs of aging, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. This innovative procedure uses fat cells with a higher concentration of stem cells, making them suitable for reintroduction into the body to provide a natural boost in volume.
Although a stem cell makeover is considered surgery, it’s an outpatient procedure. Once the anesthesia wears off, you can likely go home the same day. This also means you won’t have to take extended time off from work or other aspects of your daily routine, and you don’t have to worry about staying overnight (or longer) in a hospital. You can be back home and in your bed the same day you receive your stem cell makeover.
While it can take several weeks for your body to recover after a stem cell makeover fully, your downtime is minimal. Many patients return to most aspects of their daily routine in 48 to 72 hours; however, your surgeon will provide you with a more precise timeline for your recovery. Furthermore, you shouldn’t participate in vigorous exercise until cleared by your doctor.
