Cell-Enhanced Reconstruction Procedure
The use of adipose-derived stem and regenerative cells (ADRC's) may present a new option in reconstructive and aesthetic surgery. Cell-Enhanced Reconstruction is a procedure whereby a patient's fat tissue is enriched with his or her own ADRC's to create a natural filler. The applications of ADRC's may be widespread, with potential benefits in breast augmentation, facial cosmetics, breast reconstruction and contour deformities from a variety of acquired and congenital disorders.
Studies began in Europe in 2008 for Cell-Enhanced Reconstruction following partial mastectomy for breast cancer and studies are underway in Japan for breast augmentation as well as breast reconstruction. In the summer of 2008, Dr. Cohen visited Dr. Kamakura in Tokyo to learn the fundamentals of ADRC's for use in breast augmentation. In February 2009, Dr. Kamakura and a team of physicians and nurses visited with Dr. Cohen at FACESplus to further establish an academic relationship.
