Stem Cell Facelift
Stem Cell facelift represents a process whereby the hidden genetic potential of adult stem cells is awakened. Human fat has been shown to be an excellent source of adult stem cells. By transplanting carefully harvested autologus (your own) fat, we eliminate any potential for an allergic reaction. During the procedure, both the donor and the recipient sites are pre-treated with growth factors. This important step leads to greatly improved “take” of the transplanted fat.
Introducing the “Stem Cell Facelift,”
Complete Facial Rejuvenation offers a Cost-Effective Alternative to Surgery
Over the decades, multiple procedures have been presented for rejuvenation of the face, most of them stressing the need for extensive surgery in the form of a facelift. In the last 10 years, use of temporary fillers has become a very popular avenue for temporary rejuvenation, or at least for creating the illusion of a younger, more rested, facial appearance.
Now, with the advent of stem cell technology and a wealth of information about the aging process, a revolutionary new procedure, termed a “Stem Cell Facelift” was created the world renowned anti-aging physician and plastic surgeon Vincent Giampapa, MD, FACS. The procedure was presented in Paris on October 17th at the World Academy of Anti-Aging and Cosmetic Medicine.
The “Stem Cell Facelift” is a complete facial rejuvenation procedure without involving any surgery. The procedure, which Dr. Giampapa has been performing for the last 4 years, restores the youthful contour and shape of the face as well as skin tightness, and evens out color irregularities caused by the aging process and environmental sun exposure.
Although fat grafting to the face has been known and utilized for over a decade with a varying amount of success, this new approach, of transplanting “Adult Stem Cells” and fat from the lower abdominal area, and awakening them as well as the local stem cells within the face with specific stem cell growth factors, is a revolutionary technique to facial rejuvenation.
The patients treated have exhibited marked improvement not only in the underlying soft tissue contours of the face but the skin itself. These specific “Stem Cell Growth Factors” induce the skin and fatty layers to produce more of their own cells. The Factors stimulate or initiate “a signal” to both the local stem cells within the skin and fat as well as the transplanted adult stem cells from the lower abdomen to multiply and restore themselves.
Adult Stem Cells, are now known to be a source for producing other “hormone like” substances to enhance both skin quality and the underlying subcutaneous fatty tissues of the cheeks, the mid face and the skin in general. The result is a long term marked improvement that enhances both skin quality as well as the underlying youthful contours of the face.
The procedure is accomplished under local anesthesia in about an hour in the office setting. This is a procedure that avoids the need for a hospital trip and general anesthesia. Recovery time takes about a week. At the end of this time, light powder and makeup is easily applied, and the results document an extremely natural, full rested facial contour.
The “Stem Cell Facelift” may also eliminate the need for ongoing facial “filler” injections like Restylane, Juvederm and the other hyaluronic acid fillers. The improvement of the skin frequently eliminates the need for Botox for many patients as well.

Q: I want to get breast augmentation, but don’t want any scarring. Also, I am concerned about breast feeding and mammograms? Is there a procedure that will work for me?
Cosmetic breast surgery, as all surgery, is evolving towards minimally invasive techniques because of their many advantages, decreased complications, and improvement in post operative pain and recovery time.
This has led to the development of the TransUmbilical Breast Augmention (TUBA) or breast augmentation through the belly button. I have designed many of the instruments for this technique, and currently, to my knowledge, perform more of these procedures than anyone in the world. Many of the instruments that I use are named after myself.
This technique is an evolution in breast augmentation, much like how gallbladders are now removed through the belly button, tubes are tied through the belly button, and heart catheterization is done through small incisions in the groin. There are many advantages to this technique. The incision is done through a small mark under the hood of the belly button, leaving no scars on the breast. There is no cutting around the nipple and areola. This decreases the chance of permanent loss of nipple sensation, as confirmed in clinical studies. There is no cutting through the breast tissue, gland, or ducts. Thus there is less interference with breast feeding and mammograms. Further, clinical studies have shown a significant decrease in hardening of the breast and a much improved recovery time. Patients with this technique have less pain and typically are back to driving and regular activities within 2 to 3 days. One can resume working out within 2 to 3 weeks.
I perform all the different approaches in breast augmentation, but this is my preferred technique and comprises approximately 85% of my primary breast augmentation practice. This technique can be combined with other techniques through the belly, such as liposuction, umbilicoplasty (tightening of the skin and/or stretch marks round or on top of the belly button) or tummy tuck, and can be combined with breast lifting techniques. I have been performing this technique since 1997 and place approximately 1000 implants per year.
My personal experience with this technique shows a significant decrease in complication rates as compared to other approaches. I have never had an infection on a primary breast augmentation with this approach. Rates of capsule contracture (hardening of the pocket around the implant), hematoma, breast implant deflation from the surgery, and decrease in nipple sensation are much less than other approaches in breast augmentation. Doctors from around the world regularly come to watch me perform this technique and I lecture regularly about this technique at national and international meetings.
This procedure can be performed under or over the muscle, although I strongly recommend going underneath the muscle as it leaves a more natural look and feel and is better for breast feeding and mammograms. I typically use smooth round saline implants, which leave the most natural feel. These implants, when designed with the proper surgical pocket, appear round when the patient is lying on her back and teardrop shaped when standing.
I also perform many other cosmetic plastic surgery procedures on the face and body. For more information, please contact me at 310 575 1500 or www.DrCheski.com

Trans Umbilical Breast Aumentation
Dr Cheski Discusses Issues in Breast Augmentation.
Issue: Saline versus Silicone implants
There is a lot of misinformation about this because much of the literaturerumours, and word of mouth about silicone implants is based on liquid silicone implants from the 1970’s, 80’s and early 90’s. The silicone implants used now are a cohesive gel implant, and they behave much differently . The silicone implant has a higher rate of leakage and the leaks are harder to detect and correct. Silicone implants come pre-filled and thus require a larger incision/scar and are much more difficult to match size in patients who have one breast larger than the other. Further, the silicone implants are more expensive.
Some people think that cohesive gel implants(modern silicone) have less rippling and a more natural feel. This is true with the old liquid silicone implants, but I, and many other surgeons, have found that the new implants actually have more ripples and a higher rate of capsule contracture(hardening of the breasts) . To get FDA approval, the implants are now safer but the trade off is a higher rate of rippling.
In contrast, the new saline implants are far superior to the saline implants of old. I have found that there is a significant decrease in rippling and more natural feel, especially among the high profile saline implants. The implants are inserted uninflated and are inflated in place, thus they can be inserted through a much smaller incision, resulting in a much smaller scar. A leak or deflation is much safer and is easier to detect and correct. Further, there is a much lower risk of capsule contracture, especially when placed through the belly button.
I use both saline and silicone implants, but I much prefer the saline implants.
Issue: Minimizing and Treating Rippling
Place the implant under the muscle. I prefer the High Profile Saline Implant. Their configuration has a sidewall that ripples less. Also, more of the implant is under the muscle and less hanging toward the armpit.
I have developed a unique technique to minimize the risk, or treat, rippling. For very thin patients or for patients who has rippling, I suggest fat grafting to the area of rippling which provides a cushion between the skin and the implant. This masks any potential rippling.
Issue: Capsule Contracture:
To minimize the risk of capsule contracture, I prefer to use saline High Profile under the muscle and use massage post operatively. Also, placing the breast implant through the belly Button, or TUBA) greatly reduces the chance of Capsule Contracture
Issue: Need to change implants every 10 years.
This used to be true with the old implants, but it is no longer the case. In fact the implants are guaranteed for life by the manufacturer, which covers a replacement implant plus provides money toward the surgery.
