Fat Grafting Comprehensive Course Synopsis:
Regenerative medicine and strategies using the patient�s own tissue is the most modern effective approach for rejuvenation and soft tissue augmentation. Autologous fat grafting is a unique technique for this modern treatment today. Synthetic fillers or implants have their own set of long-term problems while one's own tissue does not.Such treatment using the patient�s own stem cells as a �natural regenerative implant� could keep its shape and size for years, perhaps for life.

Fat grafting is the latest effective technique for volume correction in aesthetic and reconstructive fields. It presents important advantages in comparison to other fillers, mainly for its regenerative capacities and long term effect. These advantages are offered by regenerative and stem cells highly concentrated in fat tissue. Stem cells are merely immature cells that differentiate to different cell types to renew, regenerate and heal damaged tissues. Fat grafting is known as the safest and simplest treatment with a stable long term result in aesthetical surgery and medicine. However, the success of this treatment depends highly on harvesting, purification and injection methods of fat tissue that will be addressed in this course.

These innovative autologous regenerative treatments of wrinkles, imperfections and ageing by fat grafts will be presented through an interactive course to the participants in a scientific program including theory, live-demonstration and hands-on.
