STEM CELLS
(Prof. Michele Zocchi) Since the moment of its conception
lipoplasty has always been considered a specialized branch
of plastic surgery which takes care of the remodelling of
body adipose tissue.
Classic liposuction or ultrasonic lipoplasty, constituting
the most advanced technical evolution has in fact as its main
objective, the reduction of volumes through the taking away
of excess adipose tissue.
Lipofilling and lipo-trasplant on the other hand allow for
the addition of adipose cells to those anatomic areas where
support volumes are naturally lacking and secondly as in the
ageing process.
For many years then, the plastic surgeon found himself confronted
with large quantities of adipose tissue, underestimating its
enormous intrinsic potential.
The most advanced research has been able to demonstrate that
adipose tissue presents the same potentiality of growth as
that of stem mesenchymal multi powerful bone marrow cells.
But when taking away bone marrow the results are more traumatic
and limitative, while adipose tissue can represent an inexhaustible
source of easy and immediately available mesenchymal cells
for clinical applications in all those areas of medicine that
care for the regeneration of autologous tissues.
In fact from a modest quantity of adipose cells one can obtain,
through rigorous isolation and culture techniques, large quantities
of multi powerful stem cells which can eventually be differentiated
according to needs ( adipose, cartilaginous, bone, endothelial,
muscular, hepathic tissue ...).
