Hi Folks, Today I want to share some really great news with you. I am hoping that what I am going to report to you could be a BREAKTHROUGH in treating areas where defects that are essentially “holes” in the soft flesh are left after removing bad things like skin cancer ugly scars or injuries. Let me tell you about “Barbara” (not her real name). I was doing Face Lift on her when I spotted a small “spot” on her cheek near her eye, she was vaguely aware of it but didn’t pay much attention to it. I didn’t like the look of it, so I biopsied it. The pathology showed a skin cancer called – Basal Cell Carcinoma. These tend to go below the surface and spread out. The standard treatment is called MOHS Chemotherapy (name after Dr. Mohs who devised it). This is removing small bits of tissue a little at time and checking it right then & there under a microscope until all the cancer is removed. Then the defect that is left is dealt with. In “Barbara’s” case a large hole over the side of the cheek near the corner of her eye was left. Closing the defect by standard surgery would leave a possibly unsightly scar and pull down the corner of her eye. I am a great believer in Mother Nature being the greatest healer. This would mean let the body heal this wound and deal with fixing a much smaller defect rather than fixing it right away – usually leaving a large scar. Since I have had a large experience with using ADULT STEM CELLS extracted from the person’s own fat and using them in my free fat grafting procedure to enlarge penis size I decided to fill the defect that went to almost down to the cheek bone with her fat own bits of fat along with the stem cells, I then covered the area with an antibiotic dressing. To make a long story short – this healed completely leaving no noticeable defect or scar in about three weeks. (see photos) She has been completely healed and no scar is visible – she is almost a year after the procedure now. This is so EXCITING I am continuing to work on the use of adult FAT derived STEM CELLS in healing. Please feel free to contact me with questions or your ideas. “Without Wax”* Stephen X.
